I am on Google's $20/month plan, and I usually get about three half-hour coding sessions a week with AntiGravity using the Claude models. The limit using Gemini Pro models is much higher. I am retired so Google's $20 plan is sufficient for me, but I understand that people who are still working would need higher limits.

I am also on a $10/month plan with Nous Research for supplying open models for their open source Hermes Agent. I run Hermes inside a container, on a dedicated VPS as a coding agent for complex tasks and so far I find the $10/month plan is enough for about five to ten major tasks a month. I think it is also a good deal.
