Google Antigravity vs Kiro

A decision for a beginner, not a spec sheet. Scores are our weights. Prices are the public plans, and anything marked verify on the tool page should be re-checked before you pay.

The call

  • Google Antigravity: Desktop agent IDE and CLI. Kiro: Desktop IDE, CLI, and a paid web app for cloud sessions.
  • Neither tool is a clear no-code winner over the other. Read the skill scores before you decide on comfort.
  • Google Antigravity has the lower verified individual paid plan: Google AI Pro at $19.99/mo.
  • On the kind of project, these two are close. Budget and where you want to work should break the tie.

Pick Google Antigravity if you are trying an editor agent without a subscription.

Pick Kiro if you want a web app or automation you will keep in a repo and review as a diff.

Free

Individual

Free

Verified

50 credits a month. Claude Sonnet 4.5 and open-weight models such as Qwen3 Coder Next, DeepSeek 3.2, and MiniMax M2.1, with rate limits. No add-on credits. Kiro Web is not included.

Pro

Individual

$20/user/mo

Verified

1,000 credits a month. Premium models, including Auto, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Opus 5, where those models are available. Add-on credits at $0.04. Kiro Web uses the same credits.

Price is on kiro.dev/pricing. The credit count is on the billing docs. Prices exclude tax. A first upgrade with social login or Builder ID gets a $20 credit toward the subscription, prorated for the partial month.

Pro+

Individual

$40/user/mo

Verified

2,000 credits a month, with the same paid-plan model access and add-on credits as Pro.

Price on the pricing page. Credit count on the billing docs.

Pro Max

Individual

$100/user/mo

5,000 credits a month. The same feature set as Power, including specs, custom subagents, powers, and hooks.

Power

Individual

$200/user/mo

Verified

10,000 credits a month, the largest self-serve pool, plus add-on credits at $0.04.

Price on the pricing page. Credit count on the billing docs. AWS GovCloud is approximately 20% higher and has no free tier. That regional markup is not a separate dollar row here.

When Google Antigravity runs out

Free quota refreshes weekly. Google AI Pro refreshes every five hours until a weekly limit. Ultra refreshes every five hours and has the highest weekly limits. Prompt counts are not published because heavier tasks spend more quota.

On the free plan, wait for the weekly refresh. There is no credit overage.

When Kiro runs out

Plan credits renew at the start of the next billing cycle. Paid subscriptions are processed on the 1st of each calendar month. Unused plan credits do not roll over. Add-on credits, which are paid plans only, last 12 months.

On Free, wait for the monthly reset. Add-on credits cannot be bought on this tier, and Kiro Web is not included.

Questions people actually ask

Which is cheaper, Google Antigravity or Kiro?

Google Antigravity's cheapest paid plan the ranking counts is Google AI Pro at $19.99/mo. Kiro's cheapest paid plan the ranking counts is Pro at $20/user/mo.

Who is Google Antigravity for?

Google Antigravity is for trying an editor agent without a subscription, gemini-first coding on a weekly quota, and a $20-ish step up via Google AI Pro if the free week runs out.

Who is Kiro for?

Kiro is for a web app or automation you will keep in a repo and review as a diff, developers who want requirements and tasks written down before the agent edits, and a published monthly credit number, instead of an unpublished quota.

Which is a better fit if I do not want to read code, Google Antigravity or Kiro?

Google Antigravity scores 2 out of 5 for someone who does not want to read code. Kiro scores 2 out of 5. The scores are the same. Better than a pure terminal, and you are still in an IDE. Specs are written in plain language, and you still end up reading a diff. If code on screen is a dealbreaker, use a browser builder.

Do Google Antigravity and Kiro have free plans?

Google Antigravity: Free. Unlimited Tab completions and Command requests, Gemini models, and a weekly agent quota. The quota is not a published prompt count. It refreshes weekly, not every five hours. Kiro: 50 credits a month on the perpetual free tier, with Claude Sonnet 4.5 and open-weight models, subject to rate limits. Add-on credits are not available. Kiro Web is not on this plan.
