I would bet a fair amount of money that they will not raise prices. It is better for OpenAI to be a utility that is used by a million companies.

This protects end-users against price gouging and lock-in, and contributes to healthy competition -- this serves as a positive motivational force for service providers like ClosedAI et. al. to keep improving and adding novel functionality.
