OpenAI's $100 'Pro Lite' Tier Leaks — Codex Access Included
OpenAI is building a $100/mo ChatGPT tier between Plus ($20) and Pro ($200), with Codex access as a key selling point.
OpenAI is quietly developing ChatGPT Pro Lite — a $100/month subscription tier spotted in internal code, designed to bridge the gap between Plus ($20) and Pro ($200).
The plan reportedly offers a Deep Reasoning Model with 3–5x the usage limits of Plus, unlimited multimodal (voice, image, video), and critically — Codex access with priority speed. Codex's explosive growth is clearly driving this: over 2 million builders now use it weekly, and Codex usage inside Business/Enterprise accounts has grown 6x since January.
The move signals OpenAI is segmenting its user base more aggressively — capturing power users who've outgrown Plus but won't pay $200/mo for Pro.
Why it matters: Codex demand is forcing OpenAI to rethink its pricing ladder. A $100 tier normalizes AI coding agents as a standalone premium product.
