Free Tier Value

FTV score
Est. value $9.50 / month

Feature parity 50%

The pricing page states Amazon Q Developer has a perpetual Free Tier with 50 agentic requests per month and 1,000 lines of code per month for Java upgrades, while the Pro Tier is $19/user/month with higher limits. Using the conservative FTV rule for a capped free tier, the value is the cheapest paid plan that exceeds the free cap, prorated; here that is the $19 Pro Tier, so FTV = $19/month. Feature parity is set to 50% because several Pro-only capabilities are clearly gated, including admin dashboard/user-policy management and IP indemnity.
