OpenAI is now offering API credits equivalent to subscription tiers for its $100, $200, and $500 ChatGPT plans, mirroring a similar benefit Anthropic announced earlier in October. The credits are expiring and applied to an API organization, effectively lowering costs for developers who already maintain premium subscriptions.
Background
OpenAI and Anthropic have been competing on both model capabilities and subscription value, with both companies recently adding perks to justify higher-tier chat subscriptions beyond basic conversational access.
