Decision notes
Official-document research
Based on the cited documentation. We did not use the product, purchase a plan, or run quality, speed or reliability tests in this review.
Consider it for
- Developers able to review agent edits and cloud access
Choose another approach if
- Sensitive data prohibited by the service terms
- Assuming paused Orbs delete repository data
Pricing and conditions
Documented terms
Hobby uses your own runners and inference; no Amp token fee is not free provider usage. Individual displays $20/month with 45,000 Orb minutes. Other routes can use credits, tools and enterprise fees. Currency, tax and selected-mode checkout need confirmation.

Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
Amp Frontier Corporation supplies a hosted service; BYOK does not self-host Amp. Users retain their content but grant service-processing rights, and provider policies apply. Training requires opt-in; Enterprise cannot enable it. Enterprise ZDR covers eligible features/models with stated exceptions. Sensitive Data is prohibited; output adoption does not clear third-party rights.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
Original 4.5/5 retained; the original scoring worksheet and hands-on evidence are unavailable. This documentation review did not re-score it.
Overview
Amp supports local work and remote Orbs: each Orb gives a thread a VM, repository checkout and tools. Shared threads support collaboration and review. Pick the execution location and workspace visibility before using private repositories.
A paused Orb stops compute charges but keeps its files and memory. Deleting a thread removes its Orb; prepared snapshots have a separate retention window. This review did not run an agent or compare coding quality.
