Google cut its AI Plus subscription price from $7.99 to $4.99 per month while doubling included storage from 200GB to 400GB. The move brings the pricing pressure already visible in markets like India — where OpenAI launched ChatGPT Go at $4.60 last August — directly to U.S. consumers.

OpenAI announced a $100 per month ChatGPT Pro subscription tier offering five times more Codex usage than its existing $20 Plus plan. The move directly challenges Anthropic's Claude Code, which generated over $2.5 billion in run-rate revenue in February with 100%+ growth since the start of 2026. Codex now has three million weekly active users.
