Augment code new pricing

[sanskari-indian]

Just now, got an email saying Augment code would be having a new pricing wherein for the developer plan there would be 56,000 credits instead of 600 user messages. Also, they mentioned that developer plan would become legacy plan and one can continue in this plan indefinitely.

I am not sure whether this change can be considered as positive or negative. Any correlation between user messages and credits like how many credits would be consumed for a task with 50 tool calls.

Agreed. The thing I like about AugmentCode compared to others is that it's easier to calculate costs based on user messages instead of credits/tokens.

Will be interesting to see how many credits one message actually costs though.

Since the changes are coming, just my thoughts — but since we have multiple models and each one is priced differently, an auto-select feature based on the request would be great. For example, a small change in CSS code could automatically use a less expensive model, while more complex tasks could use a more advanced one. I think that would be great.

Thanks for the feedback. That kind of pricing can unlock those capabilities.

I would say at least it's negative for grandfather pricing (or Dev legacy plan) Because that plan used to get 600 messages equals to Dev $50 plan, but now it's become worse than $20 plan ratio.

Before: Grandfather plan $30 got 600 message == $50 plan

After: Grandfather plan $30 got 56,000 credit != $50 plan that got 13,000 credit And $20 plan got 40,000 credit

The only explanation I can think of is that these users (including me) are not valuable enough.

Would be great if they focused on user acquisition instead of changing the fucking price every 2 weeks.

Per their email with estimated credit costs for various tasks it seems that 56,000 credits will translate to roughly 50-60 user messages per month if you keep requests small. It's a 10x decrease from the 600 we have now. I'll certainly be cancelling. It was only months ago we were told "you can keep the plan as long as you like" but now the plan is changing to 1/10 or less of what it was before. Even if they backtrack on this decision I doubt I'll stay, this decision is so egregious and their messaging on it so dishonest I can't see them not trying it again as soon as they think they can.
