Our take

Score 4 out of 5How we score

Codex is OpenAI's coding agent, and for most people it is already paid for: it comes with ChatGPT Plus and above. That makes it the cheapest way into a serious coding agent if you already use ChatGPT, but the limits are counted in a shared credit pool that is hard to predict.

Pick this tier: Plus

Plus gives full access to the Codex CLI, IDE and cloud agents with the current models. Upgrade to Pro only if you run long agent sessions every day and keep hitting the five-hour window.

What works

  • Included with ChatGPT Plus, Pro and Business rather than sold separately
  • Works in the terminal, the IDE, the cloud and on iOS
  • Automatic code review and a Slack integration on Plus
  • Business adds SSO, admin controls and no default training on business data

What to watch

  • Usage is drawn from a credit pool shared with other ChatGPT agent features
  • Message allowances are published as wide ranges, not fixed numbers
  • The Pro-only research-preview model is not available through the API

Skip it if

  • You do not write or maintain code
  • You need a hard, predictable monthly usage cap for budgeting
  • Your team has standardised on another coding agent and model provider
