Individual and team plans use pay-as-you-go credit billing with zero markup on provider API costs. Paid subscription tiers (Megawatt at $20/mo, Gigawatt at $200/mo) bundle agent usage and orb hours. Enterprise plans include a 50% markup and custom pricing. A free tier exists but is currently capacity-gated and closed to new signups.
Best for
Teams working on large, complex repositories who prefer consumption-based pricing over flat per-seat subscriptions.
Not ideal for
Organizations requiring air-gapped or self-hosted deployments, or teams needing highly predictable, flat-rate monthly budgeting.
Amp is a powerful, agent-first tool that excels at complex, multi-step coding tasks, though its usage-based pricing and lack of a polished IDE experience compared to competitors like Cursor may be a barrier for some users.
Recent updates include the introduction of shared runners for team-wide agent execution, self-updating runner capabilities, and the ability for runners to serve multiple directories simultaneously.
