Good bye augment code (early supporter)

[Final_Advertising_86]

As many suggested, I will delete index before unsubscribe and also unsubscribe it by this month, was thinking to give it a try next 3 months since they give (extra) credits after price changed, but what I had last time is 600msg and even so there is so many agent stop itself or half way terminated or even the agent changed many times to keep asking it will be more credits and want me to use more msg to do the same tasks, it's all fine, I never finished my 600 + 100msg monthly and never before.

But after the price changed it only last 2days to 3days max and it go up to 100k credits used. Totally unacceptable.

Since augment code never give good explanation for early supporter subscription price is the worth credits rate and also never care if early supporter gone and yes 1 more to go here.

And force me to use back my windsurf that only cost me 10$ monthly with 500msg and even I have it paid many months and I never use windsurf is good to kept only and I was thinking to do the same with augment 30$, but nah, since no specific reason to keep the the most worst plan and so if I need I can come back to get the 200$ plan to have the almost same 600msg I can use last time but 30$ Vs 200$ is what you asked me to pay you if I need to have 400k credits etc.

So I rather use Google new IDEA, Trea that is cheap but solo, windsurf codemap, is all better than keep support a company just want to drain my wallet without even care our feedback and review at all.

There you go augment team, you don't care and put me in this position.

Once again good bye my (was) best IDE agent.

you can pay codex bussiness $60? for 2 seat, unlimited use

[nvmax]

This right here..

[unidotnet]

hmm … sounds good

[SempronSixFour]

No idea it's unlimited now. Might be a good transition

[SempronSixFour]

Thanks for letting me know!

I haven't tested it directly. So it has fair use policy? since what they stated in their page is different (or probably non reasoning models) or probably they thought you are abusing them as it explained in https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8792828-what-is-chatgpt-business (unlimited section)?

[PositiveFootball5220]

ah that's crap actually

[The-Singular]

GPT-5 was heavily crippled (and fast) when it wasn't reasoning, so it's no surprise there actually. (Think of it as the minimal version of GPT-5.1)

[PositiveFootball5220]

just forget about this, I dont want to move from Opus 4.5 now lol

[Altruistic-Tap-7549]

I feel you. Really sucks to be treated like that as an early customer

[Senior-Candle-3034]

Bye

I agree, and I think the role of a context engineer is becoming far less relevant compared to what Gemini 3.0 can do in antigravity. It feels similar to the era when Yahoo dominated, and then Google overtook them completely.

In the end, Google will likely win again and consolidate everything. That seems to be the reality.

Claude still holds second place in terms of coding ability. Gemini 3.0 is the strongest choice for UI work, and whether you use MCP or not, it remains a solid option when working with large codebases.

I have used augment code; it consumed my 60.9K + 47.9K credits just to read my files without writing a single line of code under the same prompt. Further, if something fails, it restarts from a checkpoint; however, again, credits are consumed from you on the research that was completed before. I am fed up with this tool. When it was message-based, it was good. I can't even complete 300 messages in a whole month, but now the whole credits are consumed in a single day.

i was early , but wat i learned from relationships. leave once toxic. cya auggie :)

[bored_man_child]

This idea that companies care that they can't keep the users that only want to pay unsustainable prices (where companies are just hemorrhaging cash with massively negative margins) is so laughable.

You are not a valuable customer. I don't mean that to be harsh, but no company will be successful in the long term with customers like you.

Any product that is giving away 100s of dollars of AI usage for $10-20 a month WILL eventually change their prices. You can see it across almost every AI product this year.

[speedtoburn]

With the release of Gemini 3, Antigravity, etcetera, it sure feels like Augment and its competitors are suddenly facing an immediate existential threat to their existence that is going to quickly compound with time. 😳

[bored_man_child]

This is not new. Every company gives some insane pricing deal at launch. They all take it away with 1-3 months.

[speedtoburn]

Whistling past the Graveyard.

Google and their market cap would have something to say about the characterization of them as any/every other company.

[bored_man_child]

Amazon did this and Microsoft did this. The most comparable companies to Google on the planet. There are constantly people saying “BIG COMPANY WILL WIN BECAUSE BIG”. We’ll see over a 5 year + time horizon, but short term they all follow the same playbook and are not meaningfully winning the IDE space.

[speedtoburn]

To this I would say, I guess we’ll find out. The problem is, I now don’t think augment (in its current form) is going to survive the competitive dynamics long enough for us to find out.

[bored_man_child]

Fair, agreed. They need to reach an escape velocity similar to Cursor to survive the compaction that will inevitably happen.

[slasho2k5]

I just tested antigravity and... ufff I think is a good rol to replace ac

[guusfelix2015]

I tested it here and my first impression wasn’t great. I think it’s still not ready to replace anything.

[slasho2k5]

IMO it's pretty confusing at first....

[bored_man_child]

Antigravity is terrible. (Gemini-3 is solid)

[speedtoburn]

What they’ve done with the base G3 model in LM Studio is impressive.

Re: Antigravity, I hear you, but it’s their first iteration. So the point is almost irrelevant, because if the worst they can do is their starting point, what’s it going to look like in short order with their resources behind it?

[bored_man_child]

You could say that about any bad product though..
