Ah, thanks for the pricing link. I saw 'Kiro is free to use during preview' or similar and assumed pricing is hidden. At $39/month, is 3000 interactions a high

Ah, thanks for the pricing link. I saw 'Kiro is free to use during preview' or similar and assumed pricing is hidden. At $39/month, is 3000 interactions a high limit? I use Claude Code on the $30 plan (I think), and routinely hit limits. I'm not ready to jump to the next tier, though. I think it's $200/month, and the NGO I work for isn't prepared to throw that kind of cash at developers (I'm second-rate here; the science comes first)

CC have $20 and $100 and a $200 tiers

  Right, thank you. I pay ~$30 CAD, but the other tier is $200 USD. I should just sick to USD.

It's hard to directly compare, but 3000 interactions should be very, very high. Think of each of these 3000 interactions as you supplying a prompt that potentially runs for 3-5 minutes of Kiro iterating away on writing code. With appropriately sized prompts (most likely aided by spec mode), you could write a ridiculous amount of code. For reference 3000 interactions * assumed 3 mins of AI work per interaction / 60 mins per hour / 8 working hours per day equals 18.75 working days of nonstop back to back AI coding. Typical month has 20-23 working days. But realistically you likely won't be using Kiro nonstop all day back to back, so 3000 interactions per month should more than cover your work month.

  Thanks, this is exactly what I wondered. In practical terms I can’t imagine hitting that limit. It’s a bit more than I pay in CAD, but I’d pay quite a bit more just to stop hitting the limits I have with Claude, even if the rest of the service was identical. It’s a pain. My usage is also very bursty so I spend several days getting no usage, then repeatedly hit limits while I brainstorm and spec things out. I’m thinking out loud here in case it’s useful feedback. It seems like a great pricing schemes for my use case.
