Antigravity Pricing (2026): The $20 Plan Is the Default

Antigravity costs $0, $4.99, $19.99, $99.99, or $199.99 a month, but the $19.99 Google AI Pro plan is the sensible default for regular work. The free plan is useful until its weekly agent quota blocks you; the two Ultra tiers buy 5x and 20x Pro quota, and only the $199.99 tier improves the cost per quota unit.

The prices and plan labels below were verified against Google's live Antigravity pricing page, its current Google AI plan comparison, and its billing documentation in August 2026. That date matters: Google added a $99.99 middle Ultra tier and cut the highest tier to $199.99 in May, while several of its own page fragments still carry older credit language.

Antigravity pricing at a glance (August 2026)

Google AI Pro at $19.99 a month is the right paid starting point. Plus is too constrained for dependable agent work, Ultra 5x buys headroom without improving unit economics, and Ultra 20x is a power-user purchase that only makes sense after measured usage.

What each Antigravity plan buys

The plans sell agent headroom, not different editors. Every tier keeps the same basic Antigravity environment; the price changes how often the agent can work before a capacity limit stops or diverts it.

Individual: $0 is a useful floor

Antigravity Individual costs $0/month and is Generally Available, not a timed preview. Google lists unlimited Tab completions, unlimited Command requests, and a basic weekly agent quota. Tab is the inline autocomplete that finishes code as you type; Command handles requests outside a full autonomous agent run.

The free pricing card also names Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3 Flash, Claude Sonnet and Opus 4.6, and gpt-oss-120b. That looks unusually generous, but Google's current plans documentation separately calls third-party model access an Ultra benefit. Treat lower-tier Claude and gpt-oss availability as account-dependent until the signed-in model selector confirms it.

The harder wall is time. Users without Pro or Ultra receive a quota that refreshes weekly. A light task may consume less of that bucket than a long, multi-file agent job because Google meters the work performed, not a published prompt count.

Google AI Plus: $4.99 is not the professional bargain

Google AI Plus costs $4.99/month, and the current Google AI comparison labels Antigravity agent requests as limited. It also blocks the purchase of AI credits, so there is no paid escape hatch when the allowance runs out.

Plus includes 400 GB of Google storage and a wider set of consumer AI benefits. Buy it for that bundle if the bundle already has value to you. Do not buy it because you expect a dependable coding-agent workday; Google does not publish enough Antigravity headroom to support that expectation.

Google AI Pro: $19.99 is the default

Google AI Pro costs $19.99/month and changes the quota rhythm from a weekly refresh to a refresh every five hours until the weekly limit is reached. It also allows purchased AI credits after the baseline runs out.

That is the practical difference between evaluation and regular work. A solo technical builder can run agents through the day, recover capacity in five-hour windows, and keep overages off until the usage meter proves they are necessary. The plan also bundles 5 TB of storage and $10 in monthly Google Cloud credits, but those Cloud credits are a separate Developer Program benefit, not Antigravity overage credit.

Google AI Ultra 5x: $99.99 buys capacity, not efficiency

Google AI Ultra 5x costs $99.99/month and provides 5x the Pro quota in Gemini and Antigravity. Google also gives Ultra users priority access, higher limits, and first access to new models.

The price is almost exactly five times Pro, so the normalized cost stays at about $20 per Pro-equivalent quota unit. This tier is a capacity purchase for someone who already likes the workflow and keeps reaching Pro's ceiling. It is not a volume discount.

The bundle includes 20 TB of storage and $40 in monthly Google Cloud credits. Count those only if you would buy and use them independently; an unused bundle benefit does not lower the software budget.

Google AI Ultra 20x: $199.99 is the only unit-cost win

Google AI Ultra 20x costs $199.99/month and provides 20x the Pro quota. That is ten times Pro's price for twenty times its quota, cutting the normalized allowance cost to about $10 per Pro-equivalent unit.

The bundle rises to 30 TB of storage and $100 in monthly Google Cloud credits. The same rule applies: these can improve the total Google bundle value, but they are not cash back and do not refill Antigravity's baseline.

Organization: the company route is usage-based

The Organization plan moves Antigravity under Google Cloud terms. It adds Google Cloud Project integration and consumption-based pricing through Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, and Google says access is included in select Gemini Enterprise app subscriptions.

There is no public flat Antigravity seat price on the product page. A company that needs centralized governance should price this route from its Cloud agreement instead of trying to turn personal Google AI subscriptions into a team plan.

Decision path from free Antigravity through Pro and the two Ultra tiers
The tier decision starts with a blocked outcome, not a feature list.

Who never needs to pay for Antigravity

Stay on the free plan when the weekly agent bucket never blocks a useful outcome. That includes developers who mainly use Tab autocomplete and Command requests, people evaluating the agent workflow on side projects, and occasional users who can move a large task to the following week without hurting delivery.

Free is a poor fit when Antigravity becomes a daily production dependency. A weekly quota can turn a busy Tuesday into several days of waiting, and Google explicitly reserves the right to modify limits as capacity changes. The absence of a published prompt count means you cannot schedule a fixed number of tickets, pull requests, or refactors against it.

The free-plan decision is therefore behavioral, not aspirational. If you finish a representative week without a quota interruption, paying adds no business outcome. If a cap delays a release, a client fix, or an internal deadline, the $19.99 Pro line has a reason to exist.

The Antigravity quota math

Ultra 5x costs more without becoming cheaper; Ultra 20x is where the volume discount begins. Since Google does not publish a stable number of jobs or tokens inside the baseline, the closest defensible unit is one Pro-equivalent quota allowance.

  • Pro: $19.99 divided by 1x equals $19.99 per Pro-equivalent unit.
  • Ultra 5x: $99.99 divided by 5 equals $20.00 per Pro-equivalent unit after rounding.
  • Ultra 20x: $199.99 divided by 20 equals $10.00 per Pro-equivalent unit after rounding.

Moving from Ultra 5x to Ultra 20x costs another $100/month and adds 15 Pro-equivalent units. The incremental capacity costs $6.67 per added unit. That is strong value only when the added units get used; unused quota has a cost and no outcome.

Ultra 20x halves the normalized quota cost; Ultra 5x does not.

You still cannot turn this into cost per merged pull request. Antigravity says consumption changes with task complexity, model choice, and agent work. A simple explanation and a long autonomous refactor do not spend the same amount, and non-Gemini models sit in a separate fixed capacity pool.

Hidden costs in Antigravity pricing

The dangerous number is not the subscription; it is the overage you cannot map to a fixed job count. Google uses a baseline quota first, then lets Pro and Ultra users purchase AI credits when that quota is exhausted.

AI credits are a separate, variable bill

Antigravity offers an AI Credit Overages setting with two choices. Never stops the affected model at its baseline and waits for refresh. Always starts consuming the credit balance, then switches back to baseline after the refresh.

Google's public credit-purchase support page names packages of 2,500, 5,000, and 20,000 credits, but it does not display their current US checkout prices. It also says consumption varies by feature and model. That prevents a reliable public calculation such as dollars per agent task.

Auto-reload can purchase credits up to five times per day, which turns a vague meter into an open budget line. Credits may expire after the period shown when they are acquired. Only a family plan manager can buy more, and Antigravity credit purchases are unavailable in Japan.

The safer default is Never. Turn on Always only after you have set a cash budget and observed how the chosen models consume it.

Google's pricing card still carries superseded credit language

The Antigravity pricing cards say Pro and Ultra include a “Flexible AI credit pool.” Google's later May plan-change notice says AI credits were removed from base Google AI entitlements and now serve solely as overage. Current support pages also describe credits as purchases after baseline exhaustion.

Budget from the later rule: the subscription buys quota, and credits are an additional variable charge. Do not count an included credit balance unless the signed-in account shows one.

Annual billing saves nothing you can verify publicly

Google explicitly supports monthly or annual billing for AI Pro, but the public US comparison only shows $19.99/month. The annual total appears after sign-in at checkout, so there is no public number to normalize before purchase.

That matters because Google says most storage-plan purchases are non-refundable. An annual term can reduce the monthly rate, but only the checkout total reveals the discount, and cancellation normally does not turn unused time into cash. Prove the workflow monthly before considering a longer commitment.

Personal app pricing does not set the organization bill

The $4.99 to $199.99 Google AI ladder prices individual access to the Antigravity app. It is not a Gemini API rate card and does not establish a company seat price. The Organization plan connects a Google Cloud project and moves billing to consumption-based Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform terms or an eligible enterprise subscription.

Cost any Gemini API work outside Antigravity against the separate Cloud agreement. A personal Ultra subscription can raise the app's quota, but it does not make external API calls free or turn variable company usage into a flat monthly line.

Antigravity vs Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot on price

At roughly $20, Antigravity competes on workflow and bundle value, not sticker price. Cursor costs one cent more, Claude Pro costs the same monthly and less when annualized, and GitHub Copilot is half the price.

Cursor Pro: the same price for an editor-first workflow

Cursor Pro costs $20/month, just $0.01 more than Antigravity Pro. It includes extended Agent limits, frontier-model access, cloud agents, MCPs, skills, and hooks.

Cursor pricing

Pick Cursor when the polished editor and direct control are the outcome you value. Pick Antigravity when agent orchestration and the wider Google AI bundle matter more. The price does not decide this pair, which is why the deeper Antigravity vs Cursor comparison should be a workflow decision, not a discount hunt.

Cursor's candid limit is that more agent headroom sits behind higher tiers or usage-based billing. Antigravity's candid limit is less transparent quota accounting. One exposes the money meter more clearly; the other bundles more products around it.

Claude Code: cheaper annually, terminal-first

Claude Pro costs $20/month or $200 billed upfront annually, displayed by Anthropic as $17/month. The exact annualized cost is $16.67/month, which is $3.32 less than Antigravity Pro, and Claude Code is included.

Claude Code through Claude Pro

Pick Claude Code when the terminal is already your workspace and Claude is the model you want. Antigravity earns its extra bundle complexity when you want an agent-first editor and multiple model families under one interface. The Claude Code vs Cursor comparison explains the terminal-versus-editor split in more depth.

Claude Pro's limit is shared usage: Claude Code and the rest of Claude draw from the same allowance. An annual discount also locks cash upfront, while Antigravity Pro can be evaluated month to month.

GitHub Copilot Pro: the $10 value option

GitHub Copilot Pro costs $10/user/month, which is $9.99 less than Antigravity Pro. It includes unlimited code completions and next-edit suggestions, $15 in monthly AI credits, model selection, and access to third-party agents including Claude Code and Codex.

GitHub Copilot pricing

Pick Copilot when the job is excellent completion plus agents inside GitHub and familiar editors. Its limitation is posture: it is not the same multi-agent workspace as Antigravity. The lower bill buys a narrower center of gravity, which can be exactly right for a developer who does not want a new IDE.

The decision rule is clean. Choose Copilot at $10 for completion-first value, Claude Pro at $20 or $200/year for terminal-first Claude work, Cursor at $20 for an editor-first daily driver, and Antigravity Pro at $19.99 for agent-first work plus the Google bundle.

What changed in Antigravity pricing in 2026

Google turned a $20-to-$250 cliff into a $20-to-$100-to-$200 ladder on May 19, 2026. Before the change, Google described Pro at $20/month and one Ultra plan at $250/month. It then introduced a $100 Ultra tier with 5x Pro quota and cut the top tier to $200 with 20x Pro quota. The live US page now displays those as $99.99 and $199.99.

The business consequence is a viable middle budget line for someone who has outgrown Pro but does not need the highest allowance. The economic consequence is subtler: the middle tier adds capacity at the same per-unit cost, while the top tier halves the normalized quota cost.

Google also combined Gemini Flash and Pro usage into one shared pool weighted by API pricing. Cheaper Flash work can therefore stretch the Gemini side of the quota further, while non-Gemini models remain on a separate fixed rate limit. Model choice is now part of budget management, even though Google still does not publish enough detail to forecast a job-level bill.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Antigravity cost?

Google Antigravity has a $0 Individual plan. The current US Google AI ladder adds Plus at $4.99/month, Pro at $19.99/month, Ultra 5x at $99.99/month, and Ultra 20x at $199.99/month. Organizations use a Google Cloud consumption-based route without a public flat Antigravity price.

Is Google Antigravity free?

Yes. Individual access costs $0 and includes unlimited Tab completions, unlimited Command requests, and a basic weekly agent quota. It is enough when that weekly bucket does not interrupt valuable work.

Is Antigravity worth paying for?

Google AI Pro is worth $19.99 when the free weekly cap delays work that matters. Plus is not a dependable agent upgrade because requests remain limited and it cannot buy overage credits. Ultra is worth considering only after measured Pro usage reaches its ceiling.

Is there anything better than Antigravity?

Cursor is the closest editor-first alternative at $20/month. Claude Code is terminal-first at $20/month or $200/year through Claude Pro. GitHub Copilot Pro is the lower-cost option at $10/user/month for completion and GitHub-centered agent work.

Is Antigravity free for students?

There is no current Antigravity-specific student discount on Google's US student page. Google's previous Google AI Pro student offer ended on March 11, 2026. Students can still use the $0 Individual plan and should pay only if its weekly agent quota blocks their work.

Does Antigravity have annual pricing?

Google documents both monthly and annual subscriptions for Google AI Pro, but its public US page shows only the $19.99 monthly price. The annual total and payment date appear after sign-in at checkout. Google does not publish an annual Ultra price on the public comparison page.

What is Antigravity's refund policy?

Paid Antigravity access rides a Google One plan. Google says storage-plan purchases are non-refundable in most countries and regions, with local and app-store exceptions. Confirm the term and current checkout total before committing annually.

Did Antigravity pricing change in 2026?

Yes. On May 19, Google added a $100 Ultra tier with 5x Pro quota and reduced its highest tier from $250 to $200 with 20x Pro quota. Current public prices are displayed as $99.99 and $199.99.

The Monday move

Run one representative week before adding Antigravity to the permanent software budget. The goal is to measure a blocked outcome, not to guess how impressive an allowance sounds.

  1. Start on Individual

    Use the $0 plan for normal work. Keep a short record each time the agent quota blocks a task, including what was waiting and whether Tab or Command could still finish the job.

  2. Upgrade only after a block

    If the weekly bucket never delays delivery, stay free. If it does, buy one month of Google AI Pro at $19.99 and treat the five-hour refresh as the outcome you are paying for.

  3. Keep overages off

    Set AI Credit Overages to Never during the first Pro month. A hard stop gives you clean evidence about the baseline; automatic credit spend hides the point where the subscription stopped being enough.

  4. Let usage choose Ultra

    Move to Ultra 5x only when Pro repeatedly reaches its cap. Move to Ultra 20x when the additional 15 Pro-equivalent units can replace more than $100 of overage or blocked work. A company that needs governance should price the Organization route instead.

The result next Monday is one defensible budget choice: free while outcomes keep moving, $19.99 when weekly limits become a business cost, and Ultra only when measured capacity earns the jump.
