OpenAI added GPT-6 Astra to the Codex usage table: Plus 5-45 messages per window, Pro 5× 25-225 and Pro 20× 100-900. Its FAQ states Astra is included within the existing Codex allowance on the $100/$200 Pro plans and that Plus gets limited Astra usage. It is not offered on the $8 Go tier, which stays without it.

Common questions
Which OpenAI plan is cheapest?
OpenAI Go at $8/mo. The cheapest plan is not always the best value — compare Req/$1 in the calculator.
How many plans does OpenAI offer?
4 tiers tracked, 4 currently active. Every tier is in the plans table below with its price, models and usage ceiling.
What are the OpenAI plans?
OpenAI’s consumer tiers — Go, Plus and Pro — are subscriptions that unlock the GPT-5.x family across ChatGPT and the Codex coding product, at rising message ceilings.
Which models do the OpenAI plans include?
The tracked tiers list GPT-5.5 and the GPT-5.6 family: Sol (the flagship), the economy Luna tier and Terra. Go lists GPT-5.5; Plus and the Pro tiers add the GPT-5.6 models.
Can I use the OpenAI plans with any agent?
The consumer tiers are app-focused (ChatGPT / Codex), while the Codex CLI and API expose OpenAI-compatible access. Several BYOK routers also resell GPT-5.x models on TokenPlans.
How does OpenAI plan billing work?
Plans are message-capped usage-multiplier tiers rather than token budgets, so the calculator models them as price-as-budget with API list rates as a marked proxy for per-request cost.
Who are the OpenAI plans for?
Users who want the GPT-5.x family first-party across ChatGPT and Codex, including the lowest entry price of the major consumer flagships.
