Short answer: Google Antigravity is a free IDE (a VS Code fork) that orchestrates several agents in parallel inside the Google ecosystem, with access to Gemini models and, on the Ultra tier, third-party models, but with quota that resets weekly or every 5 hours depending on the plan. Verboo Code is a terminal CLI with dedicated GPU in Brazil, fixed price and unlimited tokens on every plan, running open models like GLM-5.2. If you already live inside the Google ecosystem and want to orchestrate several agents in one IDE without worrying about quota, stay on Antigravity. If a long or multi-agent session has already stalled on a rate limit, or you want a fixed, predictable budget, that is where Verboo Code comes in, though here you can't keep Antigravity and just swap the engine underneath: it's one tool or the other.
Antigravity and Verboo Code side by side
| Attribute | Google Antigravity | Verboo Code |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Full IDE (VS Code fork) with Agent Manager, orchestrates up to 5 agents in parallel | Terminal CLI, one agent per session |
| Billing model | No subscription of its own: free with weekly quota, or bundled into Google AI Pro/Ultra, quota renews every 5h | Fixed-price subscription, unlimited tokens within the plan |
| Entry price | Free (individual) · Google AI Pro US$ 19.99/mo · Ultra US$ 99.99 to 199.99/mo | Junior R$ 99/mo |
| Available models | Gemini 3.8 Flash (default) and Gemini 3.1 Pro on every plan; third-party models on the Ultra tier | 11 open models (GLM-5.2, DeepSeek V4, Kimi K2.7, and others), switch with /model |
| Context | 1M tokens on Gemini 3.8 Flash | 1M tokens on almost every model (exception: qwen3.8-27b, 262k) |
| Infrastructure | Google Cloud | Dedicated GPU, server in Brazil |
| OpenAI-compatible endpoint | Not accepted: no official setting to point at an external provider | Exposes its own OpenAI-compatible router, ready for any client to point at |
| Best isolated benchmark | 76.2% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Firecrawl, Aug/2026) | 81.0% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 (GLM-5.2, Z.ai, Jun/2026) |
When Antigravity is the right choice
- You already live inside the Google ecosystem (Workspace, Google Cloud) and want everything on the same account.
- You want to orchestrate several agents in parallel inside one IDE, with the Agent Manager coordinating up to 5 at once.
- You need to verify frontend work visually: the embedded Chromium browser runs it and shows the result before you accept it.
- You want to try it for free, no card, even if the quota is weekly and limited.
When Verboo Code is the right choice
- You've already felt Antigravity's rate limit stall a long session or a multi-agent run.
- You want a fixed, predictable budget every month, with no quota that resets every 5 hours or weekly.
- You prefer a plain terminal, no IDE fork, keeping the editor you already use.
- You want an open model on dedicated GPU with a server in Brazil, priced in Brazilian reais.
Discussion: what Antigravity's "free" hides
On Terminal-Bench 2.1, Antigravity scored 76.2% running Gemini 3.5 Flash, against 74.6% for Claude Code with Opus 4.8, according to a Firecrawl survey updated on August 3, 2026. GLM-5.2, the strongest model available on Verboo Code today, closes at 81.0% on the same benchmark, per Z.ai's official launch on June 13, 2026, ahead of both. But the comparison has a gap: Google already replaced Gemini 3.5 Flash with Gemini 3.8 Flash as Antigravity's default (the general model since September 2, 2026) and hasn't published a fresh Terminal-Bench 2.1 number for it yet. And Antigravity's Ultra tier also unlocks third-party models, which gives access to the market's highest ceiling inside the same subscription, without managing a separate API key. That's a real flexibility advantage that Verboo Code, with an open-model-only lineup, doesn't have.
Except "free" on Antigravity comes with a rate limit. According to the same Firecrawl analysis, paying subscribers report that "rate limits are a slap in the face," and the free plan's quota only resets once a week. That weighs heaviest exactly on the feature that makes Antigravity worth it: orchestrating several agents in parallel multiplies token consumption inside the same time window, so the most ambitious session is the one that hits the quota fastest.
Google Antigravity doesn't sell its own subscription: access is free for individuals, or comes bundled into Google AI Pro (US$ 19.99/mo) or Ultra (US$ 99.99 to US$ 199.99/mo), with quota that climbs by tier but never becomes unlimited. Verboo Code charges a fixed price with unlimited tokens on any plan, from Junior at R$ 99/mo to Ultra at R$ 1,299/mo. What varies between Verboo Code's open models isn't a ceiling, it's speed: a heavier model processes more slowly, rate-limited by model weight, not by a quota that runs out.
Antigravity has no official setting to point at an external OpenAI-compatible provider. Neither the documentation nor the official Google AI Developers forum mentions this option, and the request remains an open community feature request: today only unofficial proxies exist that intercept Antigravity's internal API to inject other models into it, the opposite direction of what we'd need here. So, unlike Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot, you can't keep Antigravity and just swap the engine underneath. Anyone who wants Verboo Code's unlimited tokens has to actually migrate, trading the IDE for a terminal CLI: npm install -g @verboo/code, guided login on first use, and switch models anytime with /model.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use Antigravity with Verboo Code's engine underneath?
No. Antigravity has no official setting to point at an external OpenAI-compatible provider, confirmed in the documentation and the official Google AI Developers forum as of September 2026. To use Verboo Code's open models, the path is running Verboo Code itself as a terminal CLI.
Does Antigravity have unlimited tokens?
No. The free plan has a weekly quota, and the Google AI Pro and Ultra plans renew quota every 5 hours, more generous by tier but never unlimited. Verboo Code charges a fixed price with unlimited tokens on any plan.
Which scores higher on benchmarks, Antigravity or Verboo Code's open models?
On Terminal-Bench 2.1, Antigravity running Gemini 3.5 Flash scored 76.2% (Firecrawl, Aug/2026), against 81.0% for GLM-5.2 on Verboo Code (Z.ai, Jun/2026). But Google already switched its default model to Gemini 3.8 Flash without publishing a new number, and Antigravity's Ultra tier gives access to third-party models that beat both.
Is Antigravity really free?
There's a no-cost individual plan, but with a weekly quota and rate limits reported as aggressive even by those paying for Pro or Ultra. There's no subscription of Antigravity's own: paid access comes bundled into Google AI Pro or Ultra.
If what's stalling your multi-agent session isn't the model's intelligence but a quota that resets, Verboo Code fixes that with unlimited tokens at a fixed price, running on dedicated GPU in Brazil.
