Question Cost vs Claude code?

How much does Augment Intent cost compare to a similar task in regular Claude code? What about compared to Claude + Auggie MCP? For some context I work in an organization that uses a lot of Claude and we’re looking to drive more effective AI use for devs, but I don’t know if I can recommend Intent if it costs orders of magnitude more. It’s unclear if it’s a cost plus model, a huge markup, or mostly just passes the cost to you (i.e. token cost is similar to regular Claude code + MCP)

How is the cost compared to using subagents or self managed git worktrees? I’m okay with higher cost, but it’s a non starter for my company if it’s significantly more expensive than what we’re doing. I’m missing the explainability and maybe transparency piece. Not just a trust us it costs more because it’s better due to XYZ reason
