*Usage for Amazon Q Developer Agent for software development is tracked across all usage types, and the limits are shared at the user level across the IDE and CodeCatalyst. A task is considered any prompt provided to the /dev command in the IDE, or assigned to Amazon Q in CodeCatalyst. Usage is only tracked for tasks where Amazon Q Developer Agent provides an implementation plan in the IDE, or generates a pull request in CodeCatalyst.

**Amazon Q Developer Agent for code transformation is available to Amazon Q Developer Free Tier and Professional Tier users. Pricing charges and usage are calculated against limits based on the number of lines of code (LOC) that you submit to Amazon Q and for which you receive back suggested upgrade code. Submissions where you stop the job before completion or when a failure is encountered during the upgrade are not included (and no code suggestion is generated). Noncode lines in repositories such as comments and empty lines are not counted.

You can get started with Amazon Q Developer Agent for code transformation at no cost as part of the Amazon Q Developer Free Tier. Free Tier users can upgrade 1,000 LOC per month, per user. If your code exceeds this limit, consider submitting a smaller buildable unit, like a module, or subscribe to the Amazon Q Developer Pro Tier for higher allocation limits and pay-per-use upgrades.

Amazon Q Developer Pro subscriptions are allocated 4,000 LOC per month for upgrades using Amazon Q Developer Agent for code transformation. These allocations are aggregated at the AWS payer-account level every month. Thus, if you have 100 active Amazon Q subscriptions across all your linked AWS accounts, you can upgrade 40,000 LOC per month before incurring additional charges. Usage that exceeds this allocation is charged $0.003 per LOC upgraded.

***Subscriptions are not available in the AWS Console Mobile Application, AWS Chatbot, or AWS marketing pages. Chat interactions through these are exclusively governed by Free Tier limits.

Amazon Q Developer will offer a perpetual Free Tier with monthly limits available to anyone logged in as an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user or AWS Builder ID user.

  • Free Tier limits in the IDE are available only to Builder ID users.
  • Free Tier limits apply at the account level when logged in as an IAM user, or at the user level for AWS Builder ID users.
  • Only users with access to the console can use the Amazon Q Developer Free Tier limits in the console. 
  • Builder ID users do not currently have access to the console. 
  • Chat interactions through the AWS Console Mobile Application, AWS Chatbot, and AWS marketing and documentation pages are currently exclusively governed by Free Tier limits.

Members with subscriptions linked to an organization with IAM Identity Center benefit from Pro Tier limits at the user level. There are no current plans for a free trial.

Amazon Q Developer Agent for code transformation

Example 5:

Consider an organization with 10 Amazon Q Developer Pro subscriptions, and each user has been subscribed for the entire month. Each Amazon Q Developer Pro subscription offers access to Amazon Q Developer Agent for code transformation and includes 4,000 LOC for upgrade per month.

In January, one of the developers upgrades five Java applications, each with 2,500 LOC.
Code upgraded = 2,500 x 5 = 12,500 LOC
Upgrades included with the subscriptions = 10 x 4,000 = 40,000 LOC
Since the usage does not exceed the allocation, the organization will not be charged for Amazon Q Developer Agent for code transformation.

Example 6:

Now consider an organization with 20 Amazon Q Developer Pro subscriptions, and each user has been subscribed for the entire month.

  • This organization starts an upgrade campaign to upgrade 50 applications in a month.
  • The total code size of all applications to be upgraded is 250K lines of code.
  • Upgrades included with the subscriptions = 4,000 x 20 = 80,000 LOC
  • Charges for upgrades exceeding the allocation = (250,000 - 80,000) x $0.003 = $510
