We're excited to announce that Augment Code is evolving its pricing structure to better reflect the value you get from our AI-powered platform. As of October 20, 2026, we'll be switching to a credit-based system that provides more transparency and flexibility for developers working in large, complex codebases.

Our previous user message model had two major flaws: it was unfair to customers and didn't accurately represent the costs associated with running our business. This approach treated every interaction as equal, regardless of scope or complexity. For instance, asking an Agent to edit a CSS class is significantly different from refactoring the mobile payment view and adding Apple Pay. The new credit model addresses these issues by providing a more accurate reflection of the actual cost of powering your requests.

This change will increase costs for some users, but we're committed to helping you understand how this shift may impact you and how to forecast potential costs under the new model. Our goal is to provide the best AI platform for developers, and this credit-based system allows us to do just that.

How the New Credit Model Works

A credit is our unit of measurement for usage in Augment Code. Instead of counting "messages," credits more accurately reflect the actual cost of powering your requests: prompts and token usage optimized for cost and quality; industry-leading security and IP protection; as well as the cost of providing you with the best Context Engine in the world.

The flexibility of this credit model enables us to broaden our feature set, including building new powerful features around AI automation across your stack, not just the IDE. We're actively looking to expand our model set to help you make the most of your monthly credits in this new pricing structure.

What Do the New Plans Look Like?

Our new plans offer more flexibility and transparency:

| Trial | Indie | Standard | Max | Enterprise | |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Price | $0 | $20 | $60 | $200 | Custom |

| Included Monthly Credits | 30,000* | 40,000 | 130,000 | 450,000 | Custom |

*Trial users now get a 30,000 credit pool upon signing up with a valid credit card. When you use your credits, you have the option to choose a paid plan or move to the free plan.

Which Plan is Right for You?

Based on how developers use Augment Code today, here's what typical usage looks like in the new credit-based pricing model:

  • Completions & Next Edit users: Expect to stay within the $20/month plan
  • Daily Agent users: Customers who work on a couple of tasks with an Agent each day should expect between $60–$200/month of total usage
  • Power users: If you rely on Remote Agents, CLI automation, and have most of your code written by agents, expect cost to be $200+/month

What's the Impact to Existing Customers?

Your current plan dollars will be migrated to credits. To ease the transition, we're adding one month of free credits to every account, valid for 3 months.

| Plan Name | Indie | Dev Legacy ($30) | Dev | Pro | Max |

|---|---|---|---|---|

| Price | $20 | $30 | $50 | $100 | $250 |

| Included Monthly Credits | 40,000 | 56,000 | 96,000 | 208,000 | 520,000 |

| One-time Bonus Migration Credits | 40,000 |

By adopting this new credit-based system, we're committed to providing the best AI platform for developers working in large, complex codebases. With our mobile marketing capabilities and innovative features, you'll be able to effectively manage your credit usage and drive success with Augment Code.
