OpenAI has significantly expanded capabilities for its paid ChatGPT users (Pro and Business). Subscribers now receive monthly API credits, which can be used to develop their own applications and agents.
These credits serve as a powerful incentive for developers, allowing them to build complex AI systems without paying for every individual API call. Pro plans can receive up to $500, and the corporate Business plans also receive a significant credit limit, strengthening the development ecosystem.
