The bill on future Gemini spend
Antigravity is free at launch but Gemini-powered; long-term pricing is TBD. Budget ~$20/mo equivalent in API or future seat fees for planning. For this example: $20/month or $240/year.
| Feature | Freebuff | future Gemini spend |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | $0 | $20 |
| Annual cost | $0 | $240 |
| Token / credit overages | None | Common on long agent sessions |
| Subagents | 9 included | Varies |
| Model bundle | Included | Subscription or BYOK |
Three-step switch
- Use Freebuff in your existing editor instead of switching to Antigravity's fork.

Stop paying $20/mo
Questions
Can I run both Copilot CLI and Freebuff?
Yes. Many developers use Freebuff for heavy agent work and keep IDE completions elsewhere — or drop the paid tier entirely.
Do I need to change editors?
No. Freebuff runs in whatever terminal you already use.
