In their own words
Amp
Amp is a coding agent and development environment for work across local machines, cloud orbs, and connected runners. An orb is a cloud machine created for a thread, where the agent can use a project, tools, and plugins. Amp offers chat assistance, codebase indexing, and terminal access, and uses different models for different tasks, including GPT-5.6 and Claude Fable 5.1. Its CLI connects to VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, and Neovim; the JetBrains integration is deprecated. Threads can be saved and shared, with workspace threads shared with the team by default. GitHub integration can clone private repositories, push branches, open pull requests, and read CI status subject to the connected account’s access. Amp supports local and remote MCP servers. In Slack, users can send requests to a personal Puck by mentioning @Amp. Amp lists a free Hobby plan for public and private repositories and a Megawatt plan at $20 a month, including 45,000 minutes of orb time and unlimited public and private repositories. Amp says it does not offer self-hosted deployment, though users can bring their own model-provider API keys.
OpenCode
OpenCode is an open source AI coding agent for working in a terminal, IDE, or desktop app. It provides chat assistance, agent mode, terminal access, and codebase indexing, and supports more than 75 LLM providers as well as local models. The software can load language servers for the selected model and coordinate multiple agents on one project. Editor extensions are listed for Visual Studio Code, Cursor, Zed, Windsurf, and VSCodium; GitHub and GitLab integrations are also available. Users can share session links, while conversations are private by default. OpenCode says it does not store code or context data. The free plan includes the open source agent and free models, or users can connect a model provider. OpenCode Go costs $10 a month and lists usage limits of $12 per 5 hours, $30 per week, and $60 per month. The site recommends WSL for Windows users for performance and full feature compatibility.
