Kiro, an AI-powered IDE developed by Amazon AWS, has introduced paid subscription tiers after previously being free during preview. The pricing ranges from a limited free tier (50 vibe requests) to $200/month for the highest tier (2,250 vibe and 1,250 spec requests). The service now requires waitlist registration for new users and distinguishes between 'vibe' requests (general AI interactions) and 'spec' requests (workflow-specific tasks). Users who were previously on unlimited free access have been automatically moved to the restricted free tier.

<p>I used Kiro for about a month. They said it would be free until September 15th, yet my subscription stopped before that date. The only thing I like about Kiro is the spec-driven development, it’s very useful for quickly creating prototypes of your ideas. However, with the introduction of GitHub’s Spark (available to GitHub Copilot Pro users), which is similar to Kiro, I don’t think Kiro is as valuable anymore. I also encountered a lot of bugs in my code while using Kiro, but all of them were resolved once I switched to GitHub Copilot.</p>
