Expert Take
Augment Code works well when developers need to parse complicated, large-scale codebases using its 200,000-token context window. The friction starts when using its code review feature, which can require multiple self-review iterations before it is satisfied with its own generated code. Before buying, compare vs Cursor, which is cheaper at $20/month but limits its context window to 10k tokens compared to Augment's 200k.
