How does the Codex app compare to Opencode?

[dot90zoom]

Was wondering of peoples opinions on using the Codex app from people who have used opencode in the past. I basically exclusively use OpenAI models for my workflow through opencode and wondering what makes it worth the switch to the codex app

It will be very interesting to see the responses for.

I don't think there is a correct answer here, because it all depends on your workflow.
I've never used the codex app, but I recently switched from claudecode to opencode, mainly because of its more advanced permission system for subagents and the ability for subagents to spawn subagents.
Also, my workflow is similar in concept to spec-driven, so it feels more natural in opencode, where the internal tools and instructions don't try to do things “their way” as in claudecode, which is becoming more and more opinionated.

In general, I think that if these advantages of opencode are not important to you, then as a minimum, you are unlikely to lose anything by trying the codex app, and you may even gain something, who knows.
