OpenAI offers two months free Codex to poach Claude defectors

May 14, 2026 | alex | Anthropic, OpenAI | 146 views 0 comments

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that for the next 30 days, any business considering a switch to Codex will get two free months of full enterprise access.

The timing is surgical. On the same day, rival Anthropic decoupled third-party agent tool calls from Claude subscriptions, essentially reducing the value of the subscription and drawing community complaints of a backdoor rate cut.

Last month, OpenAI already eliminated seat fees for Codex commercial. Now, as a competitor tightens usage limits, they're offering a zero-cost trial to poach enterprise teams rattled by the price hike. Businesses can apply through OpenAI's website or use partner promo codes (e.g., from Stripe Atlas).
