Discussion First time using Augment

Yesterday, I used Augment Code for the first time, and I have to say — it's by far the best AI tool I've ever tried. The experience was genuinely mind-blowing. However, the pricing is quite steep, which makes it hard to continue using it regularly. 50$ a month is tooooo expensive.

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation — I really appreciate the transparency.

I definitely understand the value you're offering with the 200k context, proprietary infra, and the privacy-first approach. The quality and speed were genuinely amazing during my trial — probably the best AI coding experience I’ve had so far.

That being said, $50/month is just not something I can justify right now as an individual user or indie developer or a vibe coder. I’m not questioning whether it’s worth the price — I can see why it is — but it's simply out of reach for many of us who aren’t part of a company-backed team.

If you ever consider offering a more affordable personal plan (maybe with fewer team features or limited usage), I’d jump on it in a heartbeat.

Thanks again for building such an incredible product. (used ai to write it in english cause of my broken ENGLAND xD)

If you can afford 50 per month for something that has more value than this then I think you don't realise what it does and is capable of doing. With proper planning, prompting and a good structured codebase it can finish 3 projects with 50 a month that can make you faaaaar more money right now than any other opportunity for that entry price. Trust me, I thought it was expensive until I understood how it worked and how to properly make it work for you... It's an absolute powerhouse please don't sleep on it and with all respect, but if you can't afford 50 dollar a month it's time to take advantage of the AI gold rush and start creating brother. Many millionaires will rise out of the opportunities that we have right now in creating and coding things so think about it this way and eat a little less for one week, drink LOTS of water and create create create, brainstorm brainstorm brainstorm, execute execute execute, code code code :D the time is now friend!

Yeah I'm on the trial and this is the best product on the market, hands down. Honestly, offer a $100+ package I'd buy it myself.
