Estimated for ChatGPT Pro 5x, one pass of our fixed task set fits about 430 tasks a week with GPT-6 Astra. At $100/month, that is $0.053 per task on GPT-6 Astra. We have not graded a run on ChatGPT Pro 5x itself. The figures scale the ChatGPT Plus measurement by the provider's advertised multiples.Measured

Estimated from ChatGPT Plus
We have not run on ChatGPT Pro 5x itself: the figures scale the ChatGPT Plus measurement by OpenAI's advertised usage multiples (1x for ChatGPT Plus, 5x for ChatGPT Pro 5x), per chatgpt.com/pricing retrieved 2026-09-05. Estimates, never measured numbers.

Approx. cost is the listed monthly price spread over the work a month of the plan's usage windows fits at the measured share, per task; the plan bills a flat month, not per task. Tasks a week multiplies the passes the weekly limit holds by the 19 tasks in a pass; a meter that read under 1% gives a floor, not a figure.
