Pros

Use your ChatGPT, Claude or other subscriptions, or your own keys, with no Amp token fees, per Amp
Orbs come with your code, tools and plugins set up; start from iPhone, follow up on Mac or in the TUI
Teams at no extra charge, with thread sharing, shared plugins and skills, and SSO

Cons

Deliberately opinionated: Amp says it drops features it doesn't use and offers no backward compatibility
Orb time beyond the plan is pay-as-you-go
