How to Access OpenAI Codex for Free
TheOyinbooke · x · 2026-07-16
This post introduces the available formats for OpenAI Codex: it can be accessed via ChatGPT, CLI, IDE integrations, desktop clients, and the web.
The author mentions that the free ChatGPT plan includes limited Codex access, but OpenAI has not publicly disclosed the exact free message cap, meaning quotas may fluctuate. It is recommended to use it for small, well-defined tasks rather than expecting it to generate a complete app in one go.
