OpenAI mirrors Anthropic's API credit boost for $100‑$500 ChatGPT plans
OpenAI now gives the same amount of expiring API credits as the subscription tier for eligible ChatGPT users.
OpenAI announced that subscribers to its $100, $200, and $500 ChatGPT plans will receive an equal number of expiring API credits.
The move matches a recent Anthropic offer that provides $100, $200, or $500 worth of credits each month to Max and Team plan users.
Credits can be applied to any organization within the subscriber’s OpenAI API account.
Simon Willison, who maintains subscriptions with both providers, said the alignment lets him run public demos without extra cost.
The benefit applies only to eligible ChatGPT subscriptions and does not affect other OpenAI pricing tiers.
