Augment Code

by Augment

JetBrains AI Assistant

by JetBrains

Pros

• ✓Business is $100 per month flat for up to 50 seats, with $100 of monthly usage and the Cosmos autonomous agent included.
• ✓The Context Engine indexes entire repositories, or several at once, to give completions, chat and agents architectural awareness of the codebase.
• ✓MCP and native tool integrations on all paid tiers, including one-click connections for CircleCI, MongoDB, Redis, Sentry and Stripe.

Limitations

• –There is no single-seat plan: the $20 Indie tier was removed in the 2026 pricing restructure, and Business starts at $100 per month.
• –The $100 monthly allowance on Business covers LLM, Context Engine and compute use together, and usage beyond it is billed as pay-as-you-go top-ups.
• –SSO with OIDC and SCIM, CMEK and ISO 42001 compliance are on the custom-priced Enterprise plan.

Pros

• ✓Built into eleven JetBrains IDEs plus Android Studio and ReSharper, with code completion from JetBrains' own Mellum model that does not use AI Credits, and a public preview extension for Visual Studio Code.
• ✓Several coding agents in one chat: JetBrains' own Junie, plus Claude Agent, Codex and GitHub Copilot, and any ACP-compatible agent from the registry, with MCP support in both directions.
• ✓Cloud models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and xAI through JetBrains AI, bring-your-own-key for OpenAI and Anthropic, and local models through Ollama or LM Studio.

Limitations

• –AI Free is not available in IntelliJ IDEA without an Ultimate subscription, PyCharm without a Pro subscription, or Android Studio, and it does not include next edit suggestions.
• –Cloud AI features pause when the included credits run out until the quota renews after 30 days or credits are topped up, and unused included credits do not roll over.
• –SSO and SCIM, AI audit logs, organization-wide provider keys and on-premises deployment require AI Enterprise at $60 per user per month billed annually, sold through a demo request.
