The new Pro plan
Here’s what the new Pro plan offers:
🚀 Advanced Models: Access to the latest AI models, including o1 pro.
🔓 No restrictions: Offers unlimited usage of all features and models.
The Facts
➡️ 10x the cost of the standard plan, but offers Advanced AI models like GPT-o1 Pro and Unlimited usage.🚀
➡️ Adoption is less than 10% of users, according to various sources.
➡️ OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admitted that no pricing study was conducted, he just picked a number that felt right.😟 The plan is currently unprofitable.
The DEBATE
➡️ Critics: Pricing without proper research and preparation is reckless. Limited traction and no profitability = a flop. No CEO should single-handedly decide pricing so lightly.
➡️ Supporters: It’s a niche product for heavy users, so low adoption is expected. In fast-moving AI markets, trial and error is the strategy. This could also prep customers for price increases on other plans.
My TAKE
💡 OpenAI is leading the AI pricing discussion but missed opportunities to validate and refine their approach.
👉 Here’s what they could’ve done better:
✔ Involve the CEO in pricing strategy, but don’t let him decide alone and without facts.
✔ Conduct a quick pricing study – 1 to 2 months would’ve been enough to gain insights.
✔ Pilot the plan with a smaller user base before a full-scale launch.
