How Much Does Google Antigravity Cost?
Google Antigravity's Individual plan is reported at $0 per month, and none of the paid prices attached to it could be confirmed against a Google price list for this article. The paid tiers are not Antigravity products. They are Google AI subscriptions: AI Pro, reported at $20 per month, and AI Ultra, reported at $100 or $200 per month.
That is the first thing most coverage gets wrong. You do not buy Antigravity. You buy a Google AI plan, and Antigravity reads your entitlement from it.
The bill that scales with usage is the model bill, and that is the one credits actually offset. AI Perks tracks $7.7M in AI and cloud credits across 194 companies.
| Plan | Monthly price | How solid is it | What is reported about limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual (Free) | $0 | Reported, medium confidence | Unlimited Tab completions and Command requests, basic weekly rate limits |
| Google AI Pro | $20 | Reported, medium confidence | Expanded rate limits on the Antigravity agent model |
| Google AI Ultra | $100 | Reported, medium confidence | Described as 5X the Pro usage limit |
| Google AI Ultra | $200 | Reported, medium confidence | Described as 20X the Pro usage limit, cut from roughly $250 |
Every figure there comes from third-party pricing coverage published during 2026, not from a Google rate card, and the Antigravity pricing page fetched for this article did not confirm a dollar amount for the paid tiers. Read it as reported, not confirmed.
Google Antigravity Plans: What Google Publishes About Quotas, and What It Does Not
Google describes Antigravity limits in adjectives, not numbers. No requests-per-day, tokens-per-week or tasks-per-cycle figure exists for any tier in any source checked for this page.
That absence is the most important fact here, and more reliable than any of the prices, since every source agrees on it. Pro and Ultra are described as adding expanded or higher rate limits to the Antigravity agent model. Expanded compared to what is nowhere stated.
The practical consequence: you cannot forecast Antigravity capacity from a spec sheet. Run a week of real work through the free tier before you commit to a paid one.
Is Antigravity Credit-Metered or Quota-Metered?
Reported as both, at different layers, and neither meter has a published number. That matters, because launch-window articles call Antigravity "a credit system" and stop there.
Reporting from March 2026 describes Google moving Antigravity from a simple subscription to a credit-based system, cutting free tier quotas by roughly 92% in the same change. Google has not published a before-and-after quota number, so that 92% cannot be checked against a primary source. Treat it as directional, not measured.
On the credit side, coverage of Antigravity's September 2026 general availability reports that credits come included with select Gemini Enterprise app subscriptions. No dedicated Antigravity startup-credits program appeared in any source checked for this page, and no credit balance is published for any tier.
So the honest summary: day-to-day usage runs against rate limits nobody has quantified, and credits arrive bundled with an enterprise subscription rather than as a standalone purchase. A team budgeting Antigravity as a flat per-seat subscription is budgeting the smaller of the two bills. AI Perks tracks the credit programs that cover the larger one.
Two Pricing Changes and One GA Milestone
Antigravity's commercial terms are reported to have changed twice between March 2026 and general availability, and neither change was confirmed against a Google price list for this article.
| Date | What is reported | How solid is it |
|---|---|---|
| March 2026 | Move to a credit-based system, free tier quotas cut by about 92%, Pro reported to lose its earlier five-hour refresh cycles | Third-party reporting, medium confidence, not confirmed by Google |
| May 2026 | New $100 AI Ultra tier at a reported 5X Pro limit, top tier cut from roughly $250 to $200 at a reported 20X Pro limit | Third-party reporting, medium confidence |
| 10 September 2026 | Preview period ends, Antigravity reaches general availability, Individual plan reported to stay free | Reported, medium confidence |
One widely repeated detail deserves a flag. March-era coverage said Pro lost its earlier five-hour refresh cycles, and nothing checked for this page establishes what replaced them. Do not plan around a five-hour refresh on Pro as though it were documented.
The product itself has kept moving. Antigravity 2.0 shipped on 19 May 2026, logged as version 2.0.1 in the official changelog, and later point releases added an "open in Antigravity IDE" button, an embedded terminal, and Git-native version control in the sidebar. No changelog entry announces a price change: the version history and the pricing history are separate timelines, and only one of them is documented by the vendor.
How Antigravity Compares to Other Agentic Coding Tools
The tier shapes rhyme across the category, which is the only comparison available when no quota numbers are public.
| Tool | Free tier | Mid tier | Top individual tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Antigravity | $0, reported | $20 via Google AI Pro, reported | $100 or $200 via Google AI Ultra, reported |
| Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) | $0 with unlimited local tab completions and inline edits | $20 Pro | $200 Max |
| Lovable | $0 | $25 Pro, 100 credits | $50 Business, 100 credits |
Windsurf's March 2026 overhaul went the opposite direction to Antigravity's: it retired the credit system in favor of daily and weekly quotas, raised Pro from $15 to $20, and introduced a $200 Max tier. Windsurf is no longer a product you sign up for under that name. It now ships as Devin Desktop from Cognition, windsurf.com redirects to devin.ai/desktop, and the Cascade agent was retired in July 2026. The tiers you can buy today are Devin Desktop Free at $0 with unlimited local tab completions and inline edits, Pro at $20 per month, and Max at $200 per month. Lovable moved the other way in August 2026, collapsing separate build-credit, hosting and in-app AI balances into one unified credit pool. Devin Desktop Teams is $80 per month plus $40 per seat.
Two observations worth acting on. $20 is now the default mid-tier price across all three, so the subscription line will not decide which tool you pick. And the $200 ceiling shows up on both Antigravity and Devin Desktop, which suggests vendors agree that is where heavy individual usage tops out before consumption billing takes over.
What It Actually Costs to Use Antigravity
For most individual developers, $0. The Individual plan is reported as free, requires no subscription, and includes unlimited Tab completions and Command requests. That is a real free tier, not a time-limited trial.
The honest decision framework, given that no tier publishes a quota:
Stay on Individual if you use Antigravity in bursts, a few sessions a week, and can tolerate waiting out a weekly reset.
Pay $20 for AI Pro when the weekly rate limit becomes the thing that interrupts your work rather than an occasional annoyance.
Consider $100 Ultra when you hit Pro limits during a normal working day. Coverage rates this at 5X Pro, which is a reported multiple, not a measured one.
Consider $200 Ultra only for sustained multi-agent work. At a reported 20X Pro, the marginal $100 buys 4X more headroom than the $100 tier, a poor ratio unless you genuinely saturate that tier first.
Above all of that sits whatever consumption billing applies to enterprise usage. That line item behaves like an API bill rather than a subscription, and it is the one worth funding with credits. See what is available at getaiperks.com.
How to Cover the Model Bill With Credits
Subscriptions cover the IDE. Credits cover the model consumption underneath it. Those are separate bills, and the second one is the one that grows with your agent usage.
The catalogue at getaiperks.com spans the AI Tool and Cloud Infrastructure categories, where the programs that offset consumption-priced agent work sit. Cloud credits matter more than IDE discounts here, because the subscription is a flat, small number and the model usage is not.
Two things are worth knowing first. Credits are time-boxed, so a grant that starts before you have agent workloads to spend it on wastes most of its value. And this category re-prices fast: Antigravity's terms changed twice in six months, Windsurf rebuilt its metering in March 2026, and Lovable rebuilt its own in August. A budget built on last quarter's numbers is already stale.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Google Antigravity free after general availability?
Reported as yes. Coverage of the September 2026 general availability describes an Individual plan at $0 per month with no subscription required, including unlimited Tab completions and Command requests plus basic weekly rate limits. Paid tiers come from Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscriptions rather than from Antigravity itself. Credits that offset the underlying model bill are tracked at getaiperks.com.
How much is Google AI Ultra for Antigravity?
Reported at $100 or $200 per month. May 2026 coverage describes the $100 tier as giving 5X higher usage limits in Antigravity than Pro, and the $200 tier as giving 20X, with the $200 tier replacing one priced at roughly $250. None of those figures were confirmed against a Google price list for this article.
Does Antigravity use credits or rate limits?
Reported as both, at different layers. Day-to-day usage runs against rate limits that are described qualitatively and never quantified. Credits are reported to come included with select Gemini Enterprise app subscriptions rather than as a standalone Antigravity purchase. Credit programs that fund model consumption are listed at getaiperks.com.
How many requests do I get on the free Antigravity plan?
No source checked for this page publishes that number, for any tier. The free plan is described as unlimited Tab completions and Command requests with basic weekly rate limits on the agent model, and the weekly limit itself is never given a figure. Reports of a roughly 92% free-quota cut in March 2026 come from third parties and are not confirmed by Google.
Do startups get dedicated Antigravity credits?
No dedicated Antigravity startup-credits program appeared in any source checked for this page. Credits are instead reported to be bundled into select Gemini Enterprise app subscriptions. Broader AI and cloud credit programs that offset the same model bill are tracked at getaiperks.com.
Is Antigravity cheaper than Windsurf?
Windsurf now ships as Devin Desktop from Cognition, and windsurf.com redirects to devin.ai/desktop. At the free tier both are $0, and at the mid tier both sit at $20 per month, so list price will not decide it. Antigravity's top individual tier is reported at $100 or $200, and Devin Desktop's Max tier is $200. The real difference is metering shape: Windsurf retired credits for daily and weekly quotas in March 2026, while Antigravity is reported to have moved toward credits that same month.
Antigravity's terms changed twice in six months. The credits that cover the model bill are still there.
