Augment Code

Executive Summary

What it is: Augment Code is a team- and cloud-first agentic coding platform centered on Cosmos (its agent operating system), the Auggie CLI, and code review. In June the commercial model was rebuilt around two tiers: Business at $100/month flat for up to 50 seats, and Enterprise at custom pricing. Billing switched from opaque credits to pass-through token pricing, where LLM usage is charged at each provider's public API list price plus a flat 40% service fee, with Cosmos compute at $0.19/hour. Available models include Claude (up to Opus 4.7, plus the newly added Fable 5), GPT (up to GPT-5.5), Gemini 3.1 Pro, Kimi K2.6, and two Prism model-routing variants.

What to watch out for: The biggest commercial risk for buyers is that Augment eliminated every individual tier. The old Indie ($20), Standard ($60/dev), and Max ($200/dev) plans are gone, so the cheapest entry point is now the $100/month Business plan. The prior number-one transparency gap (undisclosed credit-to-token mapping) is resolved, but it is replaced by a transparent 40% markup on LLM spend that makes Augment materially more expensive than calling the same model's API directly. Claude Fable 5 was added on June 9 but was disabled on June 12 under Anthropic's US export-control directive and only cleared to return July 1, so premium-model availability is governed by Anthropic's regulatory situation. The r/AugmentCodeAI subreddit remains in restricted mode (since May 19), and there were no HackerNews stories about Augment in June, so live community sentiment is not publicly observable.

Bottom line: June is Augment's largest structural pivot to date. The opaque credit system is retired in favor of transparent, dollar-denominated token pricing, and Cosmos graduated from a Max-only public preview to general availability on all plans. The trade-off is a sharp narrowing of the audience: there is no longer a path for a solo developer, and every team pays the 40% service fee on top of list-price tokens. Teams already evaluating Cosmos gain a much clearer cost picture; cost-sensitive solo buyers should look elsewhere.

Key Terms

  • Token-based billing - Augment's new (June 2026) billing model that replaced credits. You pay for actual input, output, cache-read, and cache-write tokens at each model provider's public API list price, with no separate conversion table. Source: Augmentcode – Credit Based Pricing
  • Service fee - a flat 40% surcharge applied on top of LLM token spend (not on compute). It funds the Context Engine and the Cosmos platform. This is the structural cost of buying models through Augment instead of calling the provider API directly. Source: Augmentcode – Credit Based Pricing
  • Cosmos compute - time billed while Cosmos runs work in a sandbox, priced at $0.19/hour, billed in 5-minute increments rounded up, with no service fee on top. Source: Augmentcode – Credit Based Pricing
  • Context Engine - Augment's proprietary codebase indexing and retrieval system that gives models real-time, repo-scale context. Its cost is covered by the 40% service fee rather than a separate line item. Source: Augmentcode – Context Engine
  • Cosmos - Augment's operating system for agentic software development. It runs specialized agents (Experts) across the SDLC with shared memory, tool integrations, and event triggers. Moved from Max-only public preview to all plans on June 3, 2026. Source: Augmentcode – Cosmos The Platform For Ai Native Engineering Teams
  • Expert - a specialized Cosmos agent with its own prompt, integrations, environment, secrets, and event triggers. Examples include PR Author, Deep Code Review, Pair Reviewer, Incident Investigator, and the new Project Builder. Source: Augmentcode – Accelerating Large Engineering Projects With Cosmos
  • Project Builder - a Cosmos expert introduced June 18 that takes a short feature description, produces a human-reviewed design doc, then orchestrates worker agents to implement it as one PR (one-shot) or one PR per ticketed unit. Source: Augmentcode – Accelerating Large Engineering Projects With Cosmos
  • Prism - a model routing system that sends each turn to the best-fit model within a family. Prism (Claude + Gemini) routes among Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6, and Gemini 3.0 Flash; Prism (GPT + Kimi) routes among GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, and Kimi K2.6. Targeted to cost 20-30% less than frontier models. Source: Augmentcode – Credit Based Pricing
  • Auggie CLI - Augment's command-line agent (the CLI product on both plans). Supports mid-conversation model switching via the /model command. Source: Augmentcode – Cli
  • Fable 5 (Mythos family) - Anthropic's premium frontier model, added to the Augment model picker on June 9 at $10/$50 per MTok (roughly 2x Opus 4.7 pricing). Intended for long, deep-reasoning tasks. Subject to Anthropic cyber restrictions with fallback to the Opus family. Source: Augmentcode – Build With Mythos Claude Fable 5 Is Now In Augment Code
  • Credits (retired) - Augment's prior abstract billing unit. Fully removed in June 2026 and replaced by token-based billing. Included for clarity since older posts and third-party comparisons still reference it. Source: Augmentcode – Credit Based Pricing
  • MCP (Model Context Protocol) - an open protocol for connecting agents to external tools and data. Augment supports MCP servers for integrations like Jira, Linear, Confluence, and Notion. Source: Augmentcode – Auggie Cli 0 31 0 Release Notes

Latest Changes

Changes since the 2026-05 report.

  • Plan change: The entire tier structure was rebuilt. The Indie ($20/mo, 40,000 credits), Standard ($60/dev/mo, 130,000 credits), and Max ($200/dev/mo, 450,000 credits) plans are retired. The new line-up is Business at $100/month flat (up to 50 seats, no per-seat charge) and Enterprise at custom pricing. There is no individual or solo tier. Source: Augmentcode – Pricing
  • Billing mechanic change: Credit-based billing was replaced with token-based pricing. LLM usage is billed at each provider's public API list price plus a flat 40% service fee, and Cosmos compute is billed at $0.19/hour (was 300 credits/hour in May) with no service fee. The credit-to-token opacity flagged in May is resolved. Source: Augmentcode – Credit Based Pricing
  • Feature added (Cosmos GA): Cosmos moved from a Max-only public preview to general availability on all plans. The June 3 launch post states Cosmos is now "available to all plans." Source: Augmentcode – Cosmos The Platform For Ai Native Engineering Teams
  • New model: Claude Fable 5 (Mythos family) was added to the model picker on June 9 at $10/$50 per MTok, roughly 2x the cost of Opus 4.7 ($5/$25). Source: Augmentcode – Build With Mythos Claude Fable 5 Is Now In Augment Code
  • Governance event: Fable 5 was disabled on June 12 when a US government export-control directive forced Anthropic to suspend Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all customers, including resellers like Augment. Fable 5 was cleared to return July 1; Mythos 5 remains suspended. Source: Anthropic – Fable Mythos Access
  • Feature added (Project Builder): A new Cosmos expert (June 18) turns a short feature description into a human-reviewed design doc, then orchestrates worker agents to ship it. Reported internal results: a 23,962-line GitLab integration in 16 days with 2.5 engineers, a 16,474-line streaming migration in 14 days with 1.5 engineers, and a 5,476-line feature in 5 days with 1 engineer. Source: Augmentcode – Accelerating Large Engineering Projects With Cosmos
  • Release (CLI): Auggie CLI shipped three versions in June: 0.29.0 (June 4, added an auggie-guide subagent and daemon indexing), 0.30.0 (June 25, added Cloud Projects, Cloud Tunnels, Cloud Analytics, and sub-agent hooks), and 0.31.0 (June 25, added Jira/Confluence/GitLab/Teams cloud workflow triggers). Source: Augmentcode – Changelog
  • Product de-emphasis: The Intent macOS workspace, which the May report listed as a primary interface, no longer appears on the pricing or docs pages, and the product navigation centers on Cosmos and the CLI. June changelog activity was exclusively CLI and Cosmos; there were no new VS Code or JetBrains extension releases (the last was 0.859.7 on May 14). Source: Augmentcode – Pricing
  • Transparency improvement: The prior top transparency gap (undisclosed credit-to-token conversion) is closed. Per-million-token rates, the 40% service fee, and the compute rate are all published, and the dashboard at app.augmentcode.com exposes live per-model rates. Source: Augmentcode – Credit Based Pricing
  • Model availability gap: Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 5 (both launched by Anthropic in June) are not yet present in Augment's published model table; the latest Opus listed is 4.7 and the latest Sonnet is 4.6. The Fable 5 changelog references "Opus 4.8" only as a pricing comparison. Source: Augmentcode – Credit Based Pricing

Plans

Plan Price Included usage Seats Products included Concurrent sessions
Business $100/month flat $100 across LLM tokens, compute, and service fees Up to 50 (no per-seat charge) Cosmos, Auggie CLI, code review 50
Enterprise Custom Custom Unlimited Cosmos, Auggie CLI, code review, multi-region compute Unlimited

Business plan mechanics (from the docs):

Item Value
Monthly price $100/month
Included usage $100, drawn across LLM tokens, the 40% service fee, and compute
Service fee 40% of LLM usage (no fee on compute)
Cosmos compute rate $0.19/hour, billed in 5-minute increments, rounded up
Roll-over None. Included usage resets each billing cycle
Proration Yes, if you start mid-cycle
Overage behavior Pay-as-you-go at the same rates, no minimum top-up

A typical $100 month (Augment's worked example): $60 LLM tokens + $24 service fee (40% of $60) + $16 compute = $100 total.

All paid plans exclude AI training on customer data. Business support is community-based plus a support portal whose tickets are handled under the SLA; Enterprise adds dedicated support. Trials and beta usage get community support only and the SLA does not apply. Top-ups not part of the base plan expire 12 months after purchase. Code Review is available on all plans; Enterprise Code Review adds advanced analytics, user allowlists, MCP configuration, multi-org support, and unlimited seats and repos.

Terms explained:

  • Per-seat charge - a fee billed for each user. The Business plan explicitly has no per-seat charge, so a 50-person team pays the same $100 flat as a 2-person team, in exchange for sharing one pooled $100 usage balance.
  • Pooled usage - the included $100 and any top-ups are shared across the whole team, so heavy and light users draw from one balance.

API Pricing

Augment does not sell a standalone public API. All usage flows through Cosmos or Auggie CLI and is billed as token consumption at each provider's public list price, plus the 40% service fee on LLM, plus Cosmos compute at $0.19/hour.

Per-million-token rates (provider list price; the 40% service fee applies on top of these LLM figures):

Model Input Output Cache read Cache write
Claude Sonnet 4.6 $3.00 $15.00 $0.30 $3.75
Claude Sonnet 4.5 $3.00 $15.00 $0.30 $3.75
Claude Opus 4.7 $5.00 $25.00 $0.50 $6.25
Claude Opus 4.6 / 4.5 $5.00 $25.00 $0.50 $6.25
Claude Fable 5 $10.00 $50.00 $1.00 $12.50
Claude Haiku 4.5 $1.00 $5.00 $0.10 $1.25
Gemini 3.1 Pro $2.00 $12.00 $0.20 $2.00
GPT-5.1 $1.25 $10.00 $0.125 $1.25
GPT-5.2 $1.75 $14.00 $0.175 $1.75
GPT-5.4 $2.50 $15.00 $0.25 $2.50
GPT-5.5 $5.00 $30.00 $0.50 $5.00
Kimi K2.6 $0.95 $4.00 $0.16 $0.95
Prism (Claude + Gemini) Variable (routed) Variable Variable Variable
Prism (GPT + Kimi) Variable (routed) Variable Variable Variable

Prism (Claude + Gemini) routes among Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6, and Gemini 3.0 Flash. Prism (GPT + Kimi) routes among GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, and Kimi K2.6. Prism is designed to cost 20-30% less than frontier-model spend on average, with savings varying by task.

Worked example tasks (costs include the 40% service fee, assuming no compute):

Task Model Approx. cost
Fix a 500 error (Sonnet-class) Sonnet 4.6 $0.25
Fix a 500 error Opus 4.7 $0.43
Fix a 500 error Claude Fable 5 $0.85
Fix a 500 error Haiku 4.5 $0.08
Fix a 500 error Kimi K2.6 $0.13
Design a multi-tenant billing system (Opus-class) Opus 4.7 $0.85

Cost of the 40% service fee in practice: because the fee is levied on LLM spend, a request that costs $0.60 in raw Opus 4.7 tokens becomes $0.84 through Augment (plus any compute). Comparing Augment to a direct provider API, the floor overhead is therefore 40% on token cost, with compute passed through at $0.19/hour without markup.

Background activities (Context Compression, System) consume a "small fraction" of total tokens but are no longer hidden behind an opaque credit unit, since all spend is dollar-denominated.

Model Performance / Benchmarks

Augment did not publish a new internal benchmark in June. The May benchmarks (Auggie vs Claude Code on Opus 4.7, and the Prism multi-turn evaluation) remain the most recent published results and are carried forward here.

Fable 5 qualitative result (June 9, from changelog): In early internal testing, Fable 5 caught every known issue in Augment's toughest internal code-review benchmark and flagged additional potential problems still being validated. No numeric pass-rate or score was published, and Augment noted Fable 5 "has started to expose the limits of benchmarks we've relied on to differentiate frontier models."

Carried forward from May (unchanged in June):

Benchmark Auggie (Opus 4.7) Claude Code (Opus 4.7) Delta
Terminal Bench 2.0 pass rate 67.4% 66.3% +1.1%
Terminal Bench 2.0 total cost $463.04 $694.50 -33%

Cosmos incident management (carried forward from May, referenced again in the June 15 SDLC post): agents handle 81.3% of incidents, median time to first RCA fell from 30.1 to 6.2 minutes, and on-call engineers merged 44% more PRs per week. Reviewer time on a large PR went from 6-7 hours to roughly 45 minutes. Source: Augmentcode – What Do Engineers Do When Agents Run The Full Sdlc

Latest News

Cosmos reaches general availability on all plans (June 3, 2026)

The "Hello, Cosmos" post declared Cosmos "available to all plans," ending the Max-only preview that began May 4. The positioning shifted from "agent operating system" to "the platform for AI-native engineering teams," emphasizing an agentic SDLC where agents run across triage, spec, implementation, review, testing, deployment, and feedback, coordinating with each other and pulling humans in only for judgment. Cosmos runs in Augment's cloud, self-hosted VMs, or laptops, with a shared filesystem and memory across agents. Source: Augmentcode – Cosmos The Platform For Ai Native Engineering Teams

Agents can now run the full SDLC (June 15, 2026)

A narrative post arguing that coding is only about 30% of an engineer's job and that agents can now cover the surrounding review, testing, incident, and planning work. It frames Cosmos as "the system around the agent" rather than another coding model, with Deep Code Review, Pair Reviewer, PR Author, and Incident Investigator running on one shared platform.

Project Builder ships large projects from a design doc (June 18, 2026)

A new Cosmos expert takes a short feature description or mockup, produces a design doc grounded in the real codebase, gets it human-reviewed via a GitHub PR or an HTML doc in the shared VFS, then orchestrates implementation as either one large PR or one PR per ticketed unit in Linear or Jira. The three internal projects above (5,476 to 23,962 new lines) were used as evidence. Setup is via the Cosmos Advisor in roughly 10 minutes.

Claude Fable 5 added, then suspended, then cleared to return (June 9 to July 1)

Fable 5 (Mythos family) entered the model picker on June 9 at roughly 2x Opus 4.7 pricing for long, deep-reasoning tasks. Three days later, on June 12, Anthropic's export-control directive disabled it for all customers. Anthropic cleared Fable 5 to return globally on July 1, while Mythos 5 stays suspended. Augment also said it will add Fable 5 to the Prism router.

Community Signals

No June 2026 HackerNews activity for Augment

A search of HackerNews stories for "Augment Code" returned no stories dated in June 2026, and a separate search for "Augment Code pricing" likewise returned nothing from June. The most recent Augment-related HN story is the February 2026 Intent launch, which earned 5 points and 0 comments. This continues the weak organic HN traction noted in the May report. Source: Hn – Search

For historical context, Augment's highest-engaged HN post remains the October 2024 "Augment Code: Developer AI for Teams" launch at 29 points, after which engagement declined (the December 2025 "Why GPT-5.2 is our model of choice" post earned 12 points, and the October 2025 pricing-change post earned 1 point). No June quotes or vote counts are available because no June threads exist. Source: News – Item

Official subreddit still restricted

The r/AugmentCodeAI subreddit, moved to restricted mode on approximately May 19, remained restricted through June, so only approved users can post and June community sentiment (including any reaction to the pricing overhaul and the elimination of individual tiers) is not publicly observable without login. The restriction rationale is still undisclosed. Source: Old – Our Subreddit Is Now In Restricted Mode

Coverage limitation

Because no June HN threads exist and the subreddit is restricted, this report contains no fresh June community quotes with direct comment permalinks. Per project sourcing rules, quotes are omitted rather than fabricated, and this absence is itself tracked as a transparency signal.

Transparency Gaps

Gap Details Severity
No individual tier The $20 Indie, $60 Standard, and $200 Max plans are gone. The cheapest entry is the $100/month Business plan, so solo developers and small evaluation teams have no low-cost path. High
40% service fee floor Because the service fee is levied on all LLM spend, Augment is at minimum 40% more expensive on tokens than calling the same model's API directly. This is disclosed, but buyers comparing total cost must add it explicitly. High
Fable 5 availability Fable 5 was live June 9-12, then disabled, and only cleared to return July 1. Premium-model availability is now coupled to Anthropic's regulatory exposure. High
Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 5 not yet available Anthropic launched both in June, but neither appears in Augment's model table as of the report date. Buyers wanting the newest Anthropic models must wait. Medium
SLA uptime percentage The SLA is referenced ("same core uptime and response targets") but the concrete uptime target and response-time figures are not on the pricing page. Medium
IP indemnity No IP indemnity is offered or mentioned on any plan. Medium
HIPAA No HIPAA or BAA is mentioned, limiting regulated healthcare use. Medium
Prism routing transparency Prism still does not surface which underlying model was selected for a given turn, and the May-listed plan to add this for power users has not shipped. Medium
Background activity share Context Compression and System activities consume a "small fraction" of tokens but the percentage is not quantified. Low
Enterprise pricing Listed as "Custom" with no starting price, per-seat range, or committed-spend discount structure. Requires sales contact. Medium
Intent status The Intent macOS workspace is no longer on pricing or docs pages, with no explicit deprecation or migration notice. Its fate (retired vs absorbed into Cosmos) is unclear. Low
Reddit transparency r/AugmentCodeAI remains restricted with undisclosed criteria for approved posters, so live community sentiment is not publicly observable. Medium
Aggregate adoption metrics No seat, revenue, or retention figures are published, and none were updated in June. Low
