The Frontier Is Now Free

Update: Amp Free no longer shows ads. See the latest update.

Every Amp user can now receive daily free credits to use the full Amp experience, including our frontier smart agent powered by Opus 4.5. No payment required, powered by ads—turn them off if you don't want free credits.

If you're a new user, just sign up for Amp, and download the CLI or editor extension.

If you're an existing user, go to user settings to enable ad-supported free credits.

What You Get#

The free credit grant replenishes hourly, giving you a total of $10 worth of credits per day or roughly $300 of credits per month. When you've used up free credits, you can either wait for the hourly reset or purchase paid credits.

Amp's smart mode is currently driven by Opus 4.5 (with GPT-5 and Gemini-3-powered subagents like the oracle + librarian). You can also use rush mode, which provides faster inference at a lower cost per token, currently driven by Haiku 4.5.

Really?#

Really! Like everything we do, ad-supported inference is an experiment. We can't promise we can do this forever, but we've already rolled it out to a sizable beta group thanks to our ad partners and it has been well-received.

Ads are text-only and never influence Amp's responses. If you don't like ads, you can opt out and just pay the cost of inference.

We invite new users to check out our manual, which contains good tips for using Amp efficiently.
