The company aims to make agentic coding more accessible by allowing users to link their ChatGPT subscription for additional usage beyond included limits.", "body_md": "Today we're launching Amp Subscriptions in **Beta**. You can now subscribe monthly to Amp and explore the frontier with us, with cheaper and more predictable pricing:\n\nIf you subscribe on or before Sunday, July 19[^1], you'll get **bonus 2x usage** for orbs and agents in the first month.\n\nAmp just got a *lot* cheaper for many of you, especially if you [link your ChatGPT subscription](https://ampcode.com/settings/model-providers?add=chatgpt-sub).\n\nWe know you've been asking for this for a long time. Until now, Amp's pricing model has been pay-as-you-go for tokens at API prices, no subscription. Compared to other agents on monthly subscriptions, this made Amp more expensive—[\"the Apple or Porsche of agentic coding tools\"](https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/12/22/a-year-of-vibes/#:~:text=Amp%20feels%20like%20the%20Apple%20or%20Porsche%20of%20agentic%20coding%20tools), to put it nicely.\n\nBut everything is changing. Great tokens are reasonably priced. Good-enough tokens are downright cheap (like GLM-5.2 in our [new low mode](https://ampcode.com/news/the-dial)). Being on the frontier no longer requires using the most expensive models.\n\nYou *can* still pay-as-you-go in Amp; monthly subscriptions aren't required.\n\nAnd, to be clear, to use Amp beyond your subscription's included monthly limits, you need to [link your ChatGPT subscription](https://ampcode.com/settings/model-providers?add=chatgpt-sub) or add paid credits.\n\nThe frontier is now about agents working for you in parallel, without your supervision, on remote machines. We call these [\"orbs\"](https://ampcode.com/news/agents-in-orbs), and Amp's monthly subscriptions include so much orbs usage you don't need to worry about counting the minutes.\n\nWe want you to finally be able to (and want to) kill your singleton local dev environment.\n\nWe want you to make your agents go further to prove to you their work is correct, with videos and screenshots and local dev portals, and much less manual code review.\n\nRemember last year, when other agents asked you to approve the agent's work step-by-step, edit-by-edit? Amp users realized before anyone else that was dumb and slow, and Amp never did that.\n\nThis shift feels similar to us. It's inevitable, and we want it to go as fast as possible. We hope this subscription makes it easy for you to explore this new frontier with us.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/subscriptions-at-last", "canonical_source": "https://ampcode.com/news/subscriptions", "published_at": "2026-07-17 00:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-17 19:22:04.452849+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-products", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Amp", "ChatGPT"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/subscriptions-at-last", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/subscriptions-at-last.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/subscriptions-at-last.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/subscriptions-at-last.jsonld"}}
