ChatGPT Pro
ChatGPT Pro costs $200 per month. Practitioners rate it C tier. The only way to get GPT-6 Astra's Pro reasoning and GPT-5.6 Sol, but it burns the weekly cap in about a day — usable mainly thanks to resets. It includes GPT-6 Astra, GPT-5.6 Sol.
Break-even: at current API prices, $200 buys about 5.0M tokens of metered GPT-6 Astra usage. Use less and the API is cheaper; use more and this plan wins — if the plan's limits allow it.
