  • “ChatGPT Plus Family Plan – Affordable Family Access, Privacy & Inclusive Education. Dear OpenAI Team and Community, As a satisfied and very active ChatGPT Plus subscriber from Belgium, I would like to propose the introduction of a ChatGPT Plus Family subscription . I believe this could become a valuable addition to OpenAI’s subscription offerings, benefiting both families and OpenAI itself. 1. The problem with individual subscriptions In our household, ChatGPT is already an important part of everyday life. Personally, I use ChatGPT extensively for technical projects, research, troubleshooting, administrative tasks, and many other activities. My partner, on the other hand, only uses ChatGPT occasionally. While she would benefit from premium features, purchasing a second full-price Plus subscription for such limited use is difficult to justify. This creates a gap between the free subscription and purchasing several individual Plus subscriptions. Other digital services, such as Apple’s Family Sharing, have successfully addressed similar situations by allowing families to share subscription benefits while maintaining individual accounts. Why couldn’t ChatGPT offer a comparable solution”

  • “Feature Request — A Mid-Tier Individual Plan Between ChatGPT Plus and Pro 100. Dear OpenAI Product Team, I would like to suggest introducing an intermediate individual subscription tier between ChatGPT Plus and Pro 100, ideally around £50–£60 per month. The prices currently shown to me in the UK are £19.99/month for Plus and £88.90/month for Pro 100. That is a substantial jump. My regular use increasingly stretches my Plus allowance, but Pro 100 appears to offer more capacity than I realistically need. I would be very willing to subscribe long-term to a plan between the two. This gap is already affecting how I use ChatGPT. I sometimes ration usage, postpone conversations or exploratory work, or consider purchasing additional credits because I am concerned about exhausting my allowance. Moving directly to Pro 100, however, would mean a much larger recurring expense for capacity I may not fully use. An intermediate plan offering materially more usage than Plus would therefore be very welcome. Roughly three times the practical usage I currently get would probably suit my needs well, although I recognise that allowances vary by model and feature, and that the exact balance would depend”
