Executive Pricing Recommendation
At your current workload of 10 seats performing 14 tasks/user/day (12 turns/task), Google Antigravity's flat subscription offers the lowest effective cost ($170/mo). Direct API pricing scales with token volume, whereas subscriptions provide fixed budget predictability—provided your team remains within rate limits and included seat quotas.
