Hey @dantispam2001, this is a really thoughtful suggestion and honestly a lot of folks have been hinting at the same gap. The pricing jump right now can feel pretty steep, especially if you’re using Codex or GPT daily but still working within a tighter budget. The point about accessibility in lower-income regions and comparisons to tools like Copilot also makes a lot of sense. I’ll pass this along as feedback to the team, especially the idea of a mid-tier plan in that $40–$50 range and how it could bring in more students, freelancers, and independent devs. Appreciate you laying it out so clearly. If others here are in the same boat, would be good to see more use cases in the thread too. -Mark G.
