Not Wanting to Lose the Competition, ChatGPT Launches Massive Discounts

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - ChatGPT has launched a 50% discount for the Pro package. This policy comes as competition among AI models heats up. OpenAI has introduced the latest ChatGPT Pro package priced at US$100 (Rp 1.7 million). Other new pricing includes the Go package at US$8 (Rp 136,000) with ads and the Plus package at US$20 (Rp 341,000) without ads. “It’s great to see Codex receiving so much appreciation. We are launching the ChatGPT Pro package at US$100 in response to popular demand,” said CEO Sam Altman, quoted from Android Authority, Friday (10/4/2026). The new packages are optimised for coding tasks. They also offer much greater scope for users, for example, the Codex usage limit is five times higher than the Plus package. An Android Authority report states that the previously available US$200 (Rp 3.4 million) package is not listed on the official page. However, the company confirmed to Tech Crunch that the most expensive package is still available to customers. OpenAI has openly stated the reason for lowering the current Pro package price. Namely, to remain competitive with other AI giants like Anthropic. Anthropic is known to price its Claude model at US$100 per month. OpenAI promises that Codex provides more coding capacity than Claude. “The new Pro tier at US$100 is designed to provide developers with more practical coding capacity at an appropriate price, especially during intensive work sessions where limits are crucial,” explained an OpenAI spokesperson. “Compared to Claude Code, Codex provides more coding capacity per dollar across all tiers, with the clearest difference seen during active coding usage,” they added.
