Qwen Code vs Codex: Features, Pricing and User Reviews 2026

Qwen Code offers separate pricing for individuals and teams, all based on monthly credits rather than a free plan.

• Lite ($6/month): 2,500 credits every 7 days and the ability to run 1 to 2 agents at once.

• Standard ($18/month): 10,000 credits every 7 days, 4 times the credits of Lite, and 3 to 4 agents running together.

• Pro ($68/month): 40,000 credits every 7 days, 16 times the credits of Lite, and 6 to 8 agents at once.

Yearly billing lowers the cost on all three plans. For teams, seat based plans start at $20 per seat a month for Standard, $75 for Pro, and $200 for Max, each adding more monthly credits and access to models like GLM-5, MiniMax-M2.5, and DeepSeek-V3.2.

Codex is included as part of ChatGPT's plans, so pricing depends on which plan you choose.

• Free ($0/month): Limited access to Codex along with basic chat features.

• Go ($8/month): More messages, uploads, and memory, though Codex access stays limited.

• Plus ($20/month): Unlocks expanded Codex usage along with stronger models and more features.

• Business: Costs $20 per user a month billed yearly, or $25 monthly, with a minimum of two users, and includes full Codex access with admin tools.
