# CrabiX vs Google Antigravity: model-agnostic agent app? > Use Google Antigravity when you want Google's agentic development platform, with an app, CLI, IDE, and SDK built around Gemini models. Use CrabiX when you want agents that run on any model you connect, including Claude, Codex, Gemini, and local models, with the same autonomy levels and approvals on all of them, plus AI Corp teams. Canonical: https://crabix.ai/compare/antigravity Markdown: https://crabix.ai/compare/antigravity.md Author: CrabiX Published: 2026-10-25 Last updated: 2026-10-25 Category: Comparison ## Key takeaways - Antigravity's page describes four surfaces: an app for managing multiple local agents, a CLI, an IDE, and a Python SDK; it names Gemini models and says it is available at no charge for individual developers. - CrabiX is not tied to one model vendor and runs agents on whichever providers you connect. - Both are built around managing several agents rather than one chat. - CrabiX costs $21 per month or $189 per year after a 7-day free trial and adds no markup on tokens. ## When is Antigravity the better choice? Antigravity is the better choice when you want Google's own agent platform with Gemini, a full agentic IDE, and no subscription for individual use. Its page lists an app for running multiple local agents in parallel, a terminal-first CLI with background subagents, an IDE with an agent manager and artifacts, and a Python SDK. It is listed for macOS, Windows, and Linux and is described as available at no charge for individual developers. ## When is CrabiX the better choice? CrabiX is the better choice when you want to choose the model per task and keep one set of rules for every agent, or when you want teams of agents with budgets. Agents run on Claude, Codex, Gemini, OpenRouter, or local models; routing strategies and fallback keep work going when a provider is limited. See [provider routing](/provider-routing). Autonomy levels from read-only to full access, approvals, queue and steer, and an execution trail are identical across models, and edits are diffs the app can undo. AI Corp adds goals, issues, routines, approvals, and monthly budgets for teams of AI employees. ## Can I use both? Yes. They do not conflict: Antigravity can be your agentic IDE, while CrabiX runs and controls agents across the other models and providers you use, working on the same project folder. CrabiX works on a project directly through Git, a file explorer, and a terminal, so changes appear in the same working tree. Whether Antigravity can use a custom model endpoint depends on its current version; check its documentation. ## How do the costs compare? Antigravity is described as available at no charge for individual developers, with organizations pointed to enterprise plans. CrabiX is $21 per month or $189 per year after a 7-day free trial, plus whatever your model providers charge. Check Google's page for current terms: [Antigravity](https://antigravity.google). CrabiX adds no markup on tokens; see [pricing](/pricing). ## Which should I pick, Antigravity or CrabiX? Pick by whether you want Google's IDE or a model-agnostic control app. Pick Antigravity if you want Google's agentic IDE with Gemini models, free for individual developers according to its page. Pick CrabiX if you want to choose the model per task and keep one rule set for every agent. Use both: Antigravity as the IDE, CrabiX to run and control agents on other models in the same project folder. ## What should I know before using CrabiX alongside Antigravity? CrabiX is not an IDE. It has no code editor of its own. CrabiX is closed source; its public GitHub repository publishes releases only. The 7-day free trial starts the first time you sign in to the desktop app. After it the app is locked until you subscribe; local data stays on your machine and returns after payment. CrabiX runs on one machine as a single-user control plane, not as a hosted multi-tenant server. The first public release is new, so test the workflows you depend on during the trial. ## How do I try CrabiX next to Antigravity? Run the same task in both on one repository. 1. Create a branch of a real project. 2. Run a task in Antigravity and the same task with a CrabiX agent on a different model. 3. Compare the results, the approvals you were asked for, and the cost. 4. Keep both if they complement each other; they share the working tree. ## CrabiX vs Google Antigravity at a glance | Feature | CrabiX | Google Antigravity | | --- | --- | --- | | Made by | VISIONER PTE.

Its overview page names Gemini models. Check Google's documentation for the current list. CrabiX is designed to run agents on any provider you connect. ### Is Antigravity free? Its page says it is available at no charge for individual developers and points organizations to enterprise documentation. CrabiX has a 7-day free trial, then $21 per month or $189 per year. ### Can I use Antigravity and CrabiX on the same project? Yes. CrabiX works on a project folder through Git, a file explorer, and a terminal, so changes from either tool end up in the same working tree. ### Does CrabiX manage several agents at once like Antigravity's manager? Yes. Agents can run in the background, be queued or steered, spawn subagents, and be organized into AI Corp teams with goals and budgets. ### Where are my keys stored? CrabiX keeps provider keys in an encrypted local vault on your machine and binds its gateway to 127.0.0.1 by default. ## Model digest CrabiX and Google Antigravity both treat agents as the unit of work. Antigravity is Google's agentic development platform with an app for multiple local agents, a CLI, an IDE, and a Python SDK, names Gemini models, and is described as available at no charge for individual developers.
