An Honest Review of Google Antigravity

Fabian Frank Werner on January 04, 2026

So, for the last year, if you wanted the best AI coding experience, you were paying $20 a month for Cursor. It’s been the king. But there is a new ...

  1. its not free. it comes with a tiny free quota, which gets exhausted in a flash. Soon they would tighten the quota.

  2. Cursor is much more mature, faster and understands what to do. It would take google an year+ to match the level

I used anti gravity on the second day after it launched and it was buggy as hell. On my second prompt, it basically told me "unable to connect, we're overcrowded" or something like that.

Maybe it has gotten better. I'll give it a retry.

Lol
.. it's buggy cuz it's over crowded?
I used it for last 3 weeks and it's been amazing, all code generated without problems or errors.
However I didn't use it for a proper backend.

Right Prompt, Right Instruction of what you want to do, without waffling, will give good answers in any Tool, whether it's Cursor or Antigravity. New Tool -> No Worries, do Some same projects basics implementation using full potential of new tool, then you will get to know about it. By considering bugs, issues you encountered you can easily solve upcoming milestones.

Have you subscribe Google AI, and use Antigravity with model of Opus 4.5?

Yes. I switched to Antigravity from cursor for this reason. I find Opus4.5 currently the best coding model and even connecting cursor to my anthropic account I was burning through a lot of tokens. On a Google AI ultra account I get more opus4.5 usage than I can use for a fixed monthly amount.
