Free, or $20/mo to start
Amp is for a repo you want an agent to work on in parallel, including while your laptop is closed, people who already pay for ChatGPT or Claude and want to use that subscription inside an agent, and developers who can review agent output and do not need a hosted app builder. The cheapest paid plan the ranking counts is Megawatt at $20/mo.
A coding agent you can run free on your own machine, or in Amp's cloud.
Amp is a coding agent you use on the web, in the Mac and iOS apps, or in the terminal. Hobby is free when you bring a model subscription or key and run on your own computer. Amp's cloud machines, called orbs, are pay-as-you-go on Hobby. Megawatt is $20 a month for 45,000 orb minutes and $20 of Amp credits. Gigawatt is $200 a month for 480,000 orb minutes and $200 of credits. A team workspace has no extra fee. Students and teachers can get Megawatt for $10, and that price is not the general floor.
Individual plans marked for budget matching can change the quiz. Team plans are listed so you can see them, and they do not decide a beginner's rank. Verify means confirm the live page before you quote or pay.
Individual
Free
VerifiedAll product features. No monthly fee. Pay-as-you-go orbs, or your own runners at no Amp charge. Linked ChatGPT, Claude, and other subscriptions, and bring-your-own-key, with no Amp token fees or limits. No included orb minutes and no included Amp credits.
The Hobby card is on ampcode.com/pricing. Standard orb rates, if you do use cloud machines, are on the orb sizes page and start at $0.08 an hour for a1.tiny.
Individual
$20/mo
Verified45,000 minutes of orb time and $20 of Amp credits, then more credits at provider list price. Unlimited public and private repositories, and your own portal domains. Soft hosting limits on the card are 1 GB of repository storage and 10 GB of monthly transfer.
This is the Individual price shown on the default pricing tab. Included usage does not roll over. The $20 of credits is the amount the pricing card prints for this tier.
Individual
$10/mo
VerifiedThe same Megawatt allowance, at $10 a month for students and teachers. The pricing card shows $10 of included Amp credits when the education discount is applied.
The pricing FAQ says students and teachers can get Megawatt for $10 per month. Left out of budget matching so a general under-$10 question cannot be won by a discount most readers cannot buy.
Individual
$200/mo
Verified480,000 minutes of orb time, which is the Gigawatt tab's minute figure, and $200 of Amp credits. The underlying allowance is 1,000 hours of a1.xxlarge. a1.3xlarge orbs are limited to Gigawatt and Enterprise. Soft hosting limits are 10 GB of repository storage and 100 GB of monthly transfer.
The $200 price is the Gigawatt tier on ampcode.com/pricing. The default tab is Megawatt, so the $200 card is the other Individual tab. A note on the orb details says 10× limits for Gigawatt.
Team
No extra charge
VerifiedA workspace has no extra fee. Members can be on Hobby, Megawatt, or Gigawatt. Shared threads, billing, and pooled credits. SAML or OIDC SSO needs at least one member on a paid tier.
Not an individual plan. People still pay for their own paid tier, if they have one.
Team
Custom
VerifyPooled credits, no paid user seats, SCIM, spend limits, audit logs, and higher quotas. The public pages do not print a dollar price. Enterprise is the tier Amp excludes from the no-token-fee promise.
No published price, so this row stays Verify and out of budget matching. Contact Amp for the number.
Included Megawatt and Gigawatt usage resets at the end of the monthly billing period and does not roll over. Purchased credits expire 12 months after you buy them. A paused orb costs nothing. Amp pauses an idle orb 5 minutes after the agent stops, or 20 minutes after your last interaction, whichever is later.
Amp is for a repo you want an agent to work on in parallel, including while your laptop is closed, people who already pay for ChatGPT or Claude and want to use that subscription inside an agent, and developers who can review agent output and do not need a hosted app builder. It is not great for a no-code landing page or a hosted app from a form, a free month of Amp-paid model usage (Hobby includes neither orb minutes nor Amp credits), native mobile apps and games, and anyone budgeting the $10 education price without being a student or teacher.
The individual plans that can change the quiz are Hobby (Free), Megawatt ($20/mo), and Gigawatt ($200/mo). The cheapest paid plan the ranking counts is Megawatt at $20/mo. Team plans and other rows on this page do not decide a beginner's rank.
The Hobby plan is Free. Free to Amp if you bring your own model subscription or key and run on your own machine. Cloud orbs are pay-as-you-go. Hobby includes no orb minutes and no Amp credits.

Amp pauses an idle orb 5 minutes after the agent stops, or 20 minutes after your last interaction, whichever is later. On Hobby, use your own runner if the bill you are avoiding is orb time. Model limits on a linked ChatGPT or Claude subscription are that vendor's cap, not an Amp cap.
Fitbuild scores Amp 1 out of 5 for someone who does not want to read code. You are starting threads against a project and reading what the agent did. This is not a no-code builder.
Free tier in one line: Free to Amp if you bring your own model subscription or key and run on your own machine. Cloud orbs are pay-as-you-go. Hobby includes no orb minutes and no Amp credits.
