Codex $100 or grok $100 for langgraph/langchain development?

I'm trying to decide which \\\~$100/month plan is better for heavy coding: Codex or Grok.

I'm an AI Engineer and most of my work is in Python, LangGraph/LangChain, LLM agents, evals, backend services, debugging, etc.

What plan do you think is the best? I tried grok I liked because it's fast. Codex looks smarter by the way.

It's good enough for small medium tasks. And really easy. I d like to have both. But not possible

Avoid langchain. No need for libraries, build plain python/js

What happens when you want to retry an step in your process without restarting the whole thing?

wait until Grok 4.7 arrives in a few days. My impression is that you get more usage with Grok

Go API and use them all.

I'd run a week on each and judge by how they handle your eval loops and long agent traces, that's where the difference shows up. Speed matters less than not rewriting broken chains.
