OpenAI adds consumption-based pricing to Codex for ChatGPT Business and Enterprise, removing the flat-fee barrier for team adoption.
OpenAI has introduced pay-as-you-go pricing for Codex, its AI coding agent, available to ChatGPT Business and Enterprise customers. Previously, access was tied to fixed subscription tiers, which limited experimentation and scaling flexibility. The new pricing model lets teams start small and scale usage based on actual consumption. No specific per-unit pricing has been publicly disclosed alongside this announcement.
The flat-fee barrier to Codex access is gone for Business and Enterprise teams. Developers inside orgs that previously couldn't justify a fixed seat cost can now get Codex provisioned on a usage basis. This lowers the internal procurement friction significantly — you no longer need to guarantee heavy utilization to justify the line item.
If your team is on ChatGPT Business or Enterprise, open the admin console this week and enable Codex pay-as-you-go — run it on a real PR review or code generation task and capture the token cost to baseline against your current tooling spend.
Suggested exercise · not independently tested. Access requirements and costs may vary.
Log into your ChatGPT Business or Enterprise admin console at chatgpt.com
Navigate to the Codex or usage settings and enable pay-as-you-go access for your workspace
Open a Codex session and paste this task: 'Refactor this function to handle null inputs gracefully and add unit tests: def divide(a, b): return a / b'
Note the token usage logged in the session — this is your per-task cost baseline
