GPT-5.5 Calculator — requests per $1

Every monthly plan that includes GPT-5.5, converted to requests per $1 at the model's typical request shape. Same engine as the main calculator — proxy estimates carry a ~ marker; coarse estimates carry ≈.

GPT-5.5 is OpenAI's previous flagship for agentic work — #11 (xHigh) on the LMArena agent leaderboard — still the core model on OpenAI's own Go tier and included on Plus, while the GPT-5.6 family (Sol as the current flagship) leads the higher tiers and is served by BYOK routers.

Markers: ~ proxy estimate and ≈ coarse estimate. Borrowed cap means the budget is a published API cap at list price, so Req / $1 is a value comparison rather than a measured allowance.

What real work costs

What GPT-5.5 costs on real coding tasks

Illustrative cost of common coding tasks on the best-priced plans above, scaled from each plan's live per-request price to a task-typical token volume. Task token assumptions are shared ~proxy estimates — real tasks vary, and they are never per-provider shapes.

Per-task cost = the plan's effective 50,010-token request price scaled to each task's token volume at the same shape mix. ~ = proxy estimate — shared task-token assumptions, not a quote. “n/a” = GPT-5.5 unpriced on that plan.

Common questions

How many requests per $1 do I get on GPT-5.5?

The best plan pricing GPT-5.5 delivers ~119 Req/$1 at the model's typical request shape — on CommandCode Pro. Figures are proxy confidence: they are computed from published rates and usage caps, proxy estimates are marked with a ~, and borrowed-cap plans use a published API cap at list price, so their Req/$1 is a value comparison rather than a measured allowance.

What's the cheapest plan with GPT-5.5?

OpenAI Go at $8/mo. The cheapest plan is not always the best value — check Req/$1 above.

What is GPT-5.5?

GPT-5.5 is OpenAI’s previous flagship for agentic work — a proprietary reasoning model for multi-step coding and agent tasks, succeeded by the GPT-5.6 family (Sol is OpenAI’s current flagship, Luna the economy Codex tier). It still ranks #11 on the LMArena agent leaderboard (xHigh config) and remains available on OpenAI’s own Go and Plus tiers as well as third-party routers.

Does OpenAI’s Go or Plus plan include GPT-5.5?

Yes — both OpenAI Go and OpenAI Plus list GPT-5.5. These are message-capped plans priced at list API rates rather than token-budget plans, so their per-dollar value figures are marked proxy. They are the first-party option if you want GPT-5.5 directly from OpenAI.

Is GPT-5.5 open-weight?

No — GPT-5.5 is a proprietary OpenAI model (family: openai, kind: text). Unlike GLM-5.3 (open-weight, self-hostable), GPT-5.5 is only available through provider endpoints — you cannot self-host it or access the model weights.

Can I use GPT-5.5 with any agent (BYOK)?

Yes — OpenAI’s own plans and several third-party routers expose GPT-5.5 through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint usable by any agent. Some plans (like Cursor) are IDE-locked, but there are plenty of open BYOK options with no CLI lock.

What kind of model is GPT-5.5?

GPT-5.5 is a proprietary text generation model (family: openai, kind: text) focused on agentic reasoning and coding.
