Hello OpenAI Team,
I really appreciate the amazing work OpenAI has done with ChatGPT! I have a suggestion that I believe would be beneficial for both users and OpenAI.
Currently, ChatGPT Plus is only available as a monthly subscription ($20 per month, totaling $240 per year). However, many users would prefer long-term subscription options with discounts for committing to an annual or multi-year plan.
Suggested Pricing Plans with Discounts:
| Plan | Regular Price | Proposed Discounted Price | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Plan | $20/month ($240 per year) | No change | - |
| 1-Year Plan | $240 | $180 ($15/month) | 25% off |
| 2-Year Plan | $480 | $300 ($12.50/month) | 37.5% off |
| 3-Year Plan | $720 | $400 ($11.11/month) | 44% off |
| Lifetime Plan | N/A | $1,000 (one-time payment) | Huge savings over time |
Benefits:
Encourages long-term commitment by reducing the hassle of monthly renewals
Makes ChatGPT Plus more affordable for users willing to subscribe for a longer period
Helps OpenAI retain users and increase revenue stability
Reduces reliance on third-party discount services like GoingBus
Many other online services (e.g., VPNs, streaming platforms, software licenses) offer discounted yearly and multi-year plans. Would OpenAI consider introducing annual or multi-year ChatGPT Plus memberships with discounts?
Thank you for considering this!
