Amp is now free to use when you bring your own compute and model subscriptions/keys.
\nYou pay us for orbs, our remote computers where your agents run independently and in parallel. Or you can use runners on your own computers to run your Amp agents for free.
\nYou can still pay for model inference through Amp if you want, with no markup.
\nHere's our new free Hobby tier and no-extra-charge Teams tier, which make it easier to get started with Amp and to get your whole team on it:
\nSee Pricing for full details, but let's walk through what changes and what doesn't.
\nOn average, Megawatt members get a 60% discount and Gigawatt members get a 65% discount on their Amp usage. It's a great deal.
\nYou'll keep getting the same heavily discounted orb usage and model usage each month, plus you can now feed your orbs with tokens from more places.
\nWith this change, you're no longer effectively bound by the limits of your ChatGPT sub. You can tap other model providers or your company's preferred AI gateway/provider (more on that below), all without any Amp token fees or limits.
\nWe've eliminated the biggest sources of friction you might hit when spreading Amp, cost-wise and security-wise.
\nNow, you can invite everyone to your Amp workspace for free and feel the magic of Amp's shared threads, shared portals, and multiplayer.
\nEveryone can use Amp with ChatGPT subs or your company's preferred AI gateway via BYOK, with no monthly fees.
\nPower users can upgrade to paid tiers for big orb discounts, while everyone else in the workspace can remain on the free Hobby tier and consume your pooled workspace credits for orbs pay-as-you-go.
\nAlso, you get free SAML/OIDC SSO for the whole workspace if at least one member is on a paid tier.
\nFinally, we're now formally extending our zero and minimal data retention policy to all Amp users and workspaces, not just to our Enterprise tier. (Everyone was always covered by it for all Amp usage since we started, but until now we could only contractually guarantee that to our Enterprise customers.)
\nUpdate (September 30, 2026): These are now available to all Amp users on every tier. Set them up in Model Routing. Thank you so much to our Megawatt and Gigawatt members who got early access and gave us valuable feedback!
\nToday, Amp Megawatt and Gigawatt members are also getting early access to more BYOK providers:
\nTo try these, configure them in Model Routing in personal settings or workspace settings.
