Overview
Overview
Amp is an agentic coding tool that works across a terminal and editor integration. It reads and edits files in a repository, runs commands, and works through multi-step tasks. It was spun out of Sourcegraph into an independent company (ampcode.com) in late 2025, and it differs from many competitors on pricing: usage is billed at provider cost, and the official pricing page states there are no Amp token fees or limits on the Hobby tier.
Its plan structure is built around pooled usage rather than per-seat fees. The Hobby tier is free and includes pay-as-you-go usage. The Megawatt tier is $20 per month and includes 45,000 minutes of agent time. Teams are not charged an extra seat fee, and Enterprise adds SCIM, audit logs and IP allowlisting on custom terms.
Key Benefits
- Transparent usage pricing: Costs track model usage, not a seat count, which suits small or uneven teams.
- Team features without seat fees: Shared billing and pooled credits let a team share one budget.
- Own-runner option: Commands can run on your own infrastructure instead of a vendor-managed environment.
Use Cases
- Multi-file feature work: Describe a change and let the agent plan, edit and run tests across a repository.
- Budget-controlled agent use: Teams that want to avoid per-seat costs can pool usage under one bill.
- Enterprise rollout: Organisations that need SSO, audit logs and admin analytics can use the Enterprise plan.
