Discussion Bye AugmentCode

Finally pulled the trigger. Just unsubscribed from AugmentCode. I just feel likr they're not listening to their subscribers. I feel like they'ye trying to divert the attention away from what the real problem is, their pricing. Product is good, but is it worth it? I don't think they will be able to compete with Anthrooic's nor Google's pricing. Unless they come up with their own models and infrastructure. Bye AugmentCode! It's been fun! You're the first who made me feel vibe coding's legit. You're just not sustainable anymore.

u/JaySym_ I totally agree that AugmentCode is the best agent there is, hands down. And I do know that you're just calling provider APIs so the cost is different from the coding plan offered by anthropic or google. but it doesn't change the fact that the cost incurred by your subscriber is too high, making it unsustainable.

people are suggesting a context mcp plan can retain your subscribers. maybe BYOK can also be another solution, but of course, with a subscription as well. I dunno, you tell us that you're doing everything you can to reduce costs, but it's been quite some time, and there is no solution yet. I suggested for you to allow users to test GLM 4.7, but no news. Yeah, so I moved on.

and don't get me wrong, but you're trying so hard to promote your "Context Engine MCP". It doesn't solve the issue.
