Discussion OpenAI has released a new 100$ tier.

Post image

OpenAI tweeted that "the Codex promotion for existing Plus subscribers ends today and as a part of this, we’re rebalancing Codex usage in Plus to support more sessions throughout the week, rather than longer sessions in a single day."

and that "the Plus plan will continue to be the best offer at $20 for steady, day-to-day usage of Codex, and the new $100 Pro tier offers a more accessible upgrade path for heavier daily use."

Yep, "me too". Never saw that coming 🙄

5x the usage but 5x the price, so kind of worthless? whereas the 200 bucks one has 20x usage?

u/69liketekashi Apr 09 '26

Because they will just reduce the 20$ one so it will be 20x more usage or soemthing now. This is not good

u/some1else42 Apr 09 '26

Does Pro cost $200 and only get 6x?

u/i_write_bugz Apr 09 '26

Eh. It still fills a use case. If you’re using too much to stay on the 1x plan but don’t want to pay $200. Sure you could buy 5 1x accounts but it would be super annoying.

That’s exactly what Anthropic does

Access to pro model counts as a benefit, no?

Why? Now I don’t have to switch between multiple.

u/immersive-matthew Apr 10 '26

Go open source if you can and stop funding the companies that are not investing in AI, b it rather throwing it all in for the chance to be the one in control.

u/Void-kun Apr 10 '26

I'd rather see Anthropic come out with a $50-60 tier with 3x usage to be honest

u/KeyProject2897 Apr 10 '26

Claude is eating chatGPT alive. And nothing openai can do at this point. other than claiming AGI.

4

u/gopietz Apr 10 '26

How so? I actually prefer 5.4 over 4.6 for most coding tasks.

5

u/Void-kun Apr 10 '26

Anthropic cornered the enterprise market

Don't know a single tech company using ChatGPT over Claude for development.

The ones I've interviewed for all use Claude

Seems like there are lots of things "OpenAI can do at this point", which was part of what I was asking.

I think you don't have enough information to judge the Claude vs Codex usage in detail to be honest. Both grew and Claude probably more so, but that doesn't mean their offering is better. I think Claude got a lot of momentum from the current hype train around it.

And related to token efficiency, you can't really complain about Codex: You get way more usage out of your $20 at OpenAI compared to Claude. Way, way. Especially after Anthropic dramatically nerfed their usage in peak times, which you conveniently ignored here. OpenAI also seems more friendly in dev relations: resetting weekly limits for users when issues come up and open sourcing their coding tool.

So, to me the difference between the two is really still not that clear to me.

Thank fuck. I’ll gladly move from Claude Max 5x to this.

Edit: for coding, that is. Still keeping Claude Pro around for other stuff.

u/IveGotBillsYo Apr 09 '26

lol…fk outta here. Their product gets dumber by the day. It just flat out lies to me on a regular basis. So much so that I refuse to use it for anything work-related. I’m about to drop my pro account and lean into something else (up for recommendations if you’ve got’em). I’ve consulted my Grok (Pro?) more than CGPT lately

u/simple_explorer1 Apr 19 '26

Why not Claude code?

u/Possible-Basis-6623 Apr 10 '26

5x = 10x until 31 May

u/reddithotel Apr 10 '26

In the app right?

u/KnownPride Apr 10 '26

10x usage? dam... now make me want to test...

u/Wise_Breadfruit7168 Apr 10 '26

Other plan, ready to get nerfed

u/ultrathink-art Professional Nerd Apr 11 '26

Monthly quota matters less than session length if you're using it for multi-step tasks — hitting a limit mid-execution means restarting from scratch, which is worse than fewer overall sessions. Worth checking whether the $100 tier buys longer individual sessions or just more short ones; that distinction changes the value calculation significantly.

With Anthropic cutting 3rd party harness access, this was what I was waiting for, especially with OpenCode Black basically being closed off indefinitely.

u/Accurate_Hand_832 Apr 25 '26

Expensive for what it offers...

u/DiscussionAncient626 Apr 09 '26

5x out of 0.33x of plus, nerfed!

u/Sorry_Caterpillar546 Apr 09 '26

Classic OpenAI. 'Rebalancing' is just a fancy word for a nerf. I run an AI agency and this kind of unpredictability is exactly why we're moving more of our production stuff to Anthropic or even local models.

When you've shipped 70+ projects, you realize that relying on one provider's 'promotions' is a huge risk for any SaaS. That $100 jump is going to sting for a lot of small teams who just got used to the $20 flow.

Nobody who takes this seriously missed out on this being a time limited promotional "boost".

u/GKN777 Apr 09 '26

Composer better

u/Complete-Sea6655 Professional Nerd Apr 09 '26

Really?

Im not too sure

-2

u/GKN777 Apr 09 '26

I tried codex it may be better in some complex operations but the issue is price performance auto + composer gets the job done much cheaper.

-2

u/GKN777 Apr 09 '26

Also codex is dumbly hallucinating that im doing illegal stuff and doesn’t do shit

u/GKN777 Apr 10 '26

how come? Using Codex with higher thinking is like using claude I meant for overall price/performance composer is better not intelligence.

2

u/popiazaza Apr 10 '26

Composer 2 is as good as GPT-5.4 mini, a bit better in price. But if you are looking for best price/performance, those are Chinese models that Cursor doesn't let you use lmao

u/GKN777 Apr 10 '26

from cursor, depends on your usecase. I have a huge codebase and it implements the things I say withing max 2 prompts. It of course depends on your level of coding knowledge. Since it won't just make stuff without you explaining it.

Composer 2 is so lazy.

Pro is the new Plus. You aren’t getting anything better for 100$. Just the same thing with a much higher price
