Which plan to pickPro is the sweet spot for an individual: cheap, unlimited autocomplete and enough credits for a few agent tasks a week. Only move to Pro+ if you find yourself buying extra credits every month.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.Start free. If the free models feel thin, OpenCode Go at $10 a month is the best-value upgrade in this category. Only add Zen or a Claude or OpenAI API key when you need a frontier model for a hard job, and set a spending cap when you do.

Pros and cons

AttributeGitHub CopilotGoogle AntigravityOpenCode
Pros
  • The cheapest paid plan in the category with unlimited autocomplete
  • Works inside the editors and the GitHub site you already use
  • Agent and code review are built into the GitHub workflow
  • Enterprise controls are mature because GitHub already had them
  • Free tier is good enough for real projects
  • Agent manager and verification artifacts make reviewing AI work easier
  • Browser agent tests your app, not just the code
  • Included with Google AI Pro, which many people already pay for
  • Free and open source, with free models to start
  • Works with almost any model, including local ones
  • OpenCode Go at $10 a month is very cheap for real daily use
  • Polished terminal and desktop app that many prefer to Claude Code's
  • Fast-moving project with a huge community
Cons
  • Agent quality lags Claude Code and Codex on complex tasks
  • $10 of credits a month disappears quickly once you use agents
  • Pretty pointless if your code is not on GitHub
  • Business and Enterprise prices are not published
  • Free limits have been cut before and could change again
  • Capacity errors at busy times on the free tier
  • Tied to Gemini models, so you cannot bring Claude or OpenAI
  • The product has been renamed and reorganised more than once this year
  • October 2026 Console breach exposed some saved API keys, and users reported surprise provider charges
  • Version 2.0 briefly stopped asking permission before file edits, and broke older plugins
  • Claude Pro and Max subscriptions can't be used, so Claude needs a paid API key
  • Free models get blocked on some networks for abuse, and limits shift with promotions
  • Terminal-first, so less friendly for non-developers
