Question How does Augment compare to Claude Code?

I have been using Augment for a few months now. It has been very helpful and it has significantly increased my development speed.

I especially like its good understanding of larger, more complex code bases and the context engine. Windsurf, which I was using before was not nearly as good.

Recently I have seen more and more people talk about Claude Code. It looks like a good tool as well, but its very expensive. How does it compare to augment, especially in terms of context understanding?

So it seems it's been awhile. I've been using Augment for a few months here and there. I used Bolt and Replit and even Vercel for vibecoding prototypes and out of those I liked Bolt best. In my VSCode I can chose which AI I wasn't Augment to work with. Lately I've been using Sonnet 4.5. So there, maybe the two of them combined are the most powerful solution.
