AntigravityContinueChoose Google Antigravity if you are developers who want to try the most agentic IDE experience available today. Choose Continue if you are developers who want full control over their AI coding assistant.
In our editorial scoring, Google Antigravity leads in 3 of six categories (output quality, autonomy and speed), while Continue leads in 2 (reliability and value). On price, Google Antigravity runs free public preview and is proprietary; Continue runs free (byo api key) and is open source.
Antigravity is Google's agentic development platform, launched alongside Gemini 3: a VS Code-style IDE where an agent manager dispatches agents that work across the editor, terminal, and a Chrome browser they control — producing verifiable artifacts (plans, screenshots, browser recordings) as they go. The free public preview and Gemini 3 Pro quality made it an instant heavyweight, but it's still early: capacity limits, preview rough edges, and early prompt-injection concerns around the browser-control surface mean production teams should keep a human on the loop.
Continue is an open-source AI coding assistant that works as an extension for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. It offers chat, autocomplete, and inline editing with full control over which models you use. Highly customizable with support for local models, cloud APIs, and custom context providers.
Both work with any OpenAI-compatible provider. Point the base URL at Standard Compute and get frontier-model compute with no usage limits from $39/mo flat — no per-token billing, no 429 rate limits.
