About Augment Code

Augment Code's core idea is a loop, not a chat box. Its Cosmos platform models software delivery as five stages: Ticket (intent and scope), Code (spec and delegate), Review (intent and verify), Deploy (approve and release) and Monitor (alert and correct), with monitoring feeding back into new tickets. Each stage is staffed by an "Expert," a reusable agent template with its own environment, capabilities and memory. A Work Dispatcher scans open tickets against a triage rubric and assigns work. A PR Author takes a task from first commit through merge. A Code Review Fleet runs Pair Review, Deep Code Review and PR Risk Analysis and posts inline findings. A Tester exercises the change end to end and posts results with screenshots. Humans step in at checkpoints, not at every prompt.

Setup works the same way. You describe the loop you want to an Advisor in plain language, it proposes a plan covering Experts, environment and automation, and you approve that plan rather than writing prompts. Once approved, a fleet is created, a trigger is armed and the first ticket-to-PR run starts on its own. Augment pitches the result as a "software factory": code review, ticket to PR, CVE remediation and incident response loops that connect into one system. Its own numbers are bold: 66% faster time to merge, 2 to 3x engineering throughput, 60%+ of CVEs remediated automatically and 70%+ of incidents resolved before on-call joins. Those are vendor figures, so treat them as targets, not guarantees.

The pricing is unusual for this category. The Standard plan is $20/month flat with no per-seat charge, covers up to 50 seats and includes $20 of usage across LLM, Context Engine and compute, with pay-as-you-go top-ups beyond that. Business is $100/month flat on the same 50-seat model, and there's an Enterprise tier for larger orgs. That flat fee is cheap to start, but your real bill will track how many loops you run. If your team already has a disciplined ticket and review process, this is one of the more serious attempts at agents that run the whole pipeline, not just autocomplete in your editor. If your process is ad hoc, you'll spend your first weeks defining checkpoints before the agents can do much.

Key features

Cosmos loops across the SDLC

Cosmos chains Ticket, Code, Review, Deploy and Monitor stages into an always-on loop, with monitoring alerts flowing back into new tickets.

Advisor-driven setup

You describe a workflow in plain language, the Advisor drafts a plan covering Experts, environment and automation, and you approve the plan instead of hand-tuning prompts.

Shipped Experts for each stage

Cosmos includes a Work Dispatcher for triage, a PR Author that drives tasks to merge, a Code Review Fleet that posts inline findings and a Tester that posts end-to-end results with screenshots.

Forkable, custom Experts

Every Expert is a reusable template with its own environment, capabilities and memory, so you can use the shipped ones, pick from the library, fork them or build your own.

Prebuilt solution loops

Augment advertises ready-made loops for code review, ticket to PR, security remediation, incident management, test coverage, migrations and onboarding.

CLI, MCP and native tools

Even the Standard plan includes CLI access, MCP and native tools, plus SOC 2 Type II compliance and a policy that your code isn't used for AI training.

Best for

  • engineering teams with a defined ticket-to-merge process
  • orgs drowning in PR review backlog
  • security teams handling a steady stream of CVE alerts
  • on-call rotations that want triage done before they log in
  • teams of up to 50 who hate per-seat pricing

Skip if

  • Skip this if you mainly want inline autocomplete in your editor, since the product is built around multi-stage agent loops, not keystroke suggestions.
  • Skip this if you can't tolerate variable bills, because usage beyond the included allowance is billed as pay-as-you-go top-ups.
  • Skip this if you need to confirm specific issue tracker or CI integrations upfront, because the public page doesn't list them.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Flat pricing with no per-seat charge for up to 50 seats is far cheaper for mid-size teams than per-user agent tools.
  • Approving a plan at a checkpoint, rather than babysitting prompts, keeps engineers in control without making them operators.
  • Expert roles map to real SDLC jobs (triage, authoring, review, testing), so it's easy to see where each agent fits.
  • SOC 2 Type II and a no-AI-training policy are included even on the Standard plan.
  • Experts can be forked and customized with their own memory and environment, so you aren't locked into Augment's defaults.

Cons

  • The headline stats (66% faster merges, 2 to 3x throughput, 70%+ incidents resolved before on-call) are vendor claims with no methodology on the page.
  • Only $20 of usage is included on Standard, and running several always-on loops will likely push you into top-ups quickly.
  • The marketing site is heavy on concepts and light on specifics: supported git hosts, ticket systems and deploy targets aren't named.
  • Getting value requires designing loops and checkpoints first, which is real upfront work for teams without a mature process.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Augment Code cost?

The pricing page lists Standard at $20/month flat and Business at $100/month flat, each covering up to 50 seats with matching usage included. An Enterprise tier exists for larger organizations, and usage beyond your allowance is billed as top-ups.

What is Cosmos?

Cosmos is Augment Code's agent orchestration platform that runs loops across 5 stages: Ticket, Code, Review, Deploy and Monitor. You set it up by describing a workflow to the Advisor and approving the generated plan.

How is Augment Code different from GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot is centered on helping you write code in your editor, while Augment's Cosmos assigns agents to triage tickets, author PRs, review them and test changes end to end. It's closer to an automated delivery pipeline than a coding assistant.

Does Augment Code train AI on my code?

No. The pricing page states "No AI training allowed" and lists SOC 2 Type II compliance on the $20 Standard plan.

Can I build my own agents?

Yes. Every Expert is a reusable template with its own environment, capabilities and memory, and you can use the shipped ones, choose from the library, fork them or build your own.
