What is Augment Code?
Augment Code is an AI coding platform for engineering teams, built around one claim: context. Its Context Engine indexes your real repository, dependencies, documentation, style guides and recent changes, then feeds curated context to agents working across your IDE, CLI, code review and Slack. It supports VS Code and JetBrains, handles pull requests and intent-based automation, and publishes a Trust Center for enterprise security review.
Pricing has moved twice and the direction is upward. Augment switched from message-based to credit-based billing in October 2025, then retired the Indie and Standard individual plans, leaving Business at $100 per month flat as the entry point. Inline completions were sunset on 31 March 2026. Credits burn at different rates per model, so two developers on the same plan can generate very different bills, and top-ups run about $15 per 24,000 credits. Budget for variable cost, not a flat seat fee.

An engineering team connects Augment's Code Review agent to their GitHub PRs, automatically catching style violations, missing tests, and architectural drift before human review
A developer uses the Augment CLI to run an agentic task that traces a performance bug through multiple services in the codebase and proposes a fix without leaving the terminal
A tech lead sets up Intent automations in Augment to automatically generate documentation and test stubs for any new public function added to the codebase
