Amazon Q Developer+10 Mixed

Comparisons

How does Amazon Q Developer compare with the alternatives?

  1. Copilot is the one to buy: both team seats cost US$19 per user per month with IP indemnity in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Visual Studio, and Eclipse. Copilot adds GitHub.com agents and code review. Q Developer adds AWS console answers, takes no new sign-ups, and ends its IDE plugins on April 30, 2027.

  2. Pick Claude Code for new agent work, since Q Developer's IDE plugins retire on April 30, 2027. Practitioners compared the Q CLI, now Kiro CLI, with Claude Code for a year. Claude Code runs in the terminal, VS Code, JetBrains, desktop, and web, and an AWS shop can bill it to AWS through Amazon Bedrock.
