Looking to move away. Are You Staying?

Google Antigravity

I’m not sure if I’m the only one who’s been debating this, but Antigravity is neat… however, the last two months of updates have been full of bugs. Even right now there’s another one (Cannot freeze array buffer views with elements) that started after the recent update.

And this isn’t the first time. Every update seems to break something that previously worked, or introduces a new issue. Ironically, that’s actually the exact experience I have when using Gemini as a model — it touches things it shouldn’t and breaks parts of the code that weren’t even relevant to the prompt.
Their benchmark maxing and not focusing on actual use case thats why opus feels better yet shows up under Gemini 3.1.

I’ve been using Opus 4.6 instead, and the difference in results is night and day. Maybe the Antigravity devs should think about using Opus too.:joy: They might get less issues!

But I digress.

Updates and instability in the software aren’t the only problems I’ve been dealing with. Google Pro is horrible. The limits are insane.

Ultra isn’t sustainable either. $125 for the first three months is already a stretch, but fine — whatever. But $250 a month after that? That’s insane. There’s no way people are planning to actually pay that… right?

Are others planning on moving their projects elsewhere?

I’m starting to debate whether $100 would be better spent on Anthropic Claude Code Desktop instead. Maybe Claude Code desktop or vscode extension. I was worried about losing Agent Manager, but then Antigravity goes and removes the Inbox feature…

Like… what?

We’re taking features out now?I can’t make this up.

I might be ranting here, but honestly I was loyal and really wanted them to succeed. They were supposed to be the chosen ones.

I need to start looking for alternatives, and I’m curious if others are planning to move as well — and what options people are considering.

I’m certainly considering canceling. I’m looking at Cline with OpenRouter. Anyone tried it?

I’m experiencing the exact same issue as you. For example, I started with the Pro Plan, and the limits were terrible; they ran out very quickly after just a few prompts. It forced me to wait a week for the next cycle, which is very unproductive. Then I switched to the Ultra Plan, which solved the limit problem. However, the $250 budget is excessive, and I couldn’t afford it for more than two months. Google should adopt a more generous approach for developers or create exclusive plans specifically for Antigravity, because I don’t actually use the 30TB of storage, I don’t use YouTube Premium, and I don’t generate images or videos; it’s just programming.

No I’ve already moved to codex pro plan ($200/mo) . Not only is the usage like antigravity was before the ridiculous slash to rate limits, but gpt 5.4 is superior in every way to gemini and beats claude in everything except for front end design. Easy switch. I will not be renewing my gemini ultra subscription next month, google pulling the rug and lowering quotas to this degree without saying a word is disgusting.

You know ironically the best thing Google ever did for me was pulling these shenanigans and forcing me to walk away from their walled garden that they insist to you is the only way to use AI.

Just try Roo code with an API key. There’s so much more out there for much cheaper. Check out the benchmarks for LLMs on Arena.ai. there’s a whole world of competent LLMs out there.
