Kiro pricing: plans, credits and which steps use them
Kiro plans and credits, plus a real Kiro workflow showing which steps used the credits and why.
See how far each plan's credits go
A credit is Kiro’s billing unit: about $0.02 each when included in a plan, $0.04 each as extras (our reading of kiro.dev/pricing, 9 November 2026). Pro includes 1,000 credits a month and Power 10,000; for Free, see Kiro’s pricing page.

See which steps your credits went to
A turn is one time the model thinks and decides, and a tool call is an action such as a read. In our Kiro workflow, the busiest worker took 44 turns and 111 tool calls for 12.05 credits, against 7 turns and 1.07 credits for the step that split the list.

Find the step that kept the others waiting
In our workflow the work was split by count, not effort: the slowest worker took 436 seconds, about 100.7 seconds longer than the average worker (335 seconds).

Questions
What is a Kiro credit?
It is Kiro’s billing unit. On paid plans, included credits work out at about $0.02 each and extra credits cost $0.04 each (our reading of kiro.dev/pricing, 9 November 2026).

How does Kiro compare with Claude Code?
Kiro bills in credits and splits a job into workflow steps, while Claude Code counts use against 5-hour and weekly windows and hands side tasks to subagents; Kiro vs Claude Code sets the plans, features and real costs side by side.
How do I see which steps of a Kiro workflow used my credits?
Ask your agent for an agent analysis over MCP (the protocol agents use to call outside tools). It reads the trace of a Kiro workflow or a Claude Code session and shows what each step cost, which steps wasted credits or time, and why; on Pro and above, see agent evaluation.
