OpenAI introduced a $100/month Pro plan on Thursday, expanding its pricing options. The plan offers 5x more Codex capacity than the $20 Plus plan, targeting developers needing intensive coding tools. The $200 plan remains available with 20x higher limits. OpenAI states the new tier directly challenges Anthropic's Claude pricing. More than 3 million users globally access Codex weekly, with usage growing 70% monthly.
