PLANS AND PRICESnone published as tiers
The nightly cannot reach this page: openai.com returns 403 to our user agent. That is a fact about our access, not about OpenAI’s tiers. They publish them, we cannot read them, and guessing at the figures would be worse than this gap.

Rank 1 is placed first because it is the bundled default where a tool has one, not because it was measured highest. This board on the console.
