Pros and cons

Google Antigravity

Pros

  • Free Individual plan with unlimited Tab completions and Command requests.
  • Offers Gemini, Claude and GPT-OSS models in one tool.
  • Parallel agents and background subagents in isolated Git worktrees.
  • Artifacts (plans, diffs, browser recordings) make agent output reviewable.
  • Available as app, CLI, IDE extensions and Python SDK on macOS, Windows and Linux.
  • Enterprise controls include SSO, VPC Service Controls and regional data residency.

Cons

  • Pricing page gives no numeric rate limits or credit amounts, so quotas are hard to predict.
  • Prices for Google AI Pro and Ultra are not shown on the Antigravity pricing page.
  • Weekly and five-hour limits apply, with Gemini and Claude/GPT usage tracked separately.
  • Product surfaces and release cadence are fast-moving, and some enterprise IDE features are still in Preview.

Zed

Pros

  • Native Rust application designed for low-latency editing on multiple cores and the GPU.
  • Free Personal plan with unlimited use of your own API keys or external agents.
  • Supports external agents through ACP and MCP rather than locking users to one agent.
  • Built-in multiplayer collaboration, debugger, Git and remote development.
  • Source code is public on GitHub.

Cons

  • No web or mobile version; the README lists web as not yet available.
  • Hosted AI requires a paid plan, billed at API list price plus 10%.
  • Business plan SSO, SAML and SCIM are planned but not yet available.
  • Extension library is described on the site as hundreds of extensions, so niche tooling may need workarounds.
