A catalog of ChatGPT & Codex plugins, sorted by people.
ModelPlan vs Aptly
Two Usage & Quotas tools whose own descriptions overlap (shared terms: effort, recommends, reasoning, model). Here's what each project says it does and the public numbers, side by side, so you can pick one in a minute instead of reading two READMEs.
| ModelPlan | Aptly | |
|---|---|---|
| What it says it does | Recommends which AI coding model, reasoning effort and plan to use, from live public data, inside Codex, Claude Code and the terminal via plugins, a skill and a CLI. | Local MCP server and hook that recommends the right model and reasoning effort for Codex and Claude Code subagents, powered by the OpenAI Decisions API. |

Who each one suits
ModelPlan, if…
- You use Codex or Claude Code: the project's own description or install command targets it.
- You want something you install yourself; the install command doesn't point at a hosted endpoint.
- You need a permissive license (MIT) for work or commercial use.
- You want a project that's actively being worked on right now.
Aptly, if…
- You use Codex or Claude Code: the project's own description or install command targets it.
- You need a permissive license (MIT) for work or commercial use.
- You want a project that's actively being worked on right now.
- You're happy to be an early user of a small project.
So which one?
We haven't run both, so we won't crown a winner. Use the list above to rule one out, then read its README and recent commits before installing. Anything that runs commands on your machine deserves a look at the code.
