Augment Code
Enterprise coding assistant with deep code-context
Overview
Augment provides AI coding assistance tuned for large enterprise codebases — multi-million-line repositories, polyglot stacks, complex dependency graphs. IDE integrations for VS Code, JetBrains, Vim. On June 19, 2026, Augment retired its Indie ($20/mo) and Standard ($60/mo) individual plans; the cheapest paid tier is now Business at $100/month flat (up to 50 seats), with custom Enterprise pricing above it. A free tier remains for open-source maintainers and contributors. On March 31, 2026, Augment sunset inline completions on Indie/Standard/Legacy plans (Enterprise unaffected). The company also maintains open-source side projects including the auggie terminal agent and augment.vim.

Use cases
What you can produce with Augment Code
- Ask a question about how a feature works across a multi-million-line repository and get an answer grounded in retrieved code from the relevant services, not just the open file.
- Delegate a multi-file refactor to the agent inside VS Code or JetBrains and review the proposed edits with full awareness of cross-repo dependencies.
- Run the open-source auggie agent in a terminal to execute coding tasks, fix failing tests or draft commits from the command line.
- Onboard onto an unfamiliar legacy codebase by asking Augment to explain module responsibilities and trace how a request flows through the system.
- Generate code changes that respect an enterprise's existing patterns and internal APIs because the context engine indexes the whole organisation's repositories.
- Use Augment free of charge as an open-source maintainer or contributor under the retained OSS tier.
- Roll the Business plan out to up to 50 engineers at a flat $100/month and manage usage centrally instead of per-seat credit juggling.

Augment Code is an agentic AI coding assistant whose Context Engine maintains a live view of large, complex codebases, feeding deep context to agents across VS Code, JetBrains, the CLI, Slack, and GitHub reviews. Its differentiator is genuine performance on big enterprise repositories where context-limited copilots struggle, plus strong security posture (SOC 2, no training on customer code on paid plans).
It suits professional and enterprise teams working in sprawling codebases who need reliable cross-file understanding; the credit-based pricing is hard to forecast and individual/Indie tiers can feel restrictive for heavy users. For small projects, simpler copilots are cheaper. English-centric but globally accessible, so ASEAN use is fine over the cloud.
What people say
Augment Code is still widely regarded as one of the strongest AI assistants for genuinely large codebases — and simultaneously one of the most complained-about products in the category, almost entirely because of pricing. Reviewers and enterprise users consistently praise its context engine: on multi-million-line, polyglot repositories it retrieves relevant code across services and dependency graphs in a way Copilot and Cursor still struggle to match, and comparison write-ups in 2026 repeatedly land on the same verdict — if your team maintains a legacy codebase of 100K+ files, Augment delivers real value.
The grievances are just as consistent. The 2025 move from flat-rate to credit-based billing was described on Reddit as "insanely expensive" and "a disappointment", with users saying credits burned far faster than expected and that Augment was following Cursor's controversial playbook. Trust eroded further through 2026: on March 31 the company sunset inline completions — the most-used daily feature — on its Indie, Standard and legacy individual plans, and on June 19 it retired those individual plans outright. The cheapest way in is now the Business plan at $100/month flat (up to 50 seats), with custom Enterprise pricing above it and a free tier retained for open-source maintainers.
The practical effect is a deliberate narrowing of audience. Individual developers and hobbyists have largely migrated to Claude Code, Cursor and other flat-rate alternatives, and much of the negative sentiment online comes from exactly that departing cohort rather than from the enterprise buyers Augment now courts.
It fits engineering organisations with sprawling, ageing repositories who will pay for retrieval quality and can absorb per-seat costs; the open-source free tier and the auggie terminal agent keep a community door open. Solo developers and small teams on a budget are, by the company's own pricing decisions, no longer the target market.
