OpenAI to Offer AI Agents at $20,000 Monthly, Reports Suggest

OpenAI plans to charge up to $20,000 a month for specialized AI agents, according to information shared with investors, as reported by The Information.

The publication indicates that the startup intends to launch several “agent” products designed for various applications, such as software development or sorting sales proposals.

An agent described as a “high-income knowledge worker” will cost $2,000 a month. The price for a software developer assistant will be $10,000.

The most expensive assistant, priced at $20,000, is intended to support “PhD-level research,” The Information reports. The company believes that AI assistants will offer significant value and justify their cost.

The launch timeline for the new service and potential clients remain unknown. Earlier, SoftBank committed to spending $3 billion on OpenAI products in 2025.

At the time of writing, the most expensive ChatGPT Pro subscription costs $200 a month. It provides unlimited access to all the startup’s neural networks and their features, including an enhanced voice mode and a reasoning-oriented AI model o1.

Last year, the company’s losses reached $5 billion due to high expenses for training and maintaining artificial intelligence.

In October 2024, OpenAI raised $6.6 billion at a valuation of $157 billion.

In February 2025, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers rejected Elon Musk’s request to prohibit the conversion of OpenAI into a commercial organization.
