Google Antigravity is live in public preview, giving developers a $0 individual tier with rolling rate limits and agent-first tooling powered by Gemini 3 Pro.
Free quotas, time-boxed trials, and startup credits form a patchwork of no-cost pathways that can sustain months of experimentation ahead of paid tiers launching in late 2025 / 2026.
Knowing exactly how each route works helps teams schedule sprints, avoid throttling, and prepare budgets before the freemium transition.

Antigravity’s public preview offers a zero-dollar individual tier that refreshes every five hours.
Anyone with a Google account can install Antigravity on Windows, macOS, or Linux at no cost.
The individual tier supports unlimited editor completions, natural-language terminal commands, and a single Mission Control agent workspace within a rolling quota.
When the quota expires after roughly five hours of active use, Antigravity queues or slows requests until the window resets.
Heavy peak-hour loads extend queue times because free accounts sit behind Vertex AI paid traffic in GPU priority.

Time-boxed trials and partner credits expand compute for startups and event participants.
Google Cloud’s Activate program grants qualifying startups $300 in Antigravity GPU credits, covering weeks of heavy development.
Hackathon organizers distribute 14-day Turbo vouchers that triple rate limits and unlock multi-agent orchestration.
A community “rolling trial” on Reddit flags that new sign-ups enjoy unlimited agent runs for their first thirty days.
Stacking these promos extends no-cost access far beyond the default preview window.

Planned premium tiers will introduce paid Developer Plus and Team plans after the preview ends.
Documentation placeholders reveal Developer Plus and Team subscriptions that add higher rate limits, role-based access control, SAML SSO, and compliance logs.
Agent concurrency scales to five or ten Mission Control sessions, with dedicated context caching and higher GPU lanes.
Google positions the current free preview as a feedback phase, warning that billing will start once production hardening completes.
Early adopters need migration plans for when quotas, pricing, and SLA documents go live.

Feature Comparison
Capability | Free Preview | Developer Plus / Team |
Cost | $0 | Monthly fee |
Agent concurrency | 1 | 5 – 10 |
GPU priority | Low | Medium → High |
Context cache | None | Dedicated |
SAML SSO | No | Yes |
Audit logs | No | Yes |

Preview users must work within quota resets, limited persistence, and safety caveats.
Agent artifacts and state wipe when the five-hour window resets, so long-running chains require manual checkpoints.
Turbo mode executes shell commands autonomously; misconfigured prompts can delete files or overwrite repos without confirmation.
GPU backoff during global spikes delays feedback, slowing iterative coding loops common in startup environments.
Despite these limits, free access remains powerful for drafting, refactoring, and prototyping multi-agent workflows.

Strategies for maximizing Antigravity before paid tiers activate.
Schedule intensive agent runs within the five-hour quota, then pause tasks until limits refresh to avoid queue time.
Chain Activate credits, Turbo vouchers, and rolling-trial windows sequentially, securing months of elevated capacity at zero cost.
Record Mission Control sessions via Artifacts, enabling rollback if an autonomous chain misfires or the window resets unexpectedly.
Export key plans, agent states, and logs before the preview concludes, ensuring a smooth transition to Developer Plus or Team pricing.
Monitor Google release notes and Data Studios alerts to catch new promotions or quota changes ahead of the freemium switch.
