What Warp is

Warp replaces the terminal itself rather than running inside one, and ships that client as open source — AGPL v3, with the `warpui_core` and `warpui` crates under MIT.

“Warp's UI framework (the `warpui_core` and `warpui` crates) are licensed under the [MIT license](LICENSE-MIT). · The rest of the code in this repository is licensed under the [AGPL v3](LICENSE-AGPL).”

What Warp costs

Warp is $0 on Free, $20 per month on Build, $200 per month on Max and $50 per user per month on Business; annual billing takes Build to $18 and Max to $180.

“Start free and scale as your team grows. Simple, transparent pricing with no surprises.”

warp.dev/pricing

The Max plan includes 18,000 credits, 12 times the usage included with Build.

“18,000 credits (12× the included usage of Build)”

Use Warp when

Keep the CLI agent you already use and change only the terminal: Warp runs Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI beside its own agent.

“[Warp](https://www.warp.dev) is an agentic development environment, born out of the terminal. Use Warp's built-in coding agent, or bring your own CLI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and others).”

github.com/warpdotdev/warp

Budget one developer's agent spend to a flat $20 a month: the Build plan includes 1,500 credits, which Warp prices at $20 of agent usage at API rates.

“1,500 credits ($20 of included agent usage at API rates)”

warp.dev/pricing

Roll out to a team of up to 25 with SAML single sign-on and admin data controls, at $50 per user per month.

“For teams scaling AI-powered development (up to 25 seats)”

Not the right fit for

A developer who wants a small binary and a local model should pick Crush or goose; Warp is a full desktop terminal with a cloud account behind it.

“A native desktop app for macOS, Linux, and Windows. A full CLI for terminal workflows. An API to embed it anywhere. Built in Rust for performance and portability.”

What Warp is bad at

On the free plan you cannot switch telemetry off and keep the AI; only paid plans can opt out and still use it.

“Telemetry must be enabled to use AI features on the Free plan, while paid plans can opt out at any time and continue using Warp, including AI.”

docs.warp.dev/support-and-community/privacy-and-security

Warp still will not talk to a local model: the request to support Ollama has been open since 2024-02-26 and carries 1,427 reactions, the most of any issue across these twelve tools.

“Make Warp work with Local Language Models (like Ollama models)”

github.com/warpdotdev/warp

It is heavy for a terminal you leave open: the memory-usage issue has been open since 2023-02-05 with 126 comments.

“High Memory Usage”

Security and data handling

Zero data retention covers only the Business and Enterprise plans; on those, Warp collects no AI interaction or console data.

“Business and Enterprise plans are covered by our Zero Data Retention (ZDR) agreement. No AI interaction or console data is ever collected.”

How we check this page

  • Machine facts. Stars, licence, the newest commit on the default branch, the latest stable release and download counts are read straight from the GitHub API and from npm, PyPI, Homebrew and the VS Code Marketplace. Each one shows the day it was last confirmed, not the day this page was built. A failed fetch keeps the old value and its old date rather than overwriting it.
  • Judgments. Every claim about what a tool suits, what it is bad at and what it costs is quoted from a page we read, and that page is linked beside the claim. If there is no link, we did not write the claim.
  • What we do not publish. No score out of five and no star rating. Every other claim here traces to a source, and a number we could not justify would undermine the ones that can.
  • This tool. Every claim carries the URL it came from and a verbatim quote from that URL, read on 2026-08-19.
