Usage: 8 hours/day, 5 days/week

Antigravity (Free Preview):
* Cost: $0
* Requests: ~4,000/month
* Sufficient: Yes

Expected Post-Launch:
* Free Tier: Not sufficient
* Pro Tier: $20-30/month

Scenario 2: Small Team (5 developers)

Usage: 40 hours/week per developer

Hidden Costs

1. Infrastructure

If using Antigravity's cloud features:
* Storage for artifacts
* Compute for agent execution
* Network bandwidth

Estimated: $10-50/month depending on usage

2. Training Time

Learning Antigravity's agent-based workflow:
* Initial learning curve: 1-2 weeks
* Productivity dip during transition

Cost: Opportunity cost of slower development

3. Vendor Lock-In

If you build workflows specific to Antigravity:
* Switching costs if you migrate to another tool
* Dependency on Google's roadmap

How to Maximize Free Tier

Tips for Staying Under Limits

1. Batch Requests:
Instead of asking the AI to do one thing at a time, batch multiple tasks:
> “Create a login component, add validation, and write tests”

2. Use Caching:
Antigravity caches context. Reuse the same workspace to avoid re-loading context.

3. Optimize Prompts:
Clear, specific prompts reduce back-and-forth, saving requests.

4. Use for High-Value Tasks:
Save AI requests for complex tasks. Do simple edits manually.

When to Upgrade (Post-Launch)

Upgrade to Pro If:

* You hit rate limits regularly
* You need faster response times
* You want priority access to new features
* You're a professional developer

Upgrade to Team If:

* You have 3+ developers
* You need collaboration features
* You want centralized billing

Upgrade to Enterprise If:

* You have 20+ developers
* You need on-premise deployment
* You require SLA guarantees
* You handle sensitive code

Alternatives if Pricing is Too High

Option 1: Cursor

* Similar features (minus agents)
* $20/month Pro tier
* More mature ecosystem

Option 2: Windsurf

* Similar features (minus agents)
* $20/month Pro tier
* Better for solo developers

Option 3: Local LLMs

* Free (after hardware cost)
* Complete privacy
* Requires technical setup

The Value Proposition

Is Antigravity Worth It?

For Solo Developers:
* If you ship 10% faster, you save ~16 hours/month
* At $50/hour, that's $800 in value
* A $20-30/month subscription pays for itself

For Teams:
* If each developer saves 10% time, a 5-person team saves 80 hours/month
* At $100/hour (loaded cost), that's $8,000 in value
* A $250-500/month subscription is a no-brainer

Conclusion

Google Antigravity is currently free during public preview. When it launches, expect pricing similar to Cursor and Windsurf ($20-30/month for Pro).

The value proposition is strong: even a small productivity boost pays for the subscription many times over.
