TL;DR

  • future Gemini spend on Antigravity CLI: about $20/month ($240/year).
  • Freebuff CLI: $0/month with models and subagents included.
  • Net savings: $240/year before API or credit overages.
  • Modeled example — your usage may differ.

Terminal agents are where subscription and token costs add up fastest. Here is the math for Antigravity CLI vs Freebuff CLI — not a fabricated testimonial, but the switch we see often.

The bill on future Gemini spend#

Antigravity is free at launch but Gemini-powered; long-term pricing is TBD. Budget ~$20/mo equivalent in API or future seat fees for planning. For this example: $20/month or $240/year.

Three-step switch#

  2. 2Install Freebuff: npm i -g freebuff
  3. 3Cancel Antigravity CLI billing once you have verified Freebuff on your repos.

Stop paying $20/mo
