What Warp does
A terminal with a built-in AI agent that can also run as a CLI, and a separate Factories product for coordinating agents across development work.
Warp is a terminal built for AI-assisted development. Its agent can be used inside the terminal app or through a separate command-line tool, and the same account carries your plan and conversations across both. Paid plans give agent access to frontier and open-source models from several providers, while the Free plan lets you plug in your own AI inference instead.
Beyond the terminal, Warp connects to Slack, Linear and GitHub so you can mention the agent to investigate bugs, suggest fixes or open pull requests. A second product, Warp Factories, aims at automating software delivery: you define a factory in code, covering repositories, agents, models and permissions, and use agents from different vendors.
For the terminal, pricing has five tiers. Free costs $0 per month. Build costs $20 per month billed monthly or $18 per month billed yearly. Max costs $200 per month billed monthly or $180 per month billed yearly. Business costs $50 per user per month billed monthly or $45 per user per month billed yearly, and covers up to 25 seats. Enterprise is custom priced through sales. Build and Business include $20 of agent usage at API rates (Business per seat), Max includes $200, and extra usage can be bought. Warp says it is SOC 2 compliant and has zero data retention agreements with its LLM providers.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Free plan at $0 per month includes the terminal and Warp Agent CLI access
- Paid plans cover frontier and open-source models, with the option to bring your own inference on Free
- Agent can be mentioned from Slack, Linear and GitHub to investigate bugs or open PRs
- SOC 2 compliance and zero data retention agreements with LLM providers are stated
- Annual billing lowers the price: $18 per month for Build, $180 for Max, $45 per user for Business
Cons
- Agent usage is metered in dollars; extra usage must be purchased, at 20% more on Free
- Business is limited to 25 seats; larger teams must talk to sales for Enterprise
- Own API keys are only for individuals and organizations of up to 10 people
- Free plan caps cloud conversation storage at 30 conversations and has limited cloud agents
- Credit card is the only accepted payment method
Our take
Warp fits developers who want a terminal with AI agents built in and who like starting free before paying. Build suits individuals, Max suits heavy agent users, and Business suits teams that need SSO and admin data controls. The trade-off is usage-based spending: included agent usage is capped in dollars, and extra purchases cost 20% more on the Free plan. Bringing your own API keys is limited to individuals and organizations of up to 10 people, so larger groups must buy Business or Enterprise. Business stops at 25 seats, and Enterprise has no published price. Payment is by credit card only, and the Factories product is a separate offering with its own usage-based billing.
