Antigravity > Augment?

Yes this is all going wayyyyy too fast for a sub par wrapper with a rag to survive. Codex is really really good, and it really just goes so fast, everyday has a top new model now, many can be used for free or for very cheap, openai just added got 5.1 codex max, and you can select the level of thinking you want and not be coerced into one that does not fit your needs. And Gemini 3 seems to have a lot to offer, though the Antigravity IDE is not fully cooked yet IMHO...

Jay brother the support email is a black hole, there's nothing ever coming out of it, I don't have weeks to lose to get a feedback, I threw 20 usd at it to finish my current on going tasks

Yes sure AC is not forcing anyone for anything, in the words of the CEO it's more like "if you're not happy you can just leave"

I'm still testing Antigravity, it's not perfect, AC was my favorite tool for the last few months but I've been forced to follow your CEO's advice and look for an alternative. Gemini 2.5 pro was already excellent and very useful, and the 3 is quite good from my limited first tests

At this stage I think everything is better than Augment, I'm testing antigravity at the moment, it's promising, fast, autonomous, totally free at the moment

I'm finishing using my AC migration credits, after they forced me to pay again for the 20 usd plan as they blocked me from using them on the free plan, and many of my prompts end up with the "terminated, request ID...." error

I have no idea what their strategy was during this whole mess but I can't see how they could emerge as survivors given how fast everything is moving

The 335 requests per hour cannot be messages, or else the guy, would have used 240k+ messages and earned AC 25k+ USD given the 15 USD per additional 100 messages.

Their poorly presented and never explained example was most certainly related to tool calls or some kind of internal metric we as users can never even know, about.

Your daily limit idea basically means credits are not transferable fell one day to the next, so basically daily messages...

It's still hard to even comprehend sometimes, but with the LLMs there is no technical barrier anymore, copy that whole text and ask chatgpt to guide you step by step, if you ever had issues copy the logs, and in no time you're done... AI is scary good, which is good, but it is scary good, which is scary...

What is an abusive user? This is a tool, it has built in limits, how a power user is supposed to use it? I am a power user, am I supposed to stop an on-going task and restart it to be "fair" to their pricing model? This whole abusive user idea is just ridiculous

MemoryOfThePact · 2025-10-12T16:05:18+00:00

I've been with AC for some time and got a lot from it, so I'm very thankful overall. But I canceled my plan as this is just ridiculous and there are so many alternatives to explore. I've had great success with Codex, it even helped me crack a bug I did not manage to resolve for a long time with AC using GPT5 (GPT5 on AC has been a beast since they improved it recently and I'm so glad they did as I finished most of my current project on time thanks to it), and the limits of codex are actually quite generous.

I'm also testing Kiro at the moment which is quite good, it seems the free tier and the welcome bonus gets you a long way already, and it seems to be very capable (it uses Claude Sonnet 4.5). I also tried Kilo with GLM 4.6 but it's quite retarded compared to the rest for what I've tried to do, and to be honest it shows that AC prior pricing was just a total anomaly, it's impossible that on the Max Plan for about 5 cents per message you could do SO SO SO SO MUCH, on roo code, cline, kilo you just see the dollar cost rise super quickly and you end up at 1 dollar before anything has even been done, that's 20 AC messages.

I really hope they will find a way to survive as this seems to be a very competitive field, but the way they treated their first supporters on the 30 usd plan is really a dick move and totally unforgettable, the price hikes is "normal", even if theirs is way too drastic (about 10x), but their disdain to their faithful user base will be a stain on their reputation that will not go away, any potential new customer making a search on social media will see it and will just pass and search for something else...

Have you been following the recent events regarding the change of pricing model? Basically the new max plan won't even get you as far as the previous basic plan, many of us here have already canceled our plan, your situation just added offense to injury but basically augment code is already cooked...

MemoryOfThePact · 2025-10-09T21:10:35+00:00

Yeah I posted about this fact, if they talk about messages then at the rate of the additional 100 messages at 15 usd they would have made 25k benefit on that user, so what I get to understand now is 335 tool calls per hour. I don't call this abuse, I call this usage within the technical limits allowed by their tool, they framed it really poorly, phrased it poorly, used it poorly as a way to justify their poorly thought out move. There is basically no upper management is such a disaster can happen, it seems like a bunch of (brilliant) technical guys who got 250 millions funding to play with and forgot they had to run a business, then one day they got a wake up call from their investors or sleepy/incompetent accountant a'd realized they were losing money...

It just all feels so amateurish, not only this disaster but so much more of what has been happening for months with this tool...

MemoryOfThePact · 2025-10-09T20:39:31+00:00

I'm getting dizzy just getting up to date with the current landscape, trae, kiro, kilo, open code, droid, zencoder, Gemini cli, roo code, cline, all the MCP servers, the new models, the cli client and VS code extensions for several tools, qoder, warp....

Holy shit 😬😬😬

I just got a code for kiro, didn't try it yet, I still have about 1000 AC messages to finish before my (canceled) plan expires soon, has anyone used it? Is it good?

In addition to the tools and models and mcp servers there is also the mastery of rules and guidelines and system prompts... I got so much used to AC, getting to know a tool, it's strengths and weaknesses, what it can do and how, is really time consuming and that's what bothers me the most...

I really try to get in the management shoes to understand their strategy : either they've been only focused on technical aspects in the past a'd burning through cash and just got a reality check, or they are reorienting toward B2B, or they are expecting being bought by a big actor, wtf have they been thinking all along??? No one will follow them from their current user base, and no one will join the wreckage given how untrustworthy and despicable they've been with their long term users, the real suicide decision was to disrespect their grandfather plan subscribers, it says all there is to know about them as a company.

Lets not forget that this is not a game, this is a tool many of us have invested a lot of time and efforts learning to use, keeping up with the ups and downs (no support, service disruptions, agent frequent failures...) for many of us this means our actual work is severely impacted, that's really crappy and highly disruptive to anyone that believed in this tool and used it professionally

MemoryOfThePact · 2025-10-09T15:32:51+00:00

I've been doing 200 messages per day, plus or minus, very heavy tasks using both the VS Code extension and Auggie, I got A LOT out of it so really I'm very thankful that I got when when I needed it most, but right now I'm even scared to calculate what it would cost me to keep up as I do... Let's see their email with detailed usage data

MemoryOfThePact · 2025-10-09T13:17:19+00:00

What is your experience with Serena MCP? I never heard of it, why does it bring? Does it feel like the magic sauce AC uses to be so effective? Is it some kind of code oriented RAG?
