Augment Code offers coding agents in VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, a terminal agent called Auggie, and Cosmos cloud agents that can run on Augment’s infrastructure or your own.
Its pricing is unusual: a flat team price with no per-seat charge for up to 50 seats, then model usage at list price plus a 40% fee. Auggie CLI 1.2.0 (November 10, 2026) was a breaking rewrite built on the open-source pi agent.
Who it’s for
Augment describes itself as built for enterprise-grade software engineering. In practice the pricing suits small and mid-sized teams best: a 20-person team pays the same $20 or $100 platform fee as a team of two, with everyone drawing on one pooled balance.
What stands out
- Context Engine. Augment’s codebase-retrieval engine is its core product, and it’s also sold as a standalone MCP server that other agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor can query, at an estimated $0.03 to $0.06 a query.
- Broad model choice. Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, DeepSeek and GLM models, plus the Prism router that picks one for each request. Some models are only available in eligible workspaces.
- Cosmos. Cloud agents with ready-made “Experts” for writing pull requests, reviewing code and responding to incidents, triggered automatically.
- Self-hosted compute. Cosmos agents can run on your own machines, daemon pools or Kubernetes clusters instead of Augment’s cloud.
Drawbacks and things to watch
- The 40% fee. You pay model list price plus 40% on every token, so heavy users will usually pay more than going direct to a provider.
- Auggie 1.x breaks old setups. Renamed tools mean some old permission rules stop working, and Shift+Tab now changes reasoning effort instead of toggling plan mode.
- No native Windows CLI. Auggie runs on macOS and Linux, and on Windows only through WSL.
- Code review is moving. The old GitHub Code Review bot is being retired in favour of Cosmos, with no date announced yet.
Privacy and security
Augment says it never trains on customers’ proprietary code. It lists SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 42001, GDPR and CCPA compliance, and HIPAA with a BAA available. Customer-managed encryption keys are an Enterprise feature. Some models need an admin to approve the provider’s data-retention policy before they can be used.
Getting started
Install the Augment extension from the VS Code or JetBrains marketplace. For the terminal, Auggie needs Node 20 or later and installs from npm as @augmentcode/auggie.
