Pricing snapshot
Codex uses credit and token-based usage across eligible ChatGPT plans and team or enterprise configurations.
- Cost depends on model, tokens, cached inputs, task type, parallel agents, automations, fast mode, and workload; broad planning guidance around $100–$200/developer/month is a variable reference, not a fixed plan price.
