OpenAI DevDay in plain english (read before you pay $500) ok so OpenAI dropped 20+ things at DevDay today (Sept 29) most people are gonna see "$500 plan" and either panic or pull out their card don't do either yet. here's everything that actually matters, simple version the money stuff first - Plus: $20/mo. now gets GPT-6.1 Sol in Work and Codex, cloud coding, and you can use your plan inside some partner apps. if you're learning to build, start here and only upgrade when a real limit gets in your way - Pro 100: $100/mo. less usage than Pro 200, no Ultrafast - Pro 200: $200/mo. open to new people again, but new subs get a smaller allowance than the old deal - Pro 500: $500/mo. the new one. 25x the Plus usage and the only individual plan with Ultrafast catch: each model can have its own limits, so "25x" doesn't mean 25x of everything the Pro 200 catch (if you already pay for it) existing subs keep the old allowance through Oct 29, then it drops. same $200 price The Next Web reports Work and Codex goes from 20x Plus to 10x, and GPT-6 Pro chats from 200 to 100 a week same report says existing subs get a one time $2,500 in usage credits that expire end of 2026. that's usage credit, not cash, and not forever. check your account email for the real terms also buying extra credits on Pro 100 or 200 does NOT unlock Ultrafast that's the real story. not the $500 headline. same price, less usage teams (quick) Business Standard is $25 per person a month ($20 billed yearly) Business Premium is $125 ($100 billed yearly), 2 seat minimum, and you can mix seat types Premium gets 5x Standard and it's the tier getting Dots. if only one person on your team needs the big tier, mix seats instead of upgrading everyone these prices aren't new btw, just context Dots: the one I'd test first think of it like the difference between asking someone for a content plan and hiring an assistant whose job is keeping that plan updated a dot is an always on agent (runs on GPT-6 Astra) with its own cloud computer, browser, and your connected apps. it keeps working without you directing every step
