Subject: Suggestion for a Mid-Tier Pricing Plan for DALL·E Image Generation
Hello OpenAI Team,
I’ve been using DALL·E through ChatGPT and I absolutely love the capabilities it provides. However, I believe there’s an opportunity for OpenAI to reach an even wider audience while also increasing revenue through a mid-tier pricing option for image generation.
Currently, the £20/month subscription fee for unlimited image generation is quite steep for casual users who don’t need unlimited access but still want more than the 3 free images per day.
Here’s my suggestion:
Mid-tier pricing: A plan around £5–£10/month that offers a reasonable daily limit (such as 20 images/day or 100/month) would allow a larger portion of users to afford and subscribe.
More revenue: This approach could generate more overall income by attracting users who can’t justify the £20/month but are willing to pay for a reasonable number of generations.
Increased accessibility: It would open up the tool to hobbyists, educators, and smaller creators who use AI art casually but consistently.
Positive user experience: Offering this option would greatly improve user satisfaction and ensure that more people feel respected by the pricing model.
This would help users like me who don’t need unlimited generations but would love to pay for a manageable, affordable option. I hope OpenAI will consider offering this middle ground.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing others’ thoughts on this!
Best wishes
Andy Hall
