Code suggests ChatGPT might be testing weekly and lifetime subscriptions.
This could offer more flexible payment options for users, especially those looking for an annual discount or a lower starting price.
Annual billing for ChatGPT Plus may also be on the horizon.

ChatGPT has become a staple part of several people’s routines, to the point that many of us happily pay for the ChatGPT Plus monthly subscription. However, at $20 per month for the digital AI assistant, there is no denying that it is fairly steep, even though it brings a lot of value. There’s room for OpenAI to explore more subscription tiers, either with annual billing options that could save users money in the long term or weekly duration options that lower the barrier of entry. OpenAI seems to be doing all that, and then some, as there are clues the company is working on Weekly and Lifetime subscriptions.
