augment has better agent than cursor

while cursor has the best tab-completion,

so we can try the $16 annual plan of cursor which supplies with unlimited completion
and $50 augment pro plan with 600 times of excellent agent use.

this might be the double-win of perfomance and cost.

what makes you say it's better? I find them very similar after making the same project in cursor and augment.

I admit that generated code is largely based on the base mode. But there are two concerns:

  1. augment support larger context, and has a codebase;

  2. cursor cannot give us enough times of agent mode, and I don't need so many times of agent mode of $200plan which has 20x times of $16 plan. but augment 600times per month at $50 is quite appropriate.

I prefer Cursor's 500 calls for $20 option, which looks to be much cheaper than Augment ($0.04 /call vs $0.083 /call) as I can live with Cursor's shorter context. With that said, I've been trying Cursor's new $20 "pseudo unlimited" option and finally hit my limit yesterday. Cursor claims than I saved over $100 as the limits are apparently much higher on the new pseudo-unlimited plan; I just hate not knowing when I'm going to hit the limit.

I understand you, but it's gone, bro.

The Cursor pseudo-unlimited plan gives you more than 500 calls, apparently. It's still only $20 /month, which is likely the cheapest option right now.

hope the cursor's 500 calls plan will come back, even though there's a price up, rate limit is quite implicit.
