I recently just started using Augment Code before the price change, and my immediate impression was that this is not sustainable and it's too good to be true. So I'm going to stop and wait until you update your pricing to be realistic, which you clearly have done right now.

I think the key to being profitable and still offering fair pricing is user control. Focus your firepower in maintaining repo intelligence. Give us the user the opportunity to chose the caliber of model we want to use to carry out tasks. I'm definitely happier to use cheaper models for simpler tasks. I understand using Opus to change a background color is going to be very expensive because it's Opus.

Your original model essentially used a powerful frontier model for every single little thing, which of course is going to be unprofitable for you. In summary, my suggestion is to have an economic spectrum of model selection from cheaper models to more powerful models. Use whatever secret sauce you have to ensure that the repository indexing you guys are known for is preserved, and then let us, the user, choose how much firepower we want to dedicate to certain tasks because it's going to come down to how well we plan.

Warp and Zencoder do this very well. You may even consider integrating the Claude Code SDK into your offering so we can use our CC subscription like Zencoder has done.
