Who it's for
Teams already running on AWS who want an AI assistant tightly wired into AWS services, console troubleshooting, and automated code/runtime upgrades (e.g., Java version migrations) alongside general coding help.
Who it's not for
Developers outside the AWS ecosystem, or those wanting a general-purpose multi-cloud coding assistant, should look elsewhere, since Q Developer's standout features are AWS-centric.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 agentic requests/mo, latest Claude models, IDE plugins + CLI, 1,000 lines/mo Java transformation, no admin dashboard or IP indemnity. |
| Pro | $19/user/mo | Expanded agentic requests, 4,000 pooled lines/mo for Java upgrades ($0.003/line beyond that), admin dashboard, Identity Center SSO, IP indemnity, auto opt-out of data collection. |
Pros
- Deep AWS ecosystem integration, including console Q&A and infra troubleshooting
- Automated language/runtime upgrade feature (e.g., Java version transformations)
- IP indemnity coverage included on the Pro tier
- Low $19/mo Pro price relative to most agentic coding competitors
Cons
- Standout features are AWS-specific, less compelling for non-AWS teams
- Free tier capped at just 50 agentic requests per month
- Pro billing activates automatically once agentic/transformation features are used, with mid-month cancellation still charging the full month
