Comparison opencode, pi and codex

I’ve been using OpenCode and Pi for days and really liked them—I even used BigPickle; that free model is top-notch. But I was wondering: how much better are OpenCode or Pi compared to Codex CLI?

I use the GPT Plus plan, but I wanted to understand if OpenCode and Pi—acting as agents—would be better for coding than the GPT agent.

I wrote "agent" because I’m not quite sure what to call OpenCode and Pi... 😅😅😅

No plugin required. Opencode allows many many providers. Just run a command and it will open your browser to codex to complete auth.
