OpenAI's subscription renaming called misleading: $500 Pro tier equals old 20x plan
scaling01 · x · 2026-09-30
- scaling01 argues OpenAI is copying Anthropic's playbook with misleading subscription naming: the new $500 tier effectively gives you what used to be the 20x plan.
- Conversion by the new naming: Plus = 1x, Pro 100 = 5x, Pro 200 = 10x, Pro 500 = 25x — higher price, no real gain in absolute quota.
