Direct answer
Choose a Weekly package for a short build sprint, hackathon, demo week, migration test, or endpoint fit check, and a Monthly package when usage repeats across the month. GPT-5.5 XHigh is $19/week or an eligible $59 first month followed by $69/month; GPT-5.6 Sol is an eligible $69 first week followed by $89/week, or a $179 first month followed by $199/month. All four advertised packages include unlimited token consumption with 4 concurrent connections and manual setup delivery.

When Weekly is enough
Weekly fits uncertain work: testing whether a client, editor, SDK, or agent can use the delivered base URL, API key, and model IDs without committing to a month.
It also works for hackathons and demo weeks where the calendar is the real constraint and the team can plan around 4 concurrent connections.
When Monthly is better
Monthly fits repeat usage: ongoing Codex CLI work, app builds, agency projects, endpoint testing, and repeated agent loops across several weeks.
Choose Monthly only when the workflow has passed small endpoint checks and the 4-connection boundary is enough for expected parallel work.
Verification checklist
Choose Weekly when the workload may end within a few days.
Choose Monthly when the workflow repeats across more than one sprint.
Allow 10 minutes to 5 hours for manual delivery before the work window starts.
Cap active API calls at 4 concurrent connections.
Use the package picker if the timeline is unclear.
Frequently asked questions
Is Weekly only for testing?
No. Weekly is useful for any short access window, including demos, hackathons, migration checks, client discovery, or focused coding sprints.
When should I start with Monthly?
Start with Monthly when you already know the delivered OpenAI-compatible setup fits your client and you expect repeated usage across the month.
Do Weekly and Monthly have different concurrency limits?
The public package boundary is the same: unlimited token consumption with 4 concurrent connections.
