|---|---|---|---|
| Plans | Free Free Trying Devin Desktop as an editor. | IndividualOur pick Free Trying agent-based coding without paying. | Free Free A quick look at what it can do. |
ProOur pick $20/mo Individuals who want the editor and the cloud agent. | Google AI Pro $19.99/mo People who already have or want the Google AI Pro bundle. | Go $8/mo Occasional light tasks. | |
Max $200/mo Heavy users running agents most of the day. | Google AI Ultra From $99.99/mo Developers who want Antigravity as a daily driver. | PlusOur pick $20/mo Anyone who already pays for ChatGPT. | |
Teams $80/mo plus $40 per developer seat Teams of up to 200 who want shared sessions and admin. | Business (via Google Cloud) From $30/seat/mo Companies already on Google Cloud. | Pro From $100/mo Developers who hit the Plus limits. | |
Enterprise Custom Large companies with security requirements. | Business $20/user/mo billed yearly, or $25 monthly Teams of 2 or more. | ||
Enterprise Custom Large organisations. | |||
| Which plan to pick | Pro at $20 is the place to start, and it is the only sensible way to try the cloud agent. Watch your quota for the first fortnight, and use cheaper models for routine jobs before deciding whether Max or Teams is worth it. | Start on the free Individual tier; it is the whole point. If you hit the weekly limits and you also use Gemini for other things, Google AI Pro at $19.99 is a sensible step. Ultra only makes sense for full-time developers. | If you already have ChatGPT Plus, you have Codex: just try it. If you are choosing between this and Claude Code with no existing subscription, Plus at $20 and Claude Pro at $20 cost the same, so pick whichever chat assistant you prefer. If you outgrow Plus, Pro starts at $100 and has no five-hour limit for now. The $200 tier gives new subscribers less usage than it used to, and Ultrafast mode is only on the $500 tier. |
