  • Free Hobby tier includes all product features, with bring-your-own-key and own-runner options.

Choose Jules if

  • You want a tool built for finishing or exporting existing work before the shutdown, previously, delegating well-scoped GitHub tasks such as bug fixes, dependency bumps and test writing.
  • Works asynchronously, so several tasks can run in the background (3 concurrent on the base plan, up to 60 on Ultra).
  • Plan and diff review steps keep the developer in control before a pull request is opened.

Pros and cons

Amp

Pros

  • Per-thread cloud orbs let agents keep running unattended without worktree or port conflicts.
  • Free Hobby tier includes all product features, with bring-your-own-key and own-runner options.
  • Works across web, Mac, terminal and CI runners, with event triggers from Linear, GitHub and schedules.
  • Multiplayer orbs let teammates share an agent, terminal and running app.
  • Teams plan adds SSO, pooled credits and shared model routing at no extra seat charge.

Cons

  • The Mac app requires macOS 26 or later and the Mac and iOS apps are labelled beta.
  • No App Store iOS release yet; mobile access is through TestFlight.
  • Orb rates, overage behaviour and Gigawatt pricing are not published on the pricing page.
  • Pay-as-you-go orbs on the free tier make costs less predictable than a flat subscription.
