ChatGPT Plus
A paid subscription tier for ChatGPT offered by OpenAI, providing faster response speeds, access to frontier models, and Codex-based programming capabilities. The subscription plan launched in February 2023.
Core Facts
OpenAI's ChatGPT Plus is priced at $20 per month, Anthropic's Claude Pro is priced the same, and Google One AI Premium (including Gemini Advanced) is $19.99 per month.
OpenAI's revenue sources include ChatGPT Plus subscriptions, enterprise API calls, and the Microsoft partnership.
When OpenAI launched the Chat API in 2023, it established a message format specification containing system, user, and assistant roles, which was subsequently widely adopted by the industry.
Timeline (last 90 days)
ChatGPT Plus users can send about 30 to 150 messages every 5 hours when using Codex.
The Plus tier ($20/month) is currently the lowest threshold at which GPT-6 Sol can be bought.
Plus is the only ChatGPT tier that unlocks the full Codex capability.
For programming, complex reasoning, and automated workflow scenarios, Plus is the only choice, and the combination of Sol plus Codex currently has no substitute.
The way to judge whether an independent pool or a shared pool is more suitable for an individual developer is to look back at the usage logs of the past month: if the volume of code-type requests and Q&A-type requests is close, an independent pool is more reliable; if one of these categories is clearly dominant, a shared pool can instead make use of idle quota.
Using Codex requires logging in with a ChatGPT subscription account, and the minimum Plus plan at $20 per month is sufficient.
OpenAI's paid subscriptions (ChatGPT Plus/Pro) do not offer a differentiated human support path for account appeals, and there is no substantive difference in appeal rights between paying heavy users and free users.
OpenAI's new model (codenamed Luna) went live on ChatGPT Plus at 135 yuan/month, with the lowest per-quota cost across the entire product line
The new Pro quota is approximately 10 times the usage of the Plus tier, whereas the old version was approximately 20 times
The official subscription channel is the highest-security option for account safety; third-party top-up services, regardless of their form, involve account credentials and carry risks.
