AWS faces backlash over pricing of its AI coding tool, Kiro, deemed too costly and complex for indie devs.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has faced criticism for new pricing on its AI coding tool, Kiro. Users complain about the cost and the structure, which includes a free tier with 50 vibe requests, a Pro plan at $20 with 225 vibe and 125 spec requests, a Pro+ plan, and a Power plan at $200. Additional requests cost extra, with vibe requests at $0.04 and spec requests at $0.20 each. Critics say it's too expensive and complex, making it hard for independent developers to access.
