The OpenAI API Is Billed Separately
A ChatGPT subscription does not include API usage for your own apps. The OpenAI API is billed per token on its own account. Codex can also run with an API key at API rates, but cloud features such as GitHub code review and Slack are not included in that mode.

Can ChatGPT Build an App?
ChatGPT and Codex can plan and write code, but a finished iPhone app still needs building, signing and an App Store submission. See can ChatGPT build an app. As a disclosure, Superapp is our product, so weigh this accordingly. Superapp turns a plain-English description into a native Swift app for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or Mac, or a website or web app, and prepares the App Store submission. It does not build Android apps.
