Amp vs Warp AI (2026)

Amp

by Amp Frontier Corporation

Warp AI

by Warp

Pros

• ✓Each thread can run in a cloud orb set up with the project's code, tools and plugins, so agents keep working after the laptop closes, and threads can be started or followed from the web, Mac, iPhone or the CLI.
• ✓Multi-model by design: four modes route work across OpenAI, Anthropic and fast models, and on Hobby, Individual and Teams developers can bring a ChatGPT subscription or their own keys with no Amp token fees.
• ✓Team features come at no extra charge, including shared threads, multiplayer, shared portals, plugins and skills and pooled credits, and a GitHub App lets agents open pull requests and read CI status.

Limitations

• –Model usage beyond a tier's included credits is paid separately, through the developer's own provider subscription or keys or through Amp credits at provider API prices, and purchased credits expire after twelve months.
• –Paid tiers are billed monthly and orb time is metered by the minute: Megawatt's 45,000 minutes go faster on larger orbs, and the largest orb size is limited to Gigawatt and Enterprise.
• –SCIM, audit logs, IP allowlisting and regional endpoints are on the quote-based Enterprise tier, and SAML or OIDC SSO needs at least one workspace member on a paid tier.

Pros

• ✓Warp AI combines a modern terminal, a built-in code editor, codebase indexing and Warp Agent in one open-source environment on macOS, Linux and Windows.
• ✓Oz runs cloud agents from the app, a web app, an Agent API or CI, with Warp Agent, Claude Code or OpenAI Codex as the harness, and Warp Factories adds standing multi-agent workflows.
• ✓The Automation Platform integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Slack, Linear and Jira, and agents can connect to external MCP servers.

Limitations

• –Each Warp AI tier includes a set amount of agent usage as credits at API rates, and usage beyond it is bought as reload credits.
• –SAML SSO and admin-configurable data controls start on Business at $50 per user per month, which is capped at 25 seats, and self-hosted cloud agents are on Enterprise.
• –The Factories product is in early access, with access granted through a sign-up request, and cloud agent access is limited on the Free tier.
