Guides · Claude Code and Codex for teams

# Claude Code guides for teams

These guides answer what a team asks before it runs Claude Code and Codex for more than one person: what it costs, what can stop a session, how to see usage per person, where the keys and the data go, and how to run other models. The comparisons put Selan beside the tools a team weighs it against, and each says where the other tool is the better answer.
