What changed
Amp is free if you bring your own model subscriptions or API keys and run agents on your own machines or self-hosted orbs; BYOK token fees and limits are gone on every tier except Enterprise. The new free Hobby tier charges pay-as-you-go for Amp-hosted orbs, the $20 Individual plan includes 45,000 orb minutes, and a new Teams tier adds shared billing, SSO and pooled credits at no extra charge.
Who it affects
Individual developers and teams using or evaluating Amp, especially those with existing model subscriptions.
What to do
If you already pay for ChatGPT or Claude, try the Hobby tier with your own keys before buying a plan.
