Intro [0:00]
The video begins with the announcement that the creator has released a previous ChatGPT pricing video, noting significant changes since then. The main focus is on the way ChatGPT will count usage starting in December. For newcomers, the video provides a detailed breakdown of ChatGPT pricing plans and their features.
Six prices, four plan names [0:38]
The video lists six pricing tiers for ChatGPT, ranging from a free plan to a pro plan costing up to $500 monthly. The plans include Free, Go ($8/month), Plus ($20/month), and three Pro levels at $100, $200, or $500 monthly. It is mentioned that the business and enterprise plans have separate pricing.
Chat, Work and Codex [1:08]
ChatGPT is categorised into three main functionalities: Chat, Work, and Codex. Chat allows simple text interactions, Work focuses on complex tasks like document creation and data analysis, while Codex caters to software development. Work and Codex offer more advanced model options compared to Chat.
Free [1:54]
The Free plan provides several features, including unlimited text chats, web searching, file uploads, and data analysis, although some tools have unspecified limits. Users can adjust the ‘thinking levels’ for more complex queries. New features include generating visual answers, connecting to iCloud mail, and using ChatGPT within Microsoft Word. Flashcards feature is also available, and the plan provides limited access to Work and Codex functionalities.
Go [4:27]
The Go plan, priced at $8 a month, enhances existing features from the Free plan with increased usage capacity for tools. It includes more options for image creation and larger file uploads. Go provides a broader conversational context and a monthly quota for Codex usage.
Plus [5:16]
The Plus plan at $20 monthly upgrades user capabilities significantly. It introduces medium and high thinking levels for more complex tasks, alongside enhanced deep research tools that compile information from various sources. Users have more access to Work functionalities across web and mobile applications, and Codex Cloud allows coding tasks to be completed using OpenAI’s resources.
Pro [6:58]
Pro plans begin at $100 monthly and include advanced functionalities. Pro plans offer a new Pro reasoning level, allowing complex tasks to be divided among multiple agents. Users also receive Dots agents for ongoing project management and collaborative editing in a shared space, allowing document creation and sharing. Unlimited fast image generation and the highest tier of deep research tools are also part of Pro plans, with monthly API credits for app integration.
The new usage ladder [9:18]
The video explains that the usage structure has changed. The Plus plan is considered a baseline for usage while Pro plans will have significantly higher limits for Codex and Work. The $100 plan offers ten times the usage of Plus, with subsequent Pro plans offering further increases in allowance.
How usage works today and in December [10:28]
Current usage is divided among different functions, including Chat, images, files, and Codex. Starting in December, all subscription plans will share a single pool of usage, moving towards a more integrated system for Chat and Work. Testing of this combined experience is currently underway.
Where to find your usage [11:51]
Users can check their usage by navigating to their profile and scrolling to the usage section. OpenAI may issue banked resets to users, which can be utilised when needed. The upcoming shared usage pool is expected to be visible in this section, with certain exceptions for instant chat usage.
What OpenAI hasn't said yet [12:25]
Details that remain undisclosed include the size of the usage pool per plan, reset frequency, and the exact launch date for the December changes. It is also unclear how specific usage types will integrate into the new shared pool.
The plan I'm on [13:26]
The creator shares their experience on the $100 Pro plan, discussing its value and features, particularly the Dot agent. The agent's access to projects and files has proven beneficial, underscoring the worth of the Pro plan for ongoing project management.
