Pricing
FreemiumVibe Free offers limited access to Mistral's SOTA models, web and mobile access, limited messages, web searches, and coding sessions, image generation, and 100+ connectors. Vibe Pro is $14.99/month with more messages, web searches, more complex task handling, all-day coding in the CLI, IDE, and web, more image generations, and chat and email support. Team is $24.99/user/month, adding up to 30GB of storage per user, domain name verification, and data export. Enterprise offers custom models, custom agents, custom workflows, audit logs, SAML SSO, and white-labeling via a private deployment, priced on request. A Student plan offers Vibe Pro for $5.99/month for verified students. Separately, the API is billed per million tokens: for example Mistral Large 3 costs $0.5 input / $1.5 output, Medium 3.5 costs $1.5 input / $7.5 output, and Small 4 costs $0.15 input / $0.6 output, with batch processing available at a 50% discount and Enterprise APIs available at a 75% premium for regional controls, SLAs, and premium support.
PaidAugment Code uses a usage-based pricing model with two tiers. The Business plan costs $100/month flat for up to 50 seats. This includes $100 of pooled monthly usage across LLM inference (billed at provider list price + 40% service fee), Context Engine API calls, and Cosmos compute. Usage is shared across the whole team. Top-ups are available pay-as-you-go at any time; top-ups expire 12 months after purchase. The Enterprise plan has custom pricing for teams over 50 seats. It adds custom usage limits and top-up rates, volume-based annual discounts, SSO/OIDC/SCIM, Customer Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK), ISO/IEC 42001 compliance, SIEM integration, data residency options, granular audit trails, multi-region compute, unlimited concurrent sessions, and a dedicated customer success manager with priority support. All paid plans include a guarantee of no AI training on customer data. A 7-day free trial is available. Previously Augment charged $60/active user/month under a named-seat model before switching to flat/usage-based pricing in October 2025.

Mistral AI

Mistral AI Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Owns its full model stack end-to-end rather than reselling third-party models
  • Open-weights even flagship models, giving businesses genuine self-hosting flexibility
  • EU-based hosting and self-hosted options are a strong fit for data-sovereignty-sensitive customers
  • Vibe unifies chat, work automation, and coding into one agent and one subscription
  • Competitive API pricing, especially on cost-efficient models like Small 4 and Ministral

Cons

  • Recent rebrand from Le Chat to Vibe (May 2026) may cause confusion for existing users and search results still reference the old name
  • API pricing spans 32+ models with different rates per capability, requiring careful reading to estimate true costs at scale
  • Commercial self-hosted deployment of open-weight models requires a separate Mistral license beyond the Apache 2.0 research terms
  • Smaller ecosystem and community size compared to OpenAI or Anthropic, despite strong open-weight momentum
  • Enterprise APIs carry a 75% premium over list pricing on select models for regional data controls and premium support
Augment Code

Augment Code Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Deepest codebase context of any AI coding tool — Context Engine indexes 400K+ files with semantic graphs, not just open tabs
  • #1 on SWE-bench Pro at 51.80% (Auggie CLI) — top publicly benchmarked coding agent score at publication
  • First and only AI coding assistant with ISO/IEC 42001 certification alongside SOC 2 Type II and CMEK
  • Usage-based flat pricing ($100/mo for up to 50 seats) is more predictable than per-seat models for variable teams
  • Cosmos platform covers the full SDLC — from ticket to PR, code review, tests, incidents, migrations, and onboarding
  • Trusted by Adobe, MongoDB, Webflow, Snyk, Pure Storage, Crypto.com, Tekion, and DXC across enterprise codebases

Cons

  • No free individual tier — Business plan starts at $100/month with a team minimum; sole developers pay full price for low usage
  • Pricing changed three times in 18 months (2023–2025), causing some developer community backlash and unpredictability concerns
  • IDE support limited to VS Code and JetBrains — no standalone IDE, no Neovim full feature parity, no Visual Studio
  • Closed-source with no self-hosting option — all computation runs on Augment's infrastructure or Enterprise cloud tenants
  • Context Engine first-run indexing takes 15–30 minutes on large repos before initial suggestions become fully accurate
  • Enterprise plan requires sales contact for pricing — no public list price above the Business tier
