Warp
A cross-platform terminal that runs Warp Agent and popular coding-agent harnesses in one developer workflow.
About Warp
Warp is a modern terminal and agentic development environment that puts command-line work and coding agents in one application. It runs Warp Agent alongside Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode, with plans, edits, files, code review, notifications, and streaming logs kept near the terminal workflow. The native app keeps core terminal functions available offline; AI and collaboration features use cloud services. Developers can bring their own AI inference on the Free plan. Paid tiers provide wider agent access, higher codebase indexing limits, more cloud-agent capacity, unlimited Warp Drive objects and collaboration, and longer cloud conversation storage. Warp is available for macOS, Linux, and Windows. The core terminal is free, but regular hosted-agent use is credit based: Build starts at $20 per month, Max at $200 per month, and Business at $50 per user per month. Privacy choices vary by tier. Free users must enable telemetry for AI features, while paid users can opt out and keep using AI. Warp fits developers who want an integrated agent workflow. Teams should account for usage-based spending, cloud dependence, and telemetry requirements before adopting it.
Best for
Best use cases
Running Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, or Warp Agent from the terminal
Delegating repository tasks that benefit from codebase indexing and permission controls
Sharing reusable command-line resources and retaining cloud conversations across a team
Compare before choosing
Free covers core terminal use but limits hosted agents, collaboration, Warp Drive, and cloud storage
Build adds 1,500 credits and broader agent access, while Max raises included usage to 18,000 credits
Business charges per user and targets teams of up to 25 seats that need shared administration
Features
Block-based terminal editing
Treat commands and their output as structured blocks, making terminal history easier to scan, select, and reuse.
Offline native terminal
Keep core terminal functions available without an internet connection in the native desktop application.
Configurable data controls
Manage telemetry from privacy settings; paid users can opt out while continuing to use AI features.
Pros
- The $0 Free tier provides the core terminal and supports bring-your-own AI inference, lowering the cost of evaluation.
- One terminal can run Warp Agent, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode, reducing workflow switching.
- Core terminal functions remain usable offline, and paid users can disable telemetry while retaining AI access.
Cons
- Hosted-agent use is credit-based on paid tiers, so sustained workloads can cost more than the starting monthly price.
- The Free tier limits cloud agents, Warp Drive, collaboration, and conversation storage, which may constrain regular use.
- AI use on the Free plan requires telemetry, a practical trust constraint for developers with strict data policies.
