Pricing

Hobby is free with self-hosted orbs and your own subscriptions or keys, with pay-as-you-go for Amp-hosted orbs. Individual starts at $20/mo (Megawatt), and Gigawatt is a higher tier with 10x the limits; its price is set in the browser and was not found in the page, docs, or the pricing bundle checked. Teams add no extra charge; Enterprise is custom.

Platforms

Web at ampcode.com, macOS app, iPhone, iPad, Android, and a terminal CLI.

Research notes

Correct product is Amp at ampcode.com, from an independent lab; the about page says 'We are an independent agent research lab', so older 'by Sourcegraph' listings are stale. Not related to Google AMP. No Codex mode was found: a linked ChatGPT plan serves GPT models to Amp's own agent, so use_codex_sub is no under the brief's subprocess/provider definition while own_subscription is yes. Claude mode runs on Amp's servers through the Claude Agent SDK, not locally. Local means Amp's CLI and your Mac as a runner; remote means self-hosted orbs on your Docker or Kubernetes and your own runners. No public source repository was found. 'No More BYOK' (May 2025) is superseded by the update note at the top of that post.
