Thanks to the existence of a free version, Chatgpt is currently established as the assistant powered by the most popular AI in France and in the world. It is also possible to access advanced features via the Chatgpt Plus subscription, which costs 23 euros per month. This monthly rate, although offering certain advantages, is perceived by some as quite high and not very flexible. If Openai offers annual billing options, they are reserved for Chatgpt Team or Enterprise offers, and even the more expensive Chatgpt Pro subscription is only available with monthly invoicing.
However, recent clues suggest that Optai could explore new Chatgpt Plus subscription options, including weekly and even life. This information comes from an analysis of the code in the last Chatgpt build, as reported by the Android site Authority. User X M1 (@M1ASTRA) has spotted code channels, in the V1.2025.126 version of Chatgpt, indicating the potential arrival of new formulas: weekly, annual and life.

A subscription option weekly For Chatgpt Plus could seduce users who need to access advanced features only occasionally. This might particularly interest audiences such as students and young adults Who would especially need the AI assistant over shorter periods. A weekly subscription would also have the advantage of lowering the Price barrier to access the subscription more, because it should be cheaper than the monthly subscription (unless Optai increases its prices in general). Addition of invoicing annual For subscription Plus would also make sense for loyal users.
Is a lifetime subscription to Chatgpt, is it reasonable?
On the other hand, the idea of a subscription lifetime For Chatgpt Plus is enough to surprise. Openai should take into account the Future development costs IA technology and new features. This could make the price of this very high subscription. Although this may interest certain “IA fans”, the proposal could find it difficult to impose itself on the general public. In addition, the generative AI is constantly evolving and nothing indicates that Chatgpt will always be the leader in three, five or ten years. The future of Chatgpt, the evolution of its competitors and the very need for a long -term subscription are unknown factors.
Openai has not, for the moment, nothing formalized and the firm can still explore new ideas before taking the plunge. Nevertheless, the presence of these text channels in the code could be part of the context of OpenAi’s financial challenges. The company recently carried out significant fundraising, but continues to encounter difficulties in establishing a clear path to profitability. The losses are mainly awarded to the high costs of training and execution of advanced AI models, employee salaries and data. The introduction of potentially more expensive (such as a life subscription) or varied (weekly to attract more users) could be an answer to counter these losses.
Like Openai, Google could change its IA offers
Openai would not be the only giant of the AI to think about new subscriptions and the movement is also to be expected on the side of Google. The Mountain View group offers a Google One subscription with Gemini Advanced (21.99 euros/month) and could soon offer new offers. As it stands, there is no annual subscription for this offer and Google will have to make a decision that subject to the sharing of advantages included in its package. Currently, members with an AI Premium family package can benefit from temporary access to AI Premium features until June 30 at an additional cost. Chatgpt may be waiting for a movement of his rival before revealing new things.
