Amp
Sourcegraph's unconstrained agentic coding tool, billed by usage.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep it — Anthropic has not replaced it
Anthropic's version overlaps, but does not finish the dev tools job, so this one is still worth keeping open.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Subscription agents compete on flat pricing rather than raw capability. Anthropic, June 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? paid only
- 2 replacements listed, all paid.
- What the call is worth nothing to cancel
- No paid entry tier tracked, so there is no subscription to cancel.

The backstory
Amp takes the opposite position to everyone selling a flat monthly fee: no model picker, no throttling, always the strongest configuration, and you pay for what you burn. It appeals to developers who found subscription agents quietly downgrading them mid-task.
