What OpenAI Developers Announced
Starting today, eligible ChatGPT Pro and Business subscribers can claim up to $500 per month in API credits to build apps and agents.
OpenAI Developers framed the offer as a monthly claim for people who already pay for ChatGPT Pro or ChatGPT Business. The stated use is building apps and agents, so the credits sit on the API side of the account rather than inside ordinary chat.
Availability is still narrow. No public build, download, or official product page has been published. What exists so far is the October 28, 2026 announcement and a short preview. If you are checking for a dedicated signup page, there is not one to open yet.
How the Monthly Amounts Break Down
The ceiling in the announcement is $500 per month, and the tier list underneath it is more specific. ChatGPT Pro is associated with three monthly credit levels: $100, $200, or $500. ChatGPT Business is listed per seat at $20 or $100, and a Business workspace is capped at $500 even if many seats would add up to more.
OpenAI has not published which Pro subscription maps to $100, $200, or $500, or which Business seats receive $20 versus $100. Treat those figures as the announced menu, and wait for the billing screen to show the amount attached to your own plan.
| Subscriber type | Monthly API credits |
|---|---|
| ChatGPT Pro | $100, $200, or $500 |
| ChatGPT Business | $20 or $100 per seat |
| Business workspace | Capped at $500 |
Claiming Credits and What Is Still Open
The claim path described with the announcement is inside billing settings: link your API organization, then take the credits. That is the whole published flow. There is no separate app, download, or open-weight release attached to this offer, and there is no public pricing page beyond the amounts named above.
Several practical details are still unstated. The announcement limits the offer to eligible Pro and Business subscribers and does not define eligibility further. It also does not say whether unused credits roll over, which API products the balance can pay for, or how the credits compare with buying API usage on its own. Until a public page fills those gaps, the safe reading is a monthly claim of up to $500 for apps and agents, sized by the Pro or Business figures above, and collected only after the API organization is linked in billing.
- Where you claim
Billing settings, after you link the API organization that should receive the credits.
- What the credits are for
Building apps and agents, as OpenAI Developers stated in the announcement.
- What you should not assume
Rollover, model coverage, and the exact Pro or Business tier for each dollar amount are not specified yet.
