Amazon Q Developer ships in two tiers: a perpetual Free Tier with monthly limits, and a Pro Tier at $19/mo. per user that raises those limits and adds admin features plus IP indemnity. Both tiers cover IDE plugins, CLI access, AWS Console Q&A, reference tracking, and suppression of public code suggestions.
The Free Tier is usable for evaluation and very light work; the Pro Tier is where the value sits for any team doing ongoing development or Java upgrades, because the 4,000 LOC/month allocation is pooled at the AWS payer-account level and overage charges only kick in past that pool.
