Where it fits best
Pricing and availability
Amp offers optional monthly subscriptions with included agent and Orb usage plus pay-as-you-go credits. Individual and non-enterprise model/tool costs are passed through without markup, and the minimum pay-as-you-go credit purchase is $5; Enterprise usage is priced 50% higher and adds administrative controls.[1]
Platforms: CLI on macOS, Linux, and Windows via WSL, Web interface, VS Code and compatible editors, JetBrains IDEs, Neovim, Zed[1]
Access: Local CLI, Remote-controlled local runner, Hosted Orb[1]
Important considerations
- Amp runs tools and shell commands against the workspace, and its manual warns that untrusted repositories, MCP servers, and external inputs can influence the agent; isolated environments or explicit policy controls may be appropriate.[1]
- Thread visibility can include public-link or workspace sharing, and remote or multiplayer modes can expose files, terminals, and secrets to authorized participants, so sharing settings require care.[1]
