Five AI coding tools that are $0 with no card in 2026, in the order to install them: every direct link, the exact limit line from each pricing page, a 20-minute install order and the honest notes

The companion to the reel. PAGE 1 — the five tools as a numbered list with the direct link, the limit quoted from the tool's own page, what you sign in with, and whether the page says no credit card: GitHub Copilot Free (2,000 completions a month, the only page that prints no credit card required), Kiro from AWS ($0 a month, 50 credits, Claude Sonnet 4.5), Google Antigravity IDE ($0 for individuals, Claude Opus 4.6 and Gemini 3.1 Pro on the list, weekly limits), Codex CLI paired with OpenRouter's free NVIDIA 550B model (the one tested: a live cover-letter app, bill $0.00), and Kilo Code's Auto Free tier (no API key required to start). PAGE 2 — the 20-minute install order, one job per tool, plus the receipt. PAGE 3 — honest notes: which pages actually say no card, Kilo's free routing may log prompts, OpenRouter's 50 requests a day without credits, Antigravity's unpublished weekly limit, Gemini CLI's free individual access ended June 18 2026, Qwen Code's free tier ended April 15 2026, and Codex on a free ChatGPT account being unverified. PAGE 4 — your first move. Every limit read from the linked official pages on September 10, 2026. Independent guide from Hyperautomation Labs — not affiliated with any of the vendors.
