Yes, Amp offers a free tier with Free tier with limited monthly usage. Paid plans start at $30/mo.

What are the limitations of Amp?

Younger product — smaller community and fewer tutorials than Claude Code or Codex. Full multi-repo benefits require Sourcegraph infrastructure. Pricing model still maturing. Less ecosystem integrations than Claude Code (no Slack, limited IDE extensions).

Amp

Agentic coding CLI by Sourcegraph, with multi-repo code graph context

Best for multi-repo context

Developers who need autonomous agentic coding with multi-repo context across large codebases

Founded 2025 · USA

Good Fit If You're...

Developers working across multiple repositories

Amp can index and reason across multiple repos simultaneously — useful for microservice architectures where a feature spans multiple services. Context comes from Sourcegraph's code graph, not just the current repo.

Sourcegraph users adding agentic coding to their workflow

If your team already uses Sourcegraph for code search, Amp slots in as the agentic layer on top of that same indexed codebase. No new infrastructure needed.

BYOK developers who don't want a per-seat subscription

Amp lets you use your own API keys, so you pay your model provider directly. Good for developers who already have Anthropic or OpenAI credits and want to avoid another subscription.

Teams evaluating Claude Code alternatives with stronger multi-repo support

Claude Code indexes one repo per session; Amp's Sourcegraph-backed context spans your whole org's codebases. For large engineering teams, this difference matters.
