Pricing
FreemiumSweep uses a usage-based credit model. The free tier gives limited Sweep API Credits for testing all features. All paid individual plans (starting at $20/month) grant the plan cost as included API credits plus unlimited Tab autocomplete suggestions. Unused credits roll over for 30 days. Agent usage is charged at the underlying LLM provider cost plus a 5% Sweep markup: Sweep-0.1 (fastest, ~$0.02/message), Claude Opus 4.5 or GPT-5.2 (~$0.25/message), Sonnet 4.5 (~$0.15/message), Gemini 3 Flash (~$0.035/message), and GLM 4.6 (~$0.028/message). Sweep Next-Edit Tab autocomplete is included at no per-message cost on all paid plans. Team plans include $40 in Sweep API credits per seat with pay-as-you-go overages billed to the organization. Team plans add SSO, team-wide usage visibility, and the ability to enforce Privacy Mode org-wide. Contact team@sweep.dev for volume discounts on larger teams. BYOK (bring your own key) is available to route all model calls through your own API accounts at zero markup.
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.

Sweep AI

Sweep AI Pros & Cons

Pros

  • #1 AI plugin on JetBrains Marketplace with 4.9 stars and 40K+ installs — purpose-built JetBrains experience vs. other tools ported from VS Code
  • Proprietary 1.5B parameter Sweep Next-Edit model delivers millisecond-latency Tab autocomplete — fastest JetBrains autocomplete available
  • Zero data retention by default — no code stored by Sweep or LLM providers, with SOC 2 compliance and BYOK for full control
  • Model flexibility — choose Sweep-0.1, Claude Opus, GPT-5, Gemini, GLM, or Grok per task with transparent per-message pricing
  • Remote MCP with full OAuth 2.0/2.1, web search, bash tooling, and AI code review built in as of late 2025
  • Small, focused team (YC S23, ex-Roblox) that uses Sweep themselves daily — fast iteration and direct founder responsiveness

Cons

  • JetBrains-only — no VS Code, Neovim, or standalone IDE support, which excludes a large portion of the developer market
  • Small team (~4-5 people, YC-backed seed stage) with limited resources compared to GitHub Copilot or Cursor
  • Agent credit usage can grow quickly with complex multi-file tasks — heavy users may need to add pay-as-you-go credits beyond their plan
  • Free tier has limited credits and model access — meaningful use requires a paid plan starting at $20/month
  • VS Code extension exists but is labeled experimental — JetBrains IDEs receive the full, polished Sweep experience
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
