Kiro pricing
Kiro's cheapest paid plan is Pro at $20 a month billed monthly.
Free plan: Kiro Free gives 50 credits a month with no credit card, on Auto, Claude Sonnet 4.5 and open-weight models such as Qwen3 Coder Next, DeepSeek 3.2 and MiniMax M2.1, subject to rate limits. It cannot buy add-on credits, so work pauses until the next month's reset, and Kiro Web, cloud sessions, the iOS app and API keys for headless CLI runs need a paid plan. Kiro may use your content for service improvement unless you opt out, and may keep free-tier inputs for up to 60 days for abuse detection.
| Plan | Billed monthly | Billed yearly, per month | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | free | not listed | 50 credits a month, no credit card; Auto, Claude Sonnet 4.5 and open-weight models (DeepSeek 3.2, MiniMax M2.5 and M2.1, GLM-5 and Qwen3 Coder Next), subject to rate limits; no add-on credits, Kiro Web, cloud sessions, iOS app or headless API keys; content may be used for service improvement unless you opt out |
| Pro | $20 | not listed | Price per user: 1,000 credits a month (unused credits do not roll over); premium models such as Claude Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5, GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna and Kimi K3, where available in your country; Kiro Web, cloud sessions, the iOS preview and API keys for headless CLI runs; add-on credits at $0.04 each; output indemnity outside Kiro's Excluded Models; a $20 credit, prorated by the days left in the month, the first time you upgrade with GitHub, Google or AWS Builder ID sign-in |
| Pro+ | $40 | not listed | Price per user: 2,000 credits a month; otherwise as Pro |

Before you pay
- Everything is metered in credits, which Kiro defines as a unit of work: a simple prompt can cost less than 1 credit, a spec task usually more, and the model sets the rate (Claude Opus 5.5 uses twice Auto's credits, GPT-5.6 Sol 4.4 times, doubled again for GPT-5.6 requests over 272K tokens), so a plan's credits do not translate into a fixed number of tasks. In HostAdvice's 2026 test, planning one platform used 4.28 credits before any application code was written. Unused monthly credits do not roll over.
- Past the monthly credits, individual paid subscribers buy add-on credits at $0.04 each, in packs from $5 (125 credits) to $100 and up to five packs at a time, which expire 12 months after purchase. That is twice the 2 cents a credit every paid plan works out to, and Kiro itself suggests moving up a plan once add-on spend nears the price difference. Free cannot buy add-ons and pauses until the next month; team overages ($0.04 a credit, billed at month end) stay off until an admin enables them.
- Billing runs on calendar months from the 1st (UTC). Your first upgrade is prorated, and the $20 sign-up credit applies only when you sign in with GitHub, Google or AWS Builder ID, not through IAM Identity Center; from your second paid month, mid-month upgrades charge the full price difference for the month, while downgrades and cancellations take effect the next month after you pay the current one in full. Kiro lists no yearly billing, and its FAQ names only credit cards as a payment method.
- On Free and on paid plans you sign into with GitHub, Google or AWS Builder ID, Kiro may use your questions, inputs, its responses and generated code for service improvement, which its docs say can include model training, unless you untick content collection under Settings, Application, Telemetry and Content; free-tier inputs may also be stored for up to 60 days for abuse detection. Kiro's enterprise page says content on Pro to Power subscriptions is not used to train foundation models, without naming a sign-in method, while its FAQ and data-protection page keep only users who sign in through IAM Identity Center or an external identity provider out of service improvement.
- Kiro's output indemnity on paid plans does not cover its Excluded Models: Kimi K3 and every model marked experimental, preview, pre-release or beta; Kiro's model table marks Claude Opus 5.5, all three GPT-5.6 models and the open-weight DeepSeek 3.2, MiniMax M2.1 and Qwen3 Coder Next experimental. Model availability also varies by country, and free and individual users' requests go to Kiro's US endpoint, with their content stored in US East (N. Virginia).
- In the IDE, Autopilot is the default: the agent creates files, changes code across the project, runs commands and makes architectural decisions without asking at each step (Supervised mode stops for approval after each turn with edits), and the local command sandbox that limits what agent-run commands can read, write and reach is off by default.
- Your subscription may be used only in Kiro's own apps, ACP-compatible editors and software-development automation such as CI reviews; routing it through third-party harnesses such as OpenClaw is not permitted. Each developer needs their own subscription.
- Two of the three hands-on tests cited here cover the 2025 preview, before general availability in November 2025, the CLI, Kiro Web, Crew and today's models, when InfoWorld's tester hit API timeouts and over-long code; HostAdvice's 2026 tester still hit a timeout after more than 7 minutes. Older reviews also quote preview-era plans ($19 and $39 a month) and separate vibe and spec request limits, which Kiro replaced with one credit pool in September 2025, or the 500 bonus credits new users got until May 8, 2026, when Kiro replaced them with the $20 credit on a first paid upgrade.
