Kiro has announced the removal of its waitlist and is now open to all users. The official blog and social media accounts confirmed that new users will receive 500 free points during a limited-time promotion to experience features like "Spec-Driven Development" and "Vibe Coding." Points are allocated in a single pool, with each task consuming points based on complexity, allowing users to experiment with core processes, from requirements specification to system design, task decomposition, and automated implementation.
Regarding the trial validity period, Kiro's FAQ currently states, "First-time users will receive 500 points, valid for 30 days." However, the September pricing blog post mentioned "valid for 14 days." Based on information from multiple sources, the current "waiting list removal" announcement and official FAQ reference the "30-day" period and are recent updates. The specific scope of validity, duration, and pricing tiers remain subject to the official website and product page. Community posts and media reports can be used as additional reference.
