Background
OpenAI currently offers ChatGPT Pro at $200/month as its most expensive individual subscription plan. According to internal documents, OpenAI plans to increase the price of its ChatGPT Plus subscription to $44/month by 2029, though this is not their premium tier offering.
Resolution Criteria
This market will resolve based on the highest-priced ChatGPT subscription plan available to individual users (not enterprise/business accounts) as of December 31, 2030. The price will be determined by:
Official pricing listed on OpenAI's website or official announcements
The standard monthly rate (not promotional or discounted prices)
Prices in USD
Individual consumer plans only (not business/enterprise plans)
If ChatGPT/OpenAI:
Ceases to exist
No longer offers paid individual subscription plans
Merges with another company but continues offering similar services under a different brand
The market will resolve to the corresponding option.
Considerations
The AI market is rapidly evolving and pricing models could change significantly by 2030
Competition from other AI companies could influence OpenAI's pricing strategy
Technological advances may lead to dramatically different service offerings and pricing structures
OpenAI's business model and ownership structure could change, affecting pricing strategies
Current pricing trends and internal documents only provide limited insight into potential 2030 pricing
