OpenAI is quietly testing a new ChatGPT subscription tier called Pro Max that would cost $500 a month, according to code references and screenshots that started circulating this week. That's 25 times the price of the $20 ChatGPT Plus plan, and more than double the $200 Pro tier OpenAI launched back in December 2024 .
Independent researcher Tibor Blaho was one of the first who spotted the changes in a series of hidden logs.

Leak tracker TestingCatalog followed with another confirmation. He didn't have a price yet. That came a bit later when a user responded with a screenshot of the logs showing a price of $500 per month.
