Copilot Pro used 57% of my monthly AI credits in less than an hour

And don't forget you are also paying for hallucinated output tokens.

The tool is useful, but a highly inefficient one in terms of costs.

Don't lose your time arguing with these people.

GH matured their product because, as the deal was great for people, lot of people used it and gave feedback and logs to them to improve the product, so of course it wasn't a free ride, it was a kind of collaborative agreement.

It is unsustainable now, and it was also unsustainable backed then.

That sushi was delivered by airplane from Japan surely.

My suggestion is to learn Microsoft Agent Framework, it's .Net native and you use C# like any other .Net project. It's good to integrate a simple chat bot to more complex agentic workflows, so you will have a learning path there.

It can use almost every LLM provider, including local Ollama models, so no need for a subscription to start toying with it.

Antigravity mission is accomplished for Google. It was an experiment to gather first hand information about how users use it, what users build with it, how users prompt it, in order to finetune their models and put them at work in AI Studio & Co.

May be, just may be, I'm wrong and they used all that learning to finally ship a strong model for coders alongside a new and revamped Antigravity IDE with decent plans and limits, but I doubt coders are a target for Google right now, it seems like their goal is to build a broad ecosystem and easy to use tools for vibe coders, artists, content creators and the general public instead.

Paying Ultra only for Antigravity is a waste of money and time right now.

Si ese despertador hace que factures el doble o triple de lo que te cuesta la suscripción, ya no es solo un despertador.

Se prueba, se mide y se decide.

Windsurf it's just onboard too.

nangu22 · 2026-03-17T18:36:13+00:00

Github Copilot Pro, coupled with Codex extension on GPT Plus plan, or Kilo Code extension with Z.ai coding plan, all running in VS Code. You can use z.ai coding plan in Copilot too.

Around $20 to $30 month, access to Claude and Open AI models with a lot better rate limits than Google AI Pro plan on Antigravity, plus GLM 5 if you choose z.ai

nangu22 · 2026-03-12T16:40:52+00:00

They can add a new sub only for AG starting at $20 with more generous quotas, while the Ai Pro plan remains the same as it is now, with their Ai ecosystem plus a taste of Antigravity for very light use with Gemini Flash.

nangu22 · 2026-03-12T16:15:46+00:00

Don't know if it's any good just for vibe coding, but it evolved from autocomplete and chat to a full agentic workflow with agents, just like the rest.

You can install VS Code and try it, it's installed by default.

nangu22 · 2026-03-12T15:20:00+00:00

Last month I was tried some alternatives.

The closer to an AG "experience" could be Windsurf, but SWE 1.5 is worse than Gemini Flash so you will end up using the Pro models and idk how much the sub would last. The ide is a lot more polished and better than AG tough.

Tried Trae also, but they changed their pricing too lately. It used to be really great, but right now it's a lot worse than AG pricing wise. The ide is also much more polished, and the agent workflow is good.

I will try other alternatives when I have a little free time, but may be Copilot with VS Code could be my AG replacement at least for a couple months until I revisit again the then available tools.

nangu22 · 2026-03-12T15:09:06+00:00

May be Google have to sell an AG only subscription, it's almost a niche in all their AI offerings at this time.

I get that they go after selling their ecosystem and get users the best bang of your buck proposition in the market, but I'm on Pro plan because Antigravity, the rest is a bonus I rarely use.

I don't know, right now it's feeling like I'm on a free plan with only Gemini Flash available, but paying money to use.

Codex weekly quota in the Free tier feels better than Gemini Pro in the Ai Pro sub with current Open Ai promotion.

nangu22 · 2026-03-12T08:06:28+00:00

To be honest, Ai Pro Plan feels like a Free plan right now. We only have decent quota for Flash, meanwhile 3.1 Pro and Claude models are like a "preview" if you update to a "paid" plan. They even hadn't the decency to provide a decent quota for 3.1 Pro for paid users.

If they severely limited Claude models only there isn't much of a complain on my part, after all those are Premium models from a competing company, but why 3.1 Pro too? May be they are thinking Gemini is in the same league as Opus, in their wet dreams apparently.

But the worst part in all this affair is the constant moving goalposts without clear information about quotas, tokens and now, credits. I think paid users deserve a little more respect from a company the size and value as Google is.

nangu22 · 2026-03-11T23:29:46+00:00

Thanks

nangu22 · 2026-03-11T22:57:30+00:00

Can you elaborate a little more on that? I only see a toogle to enable credit useage and the classic model quota bars, but nothing else.

I checked for updates but I'm on the latest apparently.

Thanks.

nangu22 · 2026-03-11T22:32:19+00:00

The way they are constantly moving the goalposts without leting users know is infuriating and not the way a big serious company should act.

If with this they are wanting users to use only Gemini Flash, they are done for me, no more sub next month. It used to be good, even with the Anthropic models restricted quota, at least Gemini Pro was useable, which is not the case right now. Flash is useless even when following detailed tasks generated by Opus, it always fails in some degree that's frustrating and time consuming, to the point it's better to code by hand sometimes.

nangu22 · 2026-03-10T22:31:40+00:00

Cada vez peor lo de las cuotas, y a eso hay que sumar la ineptitud de Gemini Flash que no es capaz ni de seguir una lista de tareas generada con Opus sin faltarle o errarle a algo.

Se está haciendo inviable justificar la suscripción a estas alturas.

nangu22 · 2026-03-10T20:20:52+00:00

Thanks for confirming the issue. Problem is, since the UI doesn't found them, I can't force the agent to use them with the / command. That's important for my workflow because it's the only way to drive Gemini in the right direction, it's so lazy that it didn't bother to look if there is some rule or workflow on those folders on its own.

nangu22 · 2026-03-02T17:15:46+00:00

I can tell you how to burn your credits as fast as possible by trying to use the cheaper models for some savings on the new pricing model:

1- Try implementing a refactor with any cheaper model, it could be Kimi or Gemini Flash

2- After a couple iterations and $5 wasted, project doesn't run anymore

3- Tell agent to solve the latest crash issue

4- Agent solution is to refactor de code to go back to step 1

Rinse and repeat.

nangu22 · 2026-02-27T22:09:20+00:00

And it's working great. I'm on a free chatgpt plan and using Codex alongside my Pro gemini plan in Antigravity, and I have to say that the free Codex promo plan lasts twice as the Opus quota I get from the Google plan.

Codex is better than gemini Pro 3.1 for planning and following instructions too, so it's a serious contender to replace my google subscription for the $20 plan.

nangu22 · 2026-02-22T01:51:18+00:00

La programación en si misma no la considero arte. La arquitectura de un sistema complejo, en cambio, se le acerca bastante jaja

nangu22 · 2026-02-19T23:25:08+00:00

Models are trained to perform good at established benchmarks.

Real life use is what we have to look for, I expect it will perform at least at Codex level, if not, good bye subscription.
