For anyone wondering, Amazon already offers an Agentic coding CLI similar to Claude Code: https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli

It has a pretty decent free tier, and maybe the subscription is better value than Claude Code, but hard to tell.

It supports MCP as well.

Amazon Q also has a VC Code and IntelliJ Idea plugin too, Kiro goes beyond what you can do as a plugin in VS Code though, similar to why Cursor had to fork VS Code.

Q CLI is great. It’s basically Claude models but pretty much unlimited and only for $20

Not as polished as Claude Code but also a bit price difference

That sounds too good to be true, and it seems like they are indeed introducing a usage system similar to their competitors next month?

> Starting August 1, 2025, we’re introducing a new pricing plan for Amazon Q Developer designed to make things simpler and more valuable for developers.

> Pro Tier: Expanded limits $19/mo. per user

> 1,000 agentic requests per month included (starting 8/1/2025)

Previously agentic use was apparently "free", but with a set deadline in June, so it seems like this was just for a testing phase?

50 request per month? Am I reading that correctly? If that's the case it is pityful.

That's on the free plan. It's 1000 on the 19$ subscription, or 3000 on the 39$ one.

If you go over the limit, it's $.04 / request.
