Pick Amp if…
Amp suits developers looking for an agent that can work in local or cloud environments and connect to code editors and GitHub. Teams may find its shared workspace threads relevant; users needing self-hosting should note that it is not offered.
Pick Claude Code if…
Claude Code may suit developers who want a coding agent with terminal and codebase access, and who use one of its listed IDEs. It is available through Pro and Max plans, not the Free plan.
