I wonder who came up with the $200/month idea, and what was running in their mind.
$200/month = $2400/year
We (consumers/enterprises) are already accustomed to a baseline price. Their model quality will be caught up or exceeded by open-source in ~6 months. So if I find it difficult to justify paying $20/month, why should I even think about $200/month.
Probably the thought process was that we can package all the great things (text, voice, video, images) and experience. The problem is that very few people use everything. Most of the time, the use cases are limited. Someone wants to use for coding, while someone else (artist) wants to use for Sora. OpenAI had an opportunity to introduce a la carte pricing, and then go to bundling. My hypothesis is that they will have very few takers at $200 for the bundle.
Enterprises - did they interview enterprises enough to see if they need user licenses for the bundles? Maybe they will give it at 80% or 90% discount to drive adoption.
Disclosure:
I am on Claude, Grok 2/X Pro, Cursor Personal, and Github Copilot enterprise. My ChatGPT monthly subscription expires in a week, and I will not renew for now and see the user vibes before deciding. I have limited brain power to multitask between so many models, and I will rather give a chance to Gemini Pro for 6 months.
- Horffupolde 2y agoWhen compared to an employee $200 is peanuts.
