Google Antigravity pricing starts at $0, and the app is Google’s agent-first coding tool. This review covers what Antigravity is in October 2026, whether Google Antigravity is free, what the pricing looks like across the $0 plan, Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra, which models each plan gets, and where it falls short. Prices and limits below come from Google’s own pricing page, plans doc, models doc and Google AI plans page, plus GitHub’s and Anthropic’s pricing pages for the comparison, all read on October 10, 2026.
⚡ TL;DR: The Bottom Line
What It Is: A desktop app (Antigravity 2.0) and a terminal tool (the Antigravity CLI) for running AI agents that write code and handle other knowledge tasks, on one shared agent harness.
Price: $0 for the individual plan. Google AI Pro ($19.99 a month) and Ultra ($99.99 or $199.99) add higher limits and a credit pool. Eligible Gemini Enterprise customers pay from $30 per seat per month, or use pay as you go.
Our Take: A free starting point for anyone curious about agent-first coding. Try the $0 plan before paying anyone.
⚠️ The Catch: Google’s Antigravity pages give no per-plan request counts, only relative limits that it says can change, and the Claude 4.6 models disappear on November 2.
📑 Quick Navigation
🆕 What’s New in Antigravity (October 2026)
Antigravity’s pricing page now carries a “Generally Available” heading, and its changelog shows a release every few days. The recent entries:
- v2.22.0 (October 8): sidebar drag-and-drop and UI extensions.
- v2.21.1 (October 7): Advanced Search, and Scheduled Tasks renamed Automations.
- v2.19.1 (September 30): you can message subagents directly.
- v2.18.1 (September 28): a plugins marketplace.
- v2.17.0 (September 22): a /plan command with a Plan Review Policy.
- v2.16.0 (September 22): Windows Subsystem for Linux support, Office attachments and live subagent cards.
- v2.15.1 (September 19): file and network sandboxing on Windows.
- v2.12.0 (September 2): quoting and a /boost command for paid users.
Two shifts matter more than any single release. First, the Gemini CLI is gone for consumer accounts: 9to5Google reported on June 17 that Gemini CLI would shut down for consumer accounts on June 18, and that the Antigravity CLI replaces it, keeping the most critical features (Agent Skills, Hooks, Subagents, Extensions) without full feature parity at first. Second, the model list is changing, covered in the pricing section below.
🚀 What Google Antigravity Does (It Is Not Just Coding)
Google’s overview describes Antigravity 2.0 as a standalone desktop app for managing AI agents that run “complex knowledge and coding tasks”. The agents can run system commands, read and write files, search the web, use skills and MCP servers, spin up subagents, drive Chrome, and produce artifacts and implementation plans. So “Google Antigravity limitations, not just coding” has a short answer: the app is pitched at general knowledge work as well as software, though in our reading most of its tooling and bundles are developer-oriented.
🔍 REALITY CHECK
Marketing Claims: An agent app for “complex knowledge and coding tasks”, in Google’s overview.
What It Really Means: The agents can act on your machine, run commands and browse, which makes them useful for multi-step jobs and also means you should decide what they may touch. On the pages we read, Google gives no success-rate or time-saved figure for any task.
Verdict: Treat agent output as a first draft to review, and start with small projects.
⚡ Getting Started with Antigravity
Per Google’s getting-started guide, you install Antigravity 2.0 from antigravity.google/download. It lists macOS 12 (Monterey) or later, limited to versions Apple still patches (typically the current and two previous), Windows 10 (64-bit), Linux with glibc 2.28 and glibcxx 3.4.25 or later, and Googlebook OS. You sign in with a personal Google Account, or a Business account through Gemini Enterprise, and agents work inside a project in either local mode or a new worktree mode. Slash commands include /goal, /grill-me and /schedule.
Google’s FAQ says Antigravity is unavailable to users under 18 and is offered for personal accounts in approved regions. If a Workspace account fails to sign in, the FAQ suggests trying an @gmail.com address. You can opt out of data collection in the Settings panel.
🖥️ The Antigravity Ecosystem: App, CLI and SDK
- Antigravity 2.0 desktop app. The main interface for dispatching and watching agents.
- Antigravity CLI. A keyboard-driven terminal interface on the same agent harness. Per Google’s CLI overview, it syncs settings with the app, can export a conversation to 2.0, and offers a one-time import of extensions, skills and settings from Gemini CLI.
- Build with Google bundles. Google’s Build with Google page lists bundles for Modern web guidance, Firebase, the Antigravity Python SDK (google-antigravity), Android CLI, Science, Chrome DevTools, Dart and Flutter, Data Agent Kit and Google Maps Platform.
- Organization plans. A Business plan via Google Cloud, with Gemini Enterprise seats and pay-as-you-go consumption pricing.
⭐ Features Worth Knowing About
- Subagents. Agents can hand work to subagents, and since v2.19.1 you can message them directly.
- Plans before code. The /plan command and Plan Review Policy (v2.17.0) let you review an implementation plan before the agent acts.
- Automations. On-demand or scheduled tasks, renamed from Scheduled Tasks in v2.21.1.
- Sandboxing. v2.15.1 added file and network sandboxing on Windows.
- Plugins marketplace. Added in v2.18.1 for discovering and installing plugins.
- Image generation. Google’s models doc says the generative image tool uses Nano Banana 2.
💰 Google Antigravity Pricing: Is It Free and What Do Plans Cost?
Is Google Antigravity free? Yes for the individual plan. Google’s pricing page lists it at $0 a month, with access to a variety of agent models, unlimited Tab completions, unlimited Command requests and basic weekly rate limits, and says you can try it “without a subscription plan”. The paid steps are Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra, which add higher limits and a credit pool. This is also the answer to “Antigravity price”, “Antigravity cost” and “Antigravity pricing plans”.
| Plan | Price | What Google says you get |
|---|---|---|
| Individual (free) | $0 | Agent models, unlimited Tab completions and Command requests, basic weekly rate limits; a quota that refreshes weekly |
| Google AI Pro | $19.99 a month ($199.99 a year) | More rate limits and the flexible AI credit pool; quota refreshed every five hours until the weekly limit |
| Google AI Ultra | $99.99 or $199.99 a month (Google labels these 5x and 20x Pro for Gemini usage) | Per the plans doc, the highest quota, refreshed every five hours, and the highest weekly limits; on Google’s AI plans page the Antigravity agent-requests row reads Higher for the $99.99 tier and Highest for the $199.99 tier |
| Business and Enterprise | Business plan via Google Cloud (contact sales); Gemini Enterprise from $30 per seat per month, or pay as you go | For eligible Gemini Enterprise customers: Standard or Plus plans from $30 a seat, or a pay-as-you-go plan with a $0 seat fee; spend caps and admin controls are listed |
Google’s models doc groups Google AI Plus ($4.99 a month on Google’s AI plans page) with the free tier (“Free & Google AI Plus”). There are no per-plan request counts anywhere on the pages we read. Google’s plans doc says rate limits track how much work the agent does, so simple tasks get you more prompts, and that usage limits are “subject to modification”. Pro and Ultra users can buy AI credits, or use promotional credits, for overage at standard Gemini Enterprise consumption pricing, with an overage setting of Never or Always. The plans doc also says bring-your-own-key or bring-your-own-endpoint for extra rate limits is not supported, and neither are organizational tiers through a custom contract.
📊 Antigravity Plan Prices (USD per Month)
Antigravity Models Pricing: Which Models Each Plan Gets
Per Google’s models doc (re-read October 14), Gemini 3.8 Flash is available on every plan, from the free tier and Google AI Plus to Pro, Ultra and Enterprise, and Gemini is the core agent model on every plan. Gemini 4 Argon is now listed for Pro (non-trial subscriptions only), Ultra and Enterprise, and Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash and 3.1 Pro are now listed for Enterprise only. The other models differ:
| Model | Free and Plus | Pro | Ultra | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gemini 4 Argon (not in the Antigravity IDE) | No | Non-trial subscriptions only | Yes | Yes |
| Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, 3.1 Pro | No | No | No | Yes |
| Claude Opus 5.5 (thinking), Sonnet 5.5 (thinking) | No | Non-trial subscriptions only | Yes | Yes |
| Claude Opus 4.6 (thinking), Sonnet 4.6 (thinking) * | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| GPT-OSS-120b * | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
* Marked for removal. The key date: Google says Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-OSS-120b will be removed from Antigravity on November 2, 2026. After that, the Claude options in the docs are the 5.5 models, which the table above shows are not on the free tier. That matters for anyone who chose the free plan for Claude access, which is how our May version described it. Check the models doc for your plan before you rely on a specific model.
💡 Key Takeaway: The $0 plan is real and keeps Gemini models and unlimited Tab completions. Paying for Google AI Pro or Ultra buys higher limits and, for the Claude 5.5 models, access you do not otherwise get (on Pro, a non-trial subscription only). Gemini 4 Argon now works the same way: Ultra, plus Pro on a non-trial subscription. Google’s Antigravity pages give no request counts, so budget by trying it, not by a number.
⚖️ Antigravity vs GitHub Copilot and Claude Code: What You Pay
All three are agent-capable coding tools, and two of them have a free tier. Prices below are the vendors’ own, in US dollars:
| Tool | Free option | Entry paid plan | Higher plans |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Antigravity | $0 individual plan | Google AI Pro, $19.99 a month | Google AI Ultra, $99.99 or $199.99 |
| GitHub Copilot | Free, $0 | Pro, $10 a month | Pro+ $39, Max $100 |
| Claude Code | None (Claude Code needs a paid plan) | Claude Pro, $20 a month ($17 on the annual plan) | Claude Max from $100 |
These tools are not like for like: Antigravity’s plans bundle a wider Google AI plan, Copilot is an editor assistant and agent, and Claude Code is included with the Claude subscription. For deeper looks, see our Claude Code vs Cursor comparison, our GitHub Copilot Pro guide and our AI agents for developers roundup.
⚠️ Limitations and Known Issues
- Opaque limits. Google gives relative terms (basic, more, even more) rather than request counts, and says limits are subject to modification.
- Model churn. The Claude 4.6 models and GPT-OSS-120b leave on November 2, 2026, and the Claude 5.5 models sit behind paid plans.
- Region and age limits. Personal accounts need an approved region, and the FAQ says it is unavailable under 18.
- Fast-moving app. A release every few days means features, names and settings change, such as Scheduled Tasks becoming Automations.
- Agents act on your machine. They can run commands and read files, so use sandboxing where it exists and keep sensitive work out of reach. Windows sandboxing arrived in v2.15.1.
- Third-party tools. Google’s FAQ says using other tools such as Claude Code with an Antigravity login violates its terms of service and can lead to suspension.
- CLI parity. The Antigravity CLI did not match Gemini CLI feature for feature at the start, per 9to5Google.
Our May version also carried forum reports about rate-limit lockouts and a drive-wiping incident. We did not re-verify those for this update, so we left them out rather than repeat them. If they matter to you, check Google’s AI Developers Forum yourself.

🎯 Who Should Use Antigravity (and Who Shouldn’t)
Try the $0 plan if: you are curious about agent-first coding and want to see the app before paying, or you want Gemini models with unlimited Tab completions.
Pay for Google AI Pro ($19.99) if: you hit the free limits, or you want the Claude 5.5 models (on a paid, non-trial subscription) and also use the rest of the Google AI plan.
Consider Ultra or a business plan if: your team needs the highest limits, admin controls or Google Cloud connections.
Look elsewhere if: you need exact usage numbers to plan a budget, you want to bring your own API key for extra rate limits, or you are under 18 or outside an approved region.

A: Personal Google Accounts need to be 18 or older and in an approved region. Business accounts sign in through Gemini Enterprise.
🏆 Final Verdict: Should You Try Google Antigravity?
Antigravity is easy to recommend as a free trial and harder to recommend as a paid purchase, because Google’s Antigravity pages do not say how much usage a plan buys. The $0 plan gives you Gemini models and unlimited Tab completions, the app moves quickly, and the CLI covers terminal work. Pay for Google AI Pro only after you hit the free limits, and if you want Claude, plan around the November 2 model removal.
Try it free if: you want to see agent-first coding. Pay for Pro if: you hit limits or want the Claude 5.5 models on a paid, non-trial plan. Skip it if: you need fixed usage numbers. Check Google’s pricing page before you pay.
