Kiro pricing: $9,600/year for a 20-person team

How much does Kiro cost?

$9,600/year for a 20-person product team

Checked 26 October 2026 · our arithmetic on published units · 20 seats

Kiro costs $9,600/year for a 20-person team (20 seats), checked 26 October 2026 — our arithmetic on published units.

Pro+ at $40 per user/month is where spec-heavy teams land, because Pro's 1,000 credits/month do not survive repeated spec refinement and task execution. 20 users on Pro+ = $9,600/year, with overages at $0.04 per credit; staying on Pro would be $4,800/year. SSO, centralised billing and usage analytics require the enterprise plan, purchased through AWS and quote-only.

What does Kiro cost for a 20-person team?

$9,600/year a year at 20 seats, checked 26 October 2026 — our arithmetic on published units. Kiro — Kiro is AWS's agentic IDE and web agent that turns a written spec into requirements, design and tracked implementation tasks. Your spec becomes the executable artefact engineers work from, so scope drift between PRD and pull request is visible rather than discovered at demo.

Does Kiro publish pricing?

Only in units. Kiro publishes per-seat or per-unit rates but no org-level figure, so the number above is our own arithmetic on those published units for 20 seats.
