Kiro offers five distinct service tiers designed to meet different development needs: Kiro Free, Kiro Pro, Kiro Pro+, Kiro Pro Max, and Kiro Power. Each tier provides progressively more capabilities.

New Kiro users automatically start at the perpetual Kiro Free tier.

Credits are consumed fractionally based on each request. Simple edits and shorter prompts will use fewer credits than complex, lengthy tasks. This means that fractional credits allow you to get more value from your credit allocation.

Billing practices

Note the following billing practices when you subscribe, downgrade, unsubscribe, and use add-on credits.

First-time upgrade from Free

If you are on the Kiro Free tier, have never upgraded before, and upgrade to a paid tier mid-month, you are charged a prorated fee but immediately get access to your new plan's full credit limits. For example, if you subscribe to Pro on April 15th, you'll be charged half the subscription fee and receive all of the credits for that tier.

Tip

New users upgrading from Free for the first time receive a $20 credit applied toward their first paid subscription.

If you upgrade again within the same first month (for example, from Pro to Pro+ on April 20th), you'll get backdated prorated fees and access to the full credit limits of the higher tier, as if you directly upgraded to Pro+ on April 15th. After that initial month, you'll be charged the full amount.

Upgrading between paid tiers

If you are on any paid tier and upgrade to a higher tier, you are charged a retroactive fee for the entire month based on the price difference. For example, upgrading from Pro to Pro+ charges you the subscription fee difference, and Kiro recalculates the entire month's usage under the new tier's credits.

If you purchased add-on credits before upgrading, they remain in your balance. After the upgrade, Kiro uses your new plan's higher credit allocation first, so your add-on credits are preserved for future use rather than being consumed immediately.

Info

If you're on a paid tier, switch to the Kiro Free tier, and then switch back to a paid tier, the payment behavior will be the same as above. Note that downgrades take effect in the following month and upgrades are effective immediately.

Downgrading

If you downgrade from a higher tier to a lower tier mid-month, you are charged the full fee for the current month. For example, if you downgrade from Pro+ to Pro on June 2nd, you'll be charged the full Pro+ subscription fee for June. From July onward, you will be charged the Pro fee.

Credit reset

For all tiers, your usage cap renews at the beginning of the next billing cycle.
