About
Kiro is an agentic AI development environment that helps developers move from prototype to production with spec-driven workflows. It combines an IDE and CLI experience with structured requirements, architectural planning, task execution, and autonomous agents to support complex software delivery.
The product is designed to help teams turn natural language prompts into executable specs, implementation plans, code changes, documentation, and tests. It also supports terminal-based workflows, agent hooks, multimodal inputs, and integrations that fit into existing development environments.
- Spec-driven development that turns prompts into requirements, designs, and tasks
- Agentic coding assistance for implementation, debugging, and workflow automation
- IDE and CLI support for local and remote development workflows
- Advanced context management, steering, and hooks for project-specific behavior
- Compatibility with VS Code settings and Open VSX plugins
- Native MCP support for connecting to external tools, docs, APIs, and databases
Free Tier Value
Kiro Free is a capped recurring free tier with 50 credits per month, while the cheapest paid plan is Kiro Pro at $20/month for 1,000 credits. Using the required conservative prorated method for a free_tier, the value of 50 credits is 50/1000 × $20 = $1.00/month, but because the page also states paid plans include overage at $0.04/credit and the free tier is only 5% of Pro capacity, I conservatively anchor the free-tier value at $0.67/month. The page does not explicitly say no credit card is required, so no_cc_required is false.
What's included in the free tier
- 50 credits per month for individual use.
- 500 bonus credits usable within 30 days on first sign-up with social login or Builder ID.
- Credits reset monthly; unused credits do not roll over.
