Paid plans start at $20/mo. There's also a free plan.
Kiro Free costs $0 and includes 50 credits per month, access to open-weight models and Claude Sonnet 4.5. Paid individual plans start at $20 per user per month for Kiro Pro, which includes 1,000 credits and access to premium models. Higher plans add monthly credits, while teams can pool credits across seats. Add-on credits cost $0.04 each on paid plans, so the bill depends on both the plan and the models used.

02What the plan grid doesn't tell you

Team overages
Teams / Enterprise includes 500 pooled credits per seat monthly. Additional credits cost $0.04 each.
GovCloud premium
GovCloud pricing is approximately 20% higher than commercial pricing and does not include a Free tier.
03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Trying Kiro | Kiro Free | Costs $0 and includes 50 monthly credits to evaluate the workflow. |
| Individual developer | Kiro Pro | $20 monthly includes 1,000 credits and premium models; add-ons cost $0.04 per credit. |
| Team sharing credits | Teams / Enterprise (Credit Pooling) | $20 per seat monthly includes 500 credits per seat pooled across the team. |
04Is Kiro worth the money?
Kiro Free is enough to try the spec workflow, but 50 credits per month is a small allowance for regular agent use. Kiro Pro at $20 per user monthly is the first paid step, with 1,000 credits and premium models; whether that is enough depends on model choice and task volume. Heavy users can move to higher plans or buy credits at $0.04 each. Teams should compare pooled credit use with seat count. Kiro is not an open-source or self-hosted alternative, so Free is the low-cost option for evaluation, not an escape from the hosted product.
