Information about our paid subscription plan, Pro.

ChatGPT Pro now offers Pro 500, a new $500/month plan that includes Astra Ultrafast. Pro 200 is also available for new subscriptions again. New subscriptions that aren’t eligible for grandfathering include a lower usage allowance.

**Overview**

ChatGPT Pro includes Pro models, Codex, deep research, image creation, memory and file uploads.

**Pro plans**

Choose from three monthly Pro plans:

Plan Monthly price (USD) Ultrafast Pro 100 $100 Not included Pro 200 $200 Not included Pro 500 $500 Included

Pro 200 includes more usage than Pro 100. Pro 500 offers the highest included usage of the three plans.

See the pricing page for a comparison of the features and usage included in each plan.

**How do I subscribe?**

Sign in to ChatGPT and open the pricing page to select a Pro plan. Use your existing ChatGPT account if you’re changing plans.

**Can I subscribe to Pro 200 again?**

Yes. New Pro 200 subscriptions are available from the pricing page. New subscriptions that aren’t eligible for grandfathering include a lower usage allowance than previously offered with Pro 200 to reflect our increasingly efficient models. The monthly price remains $200.

**What happens to my existing Pro 200 subscription?**

If your Pro 200 subscription was active at the eligibility cutoff or during the seven days before it, you’re eligible to keep your previous included usage allowance through Oct 29, 2026 while you have an active Pro 200 subscription.

After that date, your subscription will move to the lower included usage allowance. Your subscription price stays at $200/month. Only users affected by this change will receive an email with additional details.

**Does keeping my current allowance give me Pro 500 features?**

No. Your subscription remains Pro 200. Keeping your current allowance does not upgrade your plan or add Ultrafast.

**What if I cancel and subscribe again?**

If your Pro 200 subscription lapsed during the seven days before the eligibility cutoff, you can still receive your previous included usage allowance through Oct 29, 2026 if you subscribe again. Subscribers who aren’t eligible for grandfathering receive the updated allowance.

Scheduling a cancellation does not end your subscription immediately. You keep access until the end of the current billing period and can undo the cancellation before that period ends.

If you believe your subscription ended because of an error, contact Support so we can review it.
