Amp

Amp is a coding agent and development environment for web, terminal, and native app workflows. It can inspect projects, edit code, and use tools. Its current experience includes orbs: machines created for agent threads with the project's code and tools ready to use.

Key Highlights

• Coding sessions through the web and CLI
• Native macOS, iPhone, and iPad apps
• Orbs that let agents continue working remotely
• Saved and shared threads across clients
• Plugins, skills, MCP, and AGENTS.md instructions
• Model access through supported subscriptions or your own keys

What Makes It Different

Amp combines the coding agent with a development environment. An orb supplies a machine for a thread, so a remote task can continue after you close your laptop. Local CLI workflows and your own runners provide other ways to work.

Features & Capabilities

Create a project from a Git repository, then give the agent a task. The web experience starts threads in orbs, while the CLI can work on your machine or from scripts. Native apps add notifications and ways to follow up on agent work.

Threads and workspace features support collaboration. Plugins and skills customize the workflow, and model routing can use supported external accounts. A consumer subscription must be connected and eligible; it does not automatically cover every model or infrastructure charge.

User Ratings and Testimonials

Amp publishes product examples and vendor-selected feedback rather than a universal independent rating. Review generated code and test changes in your project. Orb resource needs, provider access, and the selected workflow affect cost.

Pricing & Value

Hobby is free, with pay-as-you-go orbs or your own runners. Paid individual tiers start at $20/month. Teams have no additional team charge, and members can use different tiers. Enterprise pricing is custom. Amp lists no token fee for supported external subscriptions or BYOK; provider charges and orb usage still depend on the selected setup.
