Agentic IDE and CLI with spec and vibe modes
Updated
Kiro is a developer tool built around agents, offered as an IDE, CLI, web and mobile experience and a team feature called Crew. It supports both vibe and spec modes, where spec work breaks a task into structured steps before code is written.
Usage is metered in credits. A credit measures work done on your prompts; simple prompts can cost under 1 credit while complex tasks such as executing a spec task usually cost more. Models consume credits at different rates, and the page gives an example where a task costing X credits on Auto would cost 1.3X on Claude Sonnet 4.6. The Free plan lists access to open weight models and Claude Sonnet 4.5.
Developers and engineering teams who want agents handling planned, multi-step work fit best. Teams can pool credits starting at two seats. Organizations needing US government cloud can use AWS GovCloud (US) pricing, which is about 20 percent higher with no free tier.
Free is $0 per month with 50 credits. Pro is $20 per user per month with 1,000 credits and premium models, Pro+ is $40 with 2,000 credits, Pro Max is $100 with 5,000 credits, and Power is $200 with 10,000 credits. Teams start at 2 seats at $20 per seat per month, adding 500 credits per seat to a shared pool. Extra credits cost $0.04 each.
Amp is a coding agent that runs in cloud sandboxes and a terminal, rather than a dedicated IDE. Qodo focuses on code quality, review and testing. Aider is an open source terminal pair-programming tool, in contrast to Kiro's commercial IDE with credit billing.
