OpenAI offers API credits to eligible ChatGPT subscribers
OpenAI launched a plan almost identical to Anthropic's: users on the $100, $200, or $500 subscription plans receive an equivalent amount of credits for one API organization under their name. Simon Willison, who holds subscriptions to both companies, said this change may lead him to publish some public-facing demos.

OpenAI Offers Up to $500 Monthly API Credit for ChatGPT Pro and Business
Starting October 28, 2026, OpenAI will provide eligible ChatGPT Pro and Business subscribers with up to $500 per month in API credits, usable for app and agent development. Pro's three monthly price tiers of $100, $200, and $500 correspond to credits of the same amount; Business accumulates at $20 per month per Standard seat and $100 per month per Premium seat, with a workspace-wide cap of $500. Annual Business plans receive up to $6,000 in credits for the full year at once, initially prorated based on the remaining days in the billing cycle, with unused portions expiring at the end of the period. These credits cannot be used to call Codex via API key, nor do they increase the usage limits of ChatGPT or the logged-in version of Codex; users must link an API organization in billing settings and enable it manually.
