OpenAI pricing
OpenAI does not publish machine-readable pricing and has a free tier, with self-serve signup.
Verify on the vendor's own page before you commit spend.
No structured plans recorded. OpenAI may quote on request, which means an agent cannot work out the cost of a call before making it.
Can an agent buy this on its own?
A price is only half the question. The other half is whether software can get from landing on the site to making a paid call without a person, which is what the AgentReady measures under adopt.
For OpenAI, it can create an account itself.
Against that, a sales call gates access; credentials must be minted by hand in a dashboard. Each of those is a point where an unattended run stops and waits for a human.
That works out to 88/100 on adopt, against 72/100 overall.
