Confronto direto · perfis verificados Sep 30, 2026
Pick GitHub Copilot for help inside the editor you already use and a cloud agent that opens pull requests, from $0 to $100 a month. Pick Codex if you already pay for ChatGPT and want one agent across CLI, IDE, desktop and web. Codex privacy terms and several limits could not be verified.
We wrote this from our own profiles of OpenAI Codex, verified 2026-09-29, and GitHub Copilot, verified 2026-09-30, both built from official vendor pages; we ran no benchmark, used no third-party tests and took no vendor payments.
Pick GitHub Copilot if you want completions and chat inside the editor you already use, plus a cloud agent that opens pull requests, with published prices from $0 to $100 a month for individuals. Pick Codex if you already pay for ChatGPT and want one coding agent across a CLI, an IDE extension, a desktop app and the web, or you want to run it in CI with an API key. Codex privacy terms and several limits could not be verified, so the privacy comparison leans on Copilot's documented terms. The two overlap: Copilot Pro+ can delegate tasks to Codex as a preview feature.
Based on our OpenAI Codex profile verified 2026-09-29 and GitHub Copilot profile verified 2026-09-30. Codex pricing page content, privacy terms, context window and sandbox details could not be confirmed, and no benchmark was run.

Copilot has the lower entry price among paid plans: Pro is $10/mo against $20/mo for ChatGPT Plus, which carries Codex on the CLI, IDE, web and iOS. Codex also has a $8/mo Go plan, but it lists the desktop app only. Both have a free plan. Neither price is a flat guarantee: Codex has usage limits per plan and Copilot meters chat and agents in AI credits.
Yes. A Free ChatGPT plan includes Codex, but only the desktop app is listed and usage limits apply. Free and Go plans have fewer surfaces than Plus.
Yes. Copilot Free gives 2,000 completions a month and a limited allowance of AI credits to individuals without an organization seat. Verified students get Copilot Student, and verified teachers and maintainers of popular open-source projects may get Pro free.
Not on Business or Enterprise. On Free, Pro and Pro+, prompts, suggestions and code snippets may be used for training unless you opt out in Copilot settings. For Codex we could not confirm training use or retention, because its privacy page returned a 404.
Both offer it, with different limits. Codex reviews connected GitHub repositories automatically on ChatGPT plans, not with an API key. Copilot reviews pull requests on GitHub and diffs in editors on paid plans only, and review draws on AI credits and, from 2026-06-01, GitHub Actions minutes. We ran no quality comparison.
Partly. Copilot lists delegating tasks to third-party agents, including OpenAI Codex, as a preview on Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise. Exact behavior was not tested.
Codex lists VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf extensions plus a CLI and desktop app. Copilot lists VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, Eclipse, Xcode and Neovim, with feature coverage differing by IDE.
