> Plus and Pro subscribers can authorize participating apps to use eligible plan allowances. The initial roster names 15 current partners, with Lovable listed as coming soon.

OpenAI announced a way for third-party tools to use eligible ChatGPT plan usage for AI requests, giving Plus and Pro subscribers another option for using their plan allowance outside OpenAI’s own apps.

Users must authorize each participating tool separately. Eligible requests count toward usage included with a subscriber’s ChatGPT plan, without requiring users to create or share an OpenAI API key. The plan-usage option is for Plus and Pro subscribers; anyone can use sign-in with participating apps, and open-source tools can connect for users on any plan.

The initial partner roster names 15 current tools: OpenCode, OpenClaw, Pi, T3, Hyperagent, Hermes Agent, Vorflux, Amp, Dactyl, Kilo Code, Warp, Conductor, Devin, Notion and Vercel. Lovable is listed as coming soon. Airtable, Canva, GitLab, HubSpot and Supabase support sign-in but are not listed as tools that can use a subscriber’s plan allowance.

Each app can set a weekly usage cap between 10% and 100% of the subscriber’s overall ChatGPT allowance. The cap limits that app’s use; it does not reserve a separate pool or increase the plan’s total usage. An app can hit its own cap while the subscriber still has allowance remaining.

When the overall allowance is exhausted, an app can use ChatGPT credits only if the subscriber has permitted credit use and set that app’s cap to 100%. Credit use is off by default. If automatic credit purchases are enabled, continued use can trigger charges, and users may not receive a notice when their included allowance runs out.

The plan allowance covers qualifying model requests, while some work can remain subject to a partner’s own charges. Dactyl, for example, uses its own credits for tasks such as compiling code and generating icons and 3D assets. Sign in with ChatGPT can provide participating apps with profile information such as a user’s name, email address and profile picture; conversations, memories, files and tokens are not independently shared.
