The short version
Codex is the right starting point if more software shipped per hour is your job and the published terms suit you. If you need a different platform mix (not stated), a lower entry price, or an open licence you can self-host, start with Lovable or Aider. Every claim behind those statements is on the individual pages, with its source and check date.
