Why is amp so expensive

I switched from Cody Pro to the Amp, but I didn’t have any gift funds to use. I paid $5 but it was gone after 10 messages. Is that how expensive it is? It does almost the same thing as Cody. Only slower, but it inserts the code for you. And because of this it has become hundreds of times more expensive? I used to pay $10 a month and was happy with Cody

Hey @arturmurwork Amp is usage based and you pay for the tokens you used up directly. For Free and Team tiers, we are not putting a margin on top of it so all costs are directly passed through.

Amp is not comparable to Cody as Amp is a step forward in the evolution of AI-assistant based programming and tool use. This product now brings the possibility for automated end-to-end tasks for the user. Cody was meant to be used as an assisted chatbot with some enhanced tools for file editing and context fetching.

I hope that clarifies your question.
