OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman posted on X that Codex is "the best AI coding product" and that, for the next 30 days, companies interested in switching will get "two months of free Codex usage."
The offer appears aimed at lowering the barrier for teams that are already testing the tool or considering a move from competing coding systems. In a follow-up on the same post, one commenter characterized the move as a way to close an "enterprise adoption" gap, while others suggested the free period is meant to make Codex the default inside companies before procurement conversations slow things down.
Reaction on X was split. Some users welcomed the promotion as a practical way to try the product, with one commenter calling it a "smart" move for teams that want to adopt a coding assistant seriously. Others criticized the decision to focus on companies rather than individual developers, and a few questioned whether two months is enough time to evaluate long-term retention once the promotion ends.
OpenAI’s own developers account also replied to the post with "Saved you a click" and linked to the source material.
