Codex for teams: your options compared

• Most teams: ChatGPT Business. $20 per user a month billed yearly, Codex included, with Codex cloud, GitHub code review, Slack and Linear^{1, 3, 4}.
• Larger companies: ChatGPT Enterprise for SCIM, role-based access and audit logs through the Compliance API^{1, 5}.
• Usage billing without seats: an API key, but only in the CLI, SDK and IDE extension, with no cloud features¹.
• Codex in CI: the open-source CLI and the Codex GitHub Action^{6, 8}.
• Leverage Computer if your team runs Codex and Claude Code every day and wants to run more of both at once: shared sessions, work that keeps going with laptops closed and starts from webhooks or schedules, and rules on every tool call^{9, 10, 17, 11}.

1. What's included. Local, cloud and integrations such as GitHub review, Slack and Linear.
2. Admin controls. SSO, SCIM, roles and audit logs.
3. Billing. Seats, shared credits or API usage.
4. Where tasks run and whether teammates can follow the work.

ChatGPT Business: the default for most teams

Strengths

• "ChatGPT Work and Codex are included", and "share usage"¹.
• Codex cloud gives each task "its own workspace" that "can keep working while your computer is asleep", and can open pull requests³.
• Request reviews with @codex review on GitHub; start work from Slack or Linear^{4, 13, 14}.
• Business and Enterprise "can purchase credits for more access"².

Weaknesses

• Slack delegation needs "a published environment shared with the workspace", set up by an owner or admin¹³.
• SCIM, role-based access and audit logs are Enterprise features¹.

Price. Standard seat $20 per user a month billed yearly, $25 monthly, from 2 users^{1, 2}. A Premium seat with "more usage than Standard, with no 5-hour limit" is also offered².

ChatGPT Enterprise: for companies that need SCIM and audit

Strengths

• Adds "SCIM, EKM, user analytics, domain verification, and role-based access control" and "Audit logs and usage monitoring via the Compliance API"¹.
• Admins choose who can use Codex locally or in the cloud and who manages shared environments⁵.

Weaknesses

• "Codex Cloud is off by default for Enterprise workspaces"⁵.
• Pricing through sales¹.

Price. Contact sales¹.

Codex with an API key: for usage-based billing

Strengths

• "Pay for Codex usage based on API pricing"¹.

Weaknesses

• "No cloud-based features (GitHub code review, Slack, etc.)"¹.
• Codex cloud requires signing in with ChatGPT⁷.

Price. API pricing¹.

Codex CLI and GitHub Action: for automation in CI

Strengths

• The CLI is open source under Apache-2.0⁶.
• The openai/codex-action@v1 Action can "run Codex in CI/CD jobs, apply patches, or post reviews"⁸.

Weaknesses

• Each run lives in your CI logs, so the team has no shared place to follow it.

Price. Free to install; usage comes from your ChatGPT plan or API key^{6, 7}.

Leverage Computer: for teams that run Claude Code or Codex every day and want to run much more of it

We make Leverage Computer. This section uses our own public pages, and it says where Leverage Computer does not fit.

Leverage Computer runs Codex, Claude Code and Grok Build sessions side by side in one workspace. Each session gets its own VM with a terminal, a browser and a persistent disk^{9, 10}.

Strengths

• Use your ChatGPT plan. Connect ChatGPT, Claude or Grok plans, or API keys, and pool several accounts⁹.
• Every harness gets the same files, memory, skills and connected apps⁹.
• Multiplayer. Teammates can watch, steer, queue or stop a session¹⁵.
• Approvals. Reads run; sends, deletes and deploys wait for a person by default¹¹.
• Your own environments. Set variables and secrets and pick them per space or session. A secret can be added to HTTPS headers by the network, so its value never enters the VM¹⁰.
• PR Auto-fix. Turn it on for a pull request, and the agent fixes failed checks, answers review comments and resolves merge conflicts until it is merged or closed¹⁶.

Where Leverage Computer is the wrong choice

• Your team only uses Codex and is happy in ChatGPT. Business already includes Codex cloud, GitHub review, Slack and Linear^{1, 4}.
• You need SCIM or a compliance API today. ChatGPT Enterprise lists them¹. Leverage Computer is built for startups and does not offer them yet.
• Self-hosting. Leverage Computer does not offer it.

Price. $0.50 per agent hour on Standard. AI from your own plan or key, or credits at the provider's cost plus 20%¹².
