Pricing
PaidPieces has two paid tiers with no free plan. Pro costs $18.99/user/month billed monthly, or approximately $14.24/user/month billed annually (25% discount). Pro includes the full living timeline, AI recall across all captured sources, one-click summaries, multi-model AI (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and local models), the Pieces MCP Server, and on-device storage with granular privacy controls. Enterprise costs $22.99/user/month billed monthly, or $69.99/user/quarter. Enterprise adds org-wide capture and feature controls, an approved AI provider allowlist, BYOK (bring your own API keys), and admin-level governance and compliance controls for rollout across an organization. All new users start with a 7-day free Pro trial (credit card required to start). Every plan comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee. There is no permanently free tier.
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.

Pieces for Developers

Pieces for Developers Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Unique OS-level memory capture — the only tool that builds a searchable memory of your entire work history automatically, every 2 seconds, without any manual filing
  • On-device storage by default — all captures live locally with granular per-app, per-site, and per-modality controls for full privacy ownership
  • MCP server integration — carries your full personal context into Claude, Cursor, Codex, and any MCP-ready AI so agent responses are grounded in your real work
  • Horizontal tool coverage — captures from 20+ apps spanning email, chat, IDEs, browsers, meeting tools, and AI assistants in one unified memory layer
  • One-click summaries eliminate manual status updates — standup reports, morning briefs, and meeting prep generated instantly from real captured context
  • Backed by Flat Capital (OpenAI/Perplexity/xAI portfolio) and Drive Capital — investor networks at the frontier of AI and developer tools

Cons

  • No free plan — Pro requires $18.99/month after a 7-day trial with a card on file; no permanently free tier
  • Primarily a context and memory layer, not a code generator or autocomplete tool — best paired with other coding assistants rather than replacing them
  • Continuous background capture raises privacy sensitivities for some users, even though all data is stored on-device by default
  • Enterprise plan adds only $4/month over Pro but requires organization-level setup, which may slow adoption for small teams
  • Windows/macOS/Linux desktop app required — no purely browser-based option; mobile experience is limited
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
