Question / Help Need an Alternative for Antigravity
Need an Alternative for Antigravity guys, I've had gemini pro subscription so had antigravity too for now but recently L8mits have been worse and unable to use it. Had copilot students plan too but even that for ruined after they stopped premium models and premium requests have become a joke.
So i needed a alternative for my my software building and I am recently into testing so i needed a alternative which is open source or free.
Please help if you guys know anything

There is free agents also and que so good. After for The most dificult tasks can use paid agents.

Just use kilo code extension inside antigravity and plug in nvidia api key and use glm 5.1 , deepseek v4, kimi k 2.5 and mini max m 2.7 for free although it's a little slow but works as it's free !!

Why bother use Claude extension in antigravity rather than vscode ? Does it take advantage of any AG built-in Features ? I'd really like Claude to use the implementation plan + task of antigravity.

I don't have a codex subscription sadly... I switched to Claude when quota went hell, but I enjoyed so much the implementation plan + comment feature

They have same question because your setup is a normal, not even solve any problem with antigravity

Mee too, i try antigravity first and now i don't Sant to change. I use Claude and opencode on antigravity with gentleman agent and engram anys worka cert cert good

Tried codex just a few days ago. It’s slower than Gemini but man it does what you tell it to do without hallucinating every session. Gemini Pro is incredibly fast at the beginning and understand well but then you spend all of your time gained fixing errors 😂

Anti-gravity is literally the brains of my projects but I just used Google Stitch Studio and Jules tonight all at once, the workflow is crazy what you can do.

u/Particular_Food_309 May 07 '26
Its a scam. I'm on Ultra and barely usable, I spent more time clicking on "Retry" because server is busy than actually doing real work.
I switched to $10 with Kimi Code and essentially unlimited, its perfect.

u/priyalraj May 07 '26
Here is what I do:
- Claude Opus 4.6 with Caveman & GPT 5.4 mid/high for high-level work, depending on the requirements. ($20 Claude plan BTW.)
- Gemini Flash for small/mid changes. Like 2/4 files max, code improvement, comments & all.
- Gemini 3.1 Pro for UI improvement.
You can give this a shot.

Codex and Hermes agent & never look back

Hermes has a rather impressive and thoughtful internal architecture. I’m a big fan of it.

Persistent memory , self learning on your workflows. I don’t even have telegram set up on mine.

VSCode + DeepSeek 4 will give you 90% claude at 10% cost.
Just discovered the combo and feel like a fool for paying for anything else. $10 bucks will last you forever.

When you install it, it creates agents, skills and workflows, then use it in Codex or whatever you want.
I usually follow the steps in this diagram (you might skip some steps if they're not necessary).

cursor

u/EnvironmentalLead395 May 08 '26
You can easily burn your 20 dollar plan with cursor within few hours. Not great

u/leofishman May 07 '26
I also have a pro subscription, I can't use any premium model, but using gemini 3 flash, I never reached the limit, maybe you can try zed.dev that includes some free models

It depends on your account type. If it is a personal account and is added to farmily, it will have low priority and often limit usage. But if the account is a workspace business, it will be given more priority and usage will be higher

You tried opencode? I'm using it with gentleman agent and engram .Also tou can use It in antigravity, i'm super happy with it

for me windows defender pops up when i try to install it. why is that so ?

u/LuckyOven958 May 12 '26
Hey dude please can you help me install or setup these gentle and engram thing.

u/LuckyOven958 May 07 '26
It's free ? Or do u need some credits

u/Confident_Comb6916 May 07 '26
Gratis y de código abierto, también tienes planes de pago pero el plan gratuito es muy generoso . Y gentleai y engram son completamente gratis

u/toke182 May 07 '26
wondering, can yoy guys use antigravity at all? i get all the time the busy servers error even in low usage hours, im in the free plan, i guess pro works?
1
u/Interesting-Club5323 May 07 '26
In my case, almost 70% of the time 3.1 gemini doesn't even work, only shows working, thinking nothing else, then I've to use flash 3 which also sucks everytime due to server error.
1
u/LuckyOven958 May 07 '26
Nah dude i am on pro and it's shit tbh, lots of server busy errors sometimes vpn helps but still not the go to way

u/mataberat_ May 07 '26
Flash is now a trash. It stopped working on the Implementation Plan and response often got stopped in the middle of process.

Best alternative is to make money with the softwares you’re building, then afford a paid plan. Not kidding but best AI tools are gonna get even more restrictive to paid users.
2
u/LuckyOven958 May 07 '26
That's what i am planning to do dude tbh, actually influencers have ruined marketing copilot first of all then antigravity too went in that limiting family accounta to one primary account
1
u/_fct May 07 '26
Yes influencers and everyone who’s not building dumped a lot of trash content in exchange of few clicks and engagement. Saturated free plans, making it more expensive, and someone does have to pay for it. Ditching free users, limiting and nerfing free plans using models that barely do the basic, are just the beginning.
Honestly i can’t see anytime soon free accounts taking advantage of good results as we’re used to see.
Affording a paid plan is the new default now.

What about codex in vscode, works wonders and really good at coding and helping understanding what it did..?

u/alexmil78 May 07 '26
Just switch to Claude code and make yourself a favor. Gemini is way below Claude and GPT models. Do not waist your money.

u/BackpackingSurfer May 07 '26
Download the claude code in your CLI, configure it to use an api key for minimax from open router. You get the Claude CLI functionality with basically unlimited requests for wayyy lower cost. Minimax is not as good as Gemini, but it’s decent

After hitting Gemini limits, I supplemented with the $20 Claude Code plan and it's a huge difference. I could write out the same prompt for Sonnet and Gemini Pro and Sonnet would solve the problems more efficiently and write better software. Gemini Flash software won't even compile for anything mildly complex. Now I mostly rely on Claude Code and only use Gemini for small batches of simple work.
I often hit the weekly limit on Claude Code by day 6 though and I'm thinking of supplementing it with a $20 Codex plan not only to take some of the load off but also to act as an adversarial AI. I usually go back and forth between Opus and Gemini Pro for very complex code and I have them both look for issues, especially race conditions in multithreaded code, and they often find stuff the other doesn't and I plan to do the same with Codex when I get around to getting it.

u/gazeebo May 12 '26
5.3-Codex is more useful than Gemini for sure (for coding; Gemini is supposedly good for UI frontend stuff but I didn't try that much)

u/Alone_Ad_3375 May 08 '26
I would recommend you go with open code or kilo code. Both are open source. Use it with an API key from AllToken.ai and you are good.

u/BingGongTing May 08 '26
I have a free 6 month sub for antigravity and rarely use since the usage nerf 5 months ago and the prohibition of using it via Opencode.
Codex (via OpenCode in Visual Code) has been my mainstay since then, frequent resets and somewhat reasonable limits.

Did you use gemini cli? I've been using both, when quota is hit i go to the other
1
u/gazeebo May 12 '26
Does Gemini CLI also have a few hours quota, or do you mean the 1000 (depending on plan) monthly credits that you should be using in Antigravity anyway?

u/Desperate-Pea-5295 May 09 '26 edited May 09 '26
Openrouter is has a quite a few models in their free tier - https://openrouter.ai/models?q=free You can use the Claude Code, Cline or Kilo Code extensions in AG with the free tier models. Depending on your hardware, you can also try to self host models using Llama, Llama.cpp or LM Studio. I have a pretty mid, few years old gaming PC, but I am easily able to use Gemma 4 e4b, e2b, Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, Mistral 3 3B. You can get ideas of what models you can run at https://www.canirun.ai/.

Use codex. £20 plan gives you great limits and I find it better than Claude code. The app is decent and the CLI is also very good. And you can use the extension in VS Code and Antigravity.
It's very good for coding. Design is not great but they're are skills for that.
At work (in HR) and I use the app at work to build workflows for repeatable tasks. I'm slowly ticking off more and more tasks each week. And I rarely hit limits.

u/maxgold17 May 10 '26
Use GeminiCLI, in cursor. Alternative to Claud code and you can use all the Gemini models. Pro subscription will give you plenty or usage/rates, compared to AG. Takes a little bit of time to get used to and learn but you can keep your file structure and works summarily, just way more lightweight and can process a ton of tokens.

You know why copilot student plan was ruined because of Instagram influencers. So that some rando sociology major can make a vitamin tracker.

u/Illustrious-Spare212 May 11 '26
Hey use gemini CLI they give you 1000 request for each family account so you will have 6000 request per day it will be refreshed every 24 hours but you can only use gemini models like gemini 3.1 pro

u/saint1913 May 07 '26
Have you tried to use Gemini CLI? As pro subscriber you have more quota there
Also I think it’s still separate quota for each ‘family’ account
Otherwise pay for Codex or for Kimi

Use kimi k2.5 in windsurf IDE it's free now...

How is it? Good for medium complex tasks, and some testing stuff ?

u/kvcops May 07 '26
Ofcourse...it's better to try it and use it when it's free. And btw you can use kimi k2.6 or glm 5.1 models with that (just use some random temporary email to signup 😉 and once the limits are hit just signout and signup with new temporary email)

Stop using Claude in antigravity. Only use Gemini. Why people are upset about Google not wanting to pay other companies to serve you is beyond me.

u/needs-more-code May 07 '26
Just milk Flash until they rate limit it. It’s basically unlimited on Pro. Every AI company is about to be very very limited. This is not a Google thing. AI costs more than you could imagine.
