Warp Terminal changes pricing model

Warp just smashed its pricing into one plan called Build: $20/month for 1,500 AI credits, cheaper reloads that roll over, and “bring your own key” (you can use your own AI API key). The old Pro, Turbo, and Lightspeed tiers are gone, Business mirrors Build at $50, and Warp says over half of users will pay the same or less. They argue this keeps the company sustainable long-term and fixes nasty overage costs. Full details in their announcement and pricing.

Now the drama: the top comment is pure fire, claiming Warp is “horribly broken right now” with weeks of bugs and failed features, especially over remote setups. Another user deadpanned, “Pricing model for a terminal. What a time to be alive,” then sighed with relief that core terminal features are still free across Windows, Mac, and Linux. One of the spiciest takes: folks can’t tell if Warp is a terminal or an AI code editor cosplay, with jokes about tapping “that sweet unlimited pile of AI cash.” Some praised the clear communication and pay-for-what-you-use approach, but others called it “pay more for less” after recent quality dips and flaky agents. The vibe: shell shock, mixed with memes like “is my command line on a subscription?” and a loud identity crisis over what Warp actually is
