Our verdict
Antigravity suits developers who want to hand work to several parallel agents, with a free tier to try and plans bundled into Google AI subscriptions for people already in Google's ecosystem. The trade-offs are weekly and five-hour limits that are hard to predict, data terms that let Google use interactions to improve its products, and a young product with several documented safety incidents.
Best for: Developers who want to try a coding agent for free on Windows, macOS or Linux
Skip it if: Anyone who needs an explicit commitment that code and prompts are never used to improve products
Pros
- A free plan with unlimited Tab completions and Command requests
- Several surfaces: an app for parallel agents, a CLI, an IDE, extensions for other IDEs and a Python SDK
- Per Wikipedia, supports Gemini, Claude and GPT-OSS models, with extensions for VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, Zed and Xcode
Cons
- Limits are described as 'basic', 'high' or 'highest' and depend on capacity and the agent's workload, with no concrete numbers
- Per Wikipedia, in December 2025 Turbo mode erased a user's entire drive after a request to clear a project cache, and Google later added a human-review mode
All pros and cons · Who is it for?
Pros
- Very frequent releases: the changelog lists six versions, 2.28.0 to 2.30.0, within two weeks (27 October to 9 November 2026)
Cons
- Per Wikipedia, researchers reported flaws such as a malicious repository installing a backdoor and a prompt injection in the file-search tool (fixed 28 February 2026)
- Trustpilot sits at 1.9/5 from 38 reviews, citing a harder-to-use 2.0 redesign, quotas that run out fast and server capacity errors; Product Hunt is kinder (4.7/5 from 26 reviews) but also mentions usage caps
Best for
- People already paying for Google AI Pro or Ultra who want the usage included
- Organisations on Google Cloud or Gemini Enterprise that want spend caps and central admin
Skip it if
- Anyone who needs a fixed cost for a known number of requests per month

Experience & key features
What is Google Antigravity?
Google describes Antigravity as its agentic development platform, allowing anyone to build in the agent-first era. Per Wikipedia, it launched as a free public preview on 18 November 2025 alongside Gemini 3, originally as an editor for Windows, macOS and Linux. At Google I/O on 19 May 2026 Google announced Antigravity 2.0, with a desktop app for running agents in parallel, a CLI and a Python SDK; the original editor was relaunched as the separate Antigravity IDE.
How it works and key features
Per the homepage, the App is a command center for several local agents, grouping conversations into projects and scheduling messages; the CLI is a lightweight terminal-first surface; the IDE adds an agent manager, artifacts and deep codebase understanding; and the SDK lets you prototype custom agents in Python. Per Wikipedia, agents can use a code editor, a terminal and a Chrome-based browser and produce Artifacts such as task lists, plans, walkthroughs and screenshots. Turbo mode runs terminal commands without approval, while Strict mode requires approval and sandboxes commands with restricted network access. Per the changelog, version 2.29.0 (3 November 2026) began rolling out voice mode powered by Gemini Live and remote agents.
Pricing and value
Antigravity's pricing page has an Individual plan at 0 USD a month with basic weekly rate limits. For more you subscribe to a Google AI plan: per the Gemini subscriptions page, AI Pro costs 19.99 USD a month and Ultra comes at 99.99 USD (5x Pro) and 199.99 USD (20x Pro). These plans bundle other Google services, so the price is not for Antigravity alone. The docs say Pro and Ultra quotas refresh every five hours until the weekly limit, with AI credits available at Gemini Enterprise consumption pricing. Opened from Vietnam, the Google AI page showed Pro at 489,000 VND a month and Ultra at 2,250,000 VND (5x) or 5,500,000 VND (20x) a month. Organisations using it through Google Cloud or Gemini Enterprise pay from 30 USD per seat per month, or pay as you go.

Who it's for and how it compares
Antigravity suits people who want to try a coding agent without paying up front, or who already have a Google AI plan. Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot and Windsurf compete in the same space. Per Wikipedia, launch brought a debate over the editor being derived from VS Code and possibly Windsurf without clear disclosure, and a data-loss incident in Turbo mode. If you let agents run commands on their own, keep backups and prefer Strict mode.

Privacy
Per Antigravity's terms, Google records user and interaction data while the service is running and uses these Interactions to evaluate, develop and improve Google and Alphabet research, products, services and machine-learning technologies. The terms say Google employees and contractors may access, view, review and use Interactions. You can change your preference in settings; even with telemetry off, Google still uses data to provide the service, process feedback and keep it safe. Deletion is requested by email to support. If you choose a third-party model such as Anthropic's, that provider's terms also apply, and access through Gemini Enterprise, Workspace or a business API key follows your administrator's terms. The pages opened do not say explicitly whether code and prompts are used for model training, nor give a retention period. On safety, per Wikipedia, Turbo mode runs terminal commands without approval, while Strict mode requires approval and sandboxes commands with restricted network access.

Frequently asked questions
Is Google Antigravity free?
Yes. The Individual plan at 0 USD a month includes a variety of agent models and unlimited Tab and Command, with basic weekly rate limits. Google AI Pro (19.99 USD a month) and Ultra (from 99.99 USD a month) raise the limits.
Which operating systems does Antigravity support?
Per Wikipedia: Windows 10 or later, macOS Monterey or later and Linux, on x86-64 and ARM64. Extensions bring the agent to VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Zed and Xcode.
Does Antigravity use my data to improve Google products?
Per the terms, Google uses interactions to evaluate, develop and improve products and machine-learning technologies, and employees and contractors may review them. You can change the preference in settings; the terms do not use the word training, and Google still uses data to run the service even with telemetry off.
Is Turbo mode safe?
Turbo runs terminal commands without approval, so the risk is higher. Per Wikipedia, in December 2025 a user reported Turbo erasing an entire drive after a request to clear a cache. Strict mode requires approval and sandboxes commands with restricted network access, though a prompt-injection flaw was also reported and fixed on 28 February 2026.

Why this score
Download and start with a Google account, with a free plan and several installers. Marked down because four surfaces (app, CLI, IDE, SDK), two command-approval modes and limits that mix weekly, five-hour and credit rules take effort to understand. The interface is English-only.
Why this score
Parallel agent management, a built-in browser, Artifacts, a plugin marketplace with Figma, Linear, Notion and Stripe, voice mode powered by Gemini Live, an SDK and extensions for many IDEs. Not scored higher because the product only launched in November 2025 and the sources opened have no independent comparison against rivals.
Why this score
Usable for free; AI Pro at 19.99 USD a month bundles 5 TB of storage and other Google services, and Ultra comes in 99.99 and 199.99 USD tiers. Held back because limits carry no concrete numbers, and Wikipedia, Trustpilot and Product Hunt reviewers all report quotas running out very fast.
Why this score
Limits refresh every five hours on Pro and Ultra and depend on available capacity. The sources opened contain no independent measurements of speed or code quality. Trustpilot reviewers report capacity errors (MODEL_CAPACITY_EXHAUSTED, HTTP 503), freezes and agents ignoring rules files; the sample is small (38 reviews) but enough to score below peers.
Why this score
Docs, a public changelog and a support email for data deletion requests exist. The pages opened list no chat or phone channel, and no independent reviews of support quality were found.
Why this score
The terms let Google use interactions to improve products and machine-learning technologies, staff and contractors may view them, and turning telemetry off does not stop data use to operate the service. A settings option and enterprise admin terms exist, but the pages opened do not clarify training or retention, and Wikipedia documents prompt-injection flaws.
