Freebuff vs Google Antigravity: a full free day vs a weekly quota Google won’t size

Google shut Gemini CLI’s free service in June and pointed everyone to Antigravity, whose free plan is a weekly quota with no published size. Freebuff is free, every day.

In short

  • Our verdict: Freebuff. We make Freebuff, so weigh that, but every claim below links to a source you can check.
  • Antigravity’s free plan is a weekly quota with no number on it. Google promises "A meaningful quota, refreshed weekly" and "Basic weekly rate limits", and publishes no sizes.
  • Run out early in the week, and you wait days. Even Pro users reported multi-day lockouts, and a Google DeepMind lead said users could hit weekly limits "after a couple work sessions".
  • Antigravity scores 1.9 on Trustpilot, with 76% one-star reviews.
  • Freebuff is free for a full day of work, every day. Unlimited messages in every hour-long session, a published daily allowance with no monthly cap, and models that do not touch the allowance at all.

Antigravity is Google’s agent-first coding app, and since June 18, 2026 it is also where Gemini CLI’s free users were sent. It has real strengths, from parallel agents to a built-in browser. But its free plan is a weekly allowance whose size Google does not publish, and when it runs out you wait for next week. If you want a coding agent you can use every day for free, Freebuff is the better choice.

What Antigravity costs

Per Antigravity’s pricing, the free plan includes "Access to a variety of agent models", unlimited Tab completions and "Basic weekly rate limits". Its plans docs describe the free quota as "A meaningful quota, refreshed weekly", with no figures. Google AI Pro, at $19.99 a month, refreshes a larger quota every five hours until a weekly limit, and Ultra costs more for the largest quota.

On May 19, 2026, Google announced that Gemini CLI would "stop serving requests" for free and paid individual users on June 18, 2026, and moved them to Antigravity CLI. Two days later, 9to5Google reported that Google had tripled Antigravity’s limits twice in one week after complaints.

What Freebuff gives you for free

  • Unlimited messages in every session. A session lasts an hour, and the agent can read, edit, test and retry as many times as it needs inside it. One long task never locks you out for the week.
  • A published daily allowance with no monthly cap. Up to 30 hours a day in the US, and 21 in countries such as Canada, the UK and Germany. That is 10 hours a day of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, refilled every day, not every week.
  • Models that do not use it. Right now, Solar Mini 4 and Solar Pro 4 never touch your allowance, and new accounts in the US and other top-tier countries also get DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Fast without touching it.
  • It runs where you work. The CLI sits next to the editor you already use, and there is a desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux, the web workspace, and apps for iOS and Android.

What Antigravity users are saying

Antigravity’s Trustpilot page scores 1.9 out of 5 from 38 reviews, 76% of them one star. The complaints are mostly about limits and reliability:

  • Tiny free limits. Even a mostly positive September 2026 reviewer said the Free and Plus tiers are "heavily limited", with limits that are "very small and weekly only".
  • Locked out for days. In March 2026, PiunikaWeb reported Pro users hitting the weekly cap early: "you are actually waiting for days."
  • A couple of sessions a week. In May, a Google DeepMind lead acknowledged that users could hit their weekly limits "after a couple work sessions".
  • Forced off Gemini CLI. A June 2026 reviewer: "the Gemini CLI tool was perfectly good, why forcing us to use this Antigravity buggy, slow, inconsistent tool."
  • Crashes. An October 2026 reviewer who bought Google AI Pro for Antigravity reported two system freezes and asked for a refund: "It simply brought my productivity crashing down to Earth."
  • A deleted drive. In late 2025, Antigravity’s agent wiped a user’s entire drive while trying to clear a cache.

What Freebuff users are saying

For me probably one of the best inventions of the LLM era. I can’t describe how much benefits I got accessing these models for free

Where Antigravity is strong

Antigravity runs several agents in parallel, can drive a browser to check frontend work, keeps Tab completions unlimited on the free plan, and runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. Google also raised limits quickly after the May backlash. If you pay for Google AI Pro or Ultra already, it is a capable tool.

Our verdict

Pick Freebuff. Antigravity gives free users a weekly quota Google will not size, and when it runs out, you wait days. Freebuff gives you unlimited messages in every session and a published allowance that refills every day, in the terminal, on every desktop, in the browser and on your phone.

Questions

Is Google Antigravity free?
Antigravity has a free plan with a weekly quota, weekly rate limits and unlimited Tab completions. Google does not publish the quota’s size, and when it runs out you wait for the weekly refresh. Google AI Pro and Ultra get larger quotas that refresh every five hours.
Is Gemini CLI still free?
No. Google said Gemini CLI would stop serving requests for free and individual paid users on June 18, 2026, and moved them to Antigravity CLI.
What is the best free Antigravity alternative?
We think Freebuff, and we make it. It gives you unlimited messages in every hour-long session and a published daily allowance with no monthly cap, in the terminal, on Mac, Windows and Linux, in the browser and on iOS and Android.
How much can I use Freebuff for free?
Each session is an hour with unlimited messages. A free account gets up to 30 hours of allowance a day in the US (10 hours of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash), refilled daily, and right now Solar Mini 4 and Solar Pro 4 do not use the allowance at all.
