Warp is an agentic development environment built around the terminal, combining a modern terminal interface with an AI agent (Warp Agent) that can plan, run commands, and hand off work between a developer's local machine and Warp's own cloud agent platform, Oz. Built by Warp, the client itself became open source on April 28, 2026, under the AGPL license, with OpenAI serving as the founding sponsor of the repository.
Who builds it
- Developed by Warp, with the client source published at github.com/warpdotdev/warp.
- Available on macOS (10.14+), Linux (via .deb, .rpm, .tar.zst, and AppImage for x64 and ARM64), and Windows (10/11 for x64 and ARM64).
- Cites integrations and partnerships with companies including Docker, Microsoft, and Stripe.
Core features
- Warp Agent: a harness offering multi-agent orchestration, model routing across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models, codebase indexing, and permission controls.
- Oz: cloud infrastructure for launching agents programmatically, via CLI, or from the terminal, with local-to-cloud handoff so agents can keep working when a developer's machine is off.
- Bring-your-own-key (BYOK) support is included even on the Free plan, alongside limited built-in AI inference.
- Since going open source, the client codebase itself is community-extensible under AGPL, while the UI framework (warpui_core and warpui) uses the more permissive MIT license.
Pricing
- Free: $0/month — modern terminal, bring-your-own AI inference, limited cloud agent access, limited collaboration and storage.
- Build: $20/month ($18/month billed annually) — 1,500 monthly credits, full Warp Agent access across OpenAI/Anthropic/Google models, reload credits at volume discounts, highest codebase indexing tier, unlimited collaboration, private email support.
- Max: $200/month ($180/month billed annually) — everything in Build plus 12x the credits (18,000/month) and discounted reload credits.
- Business: $50/user/month ($45/user/month billed annually, up to 25 seats) — everything in Build plus team usage metrics, admin-configurable data controls, and SAML-based SSO.
- Enterprise: custom pricing — unlimited seats, custom credit pools, advanced spend controls, bring-your-own-LLM, self-hosted agents, and dedicated account management.
Who it's for
Warp suits individual developers who want an AI-augmented terminal with a real free tier and BYOK flexibility, as well as teams and enterprises that need agents running both locally and in the cloud, usage-based credit scaling, and admin controls like SSO and spend management as usage grows. Its open-source client also appeals to developers who want to inspect, extend, or self-host the terminal itself rather than rely purely on a closed binary.
