Pros and cons

Amp

Pros

  • Per-thread cloud orbs let agents keep running unattended without worktree or port conflicts.
  • Free Hobby tier includes all product features, with bring-your-own-key and own-runner options.
  • Works across web, Mac, terminal and CI runners, with event triggers from Linear, GitHub and schedules.
  • Multiplayer orbs let teammates share an agent, terminal and running app.
  • Teams plan adds SSO, pooled credits and shared model routing at no extra seat charge.

Cons

  • The Mac app requires macOS 26 or later and the Mac and iOS apps are labelled beta.
  • No App Store iOS release yet; mobile access is through TestFlight.
  • Orb rates, overage behaviour and Gigawatt pricing are not published on the pricing page.
  • Pay-as-you-go orbs on the free tier make costs less predictable than a flat subscription.

Augment Code

Pros

  • Covers the delivery loop beyond coding, with agents for PR review, ticket-to-PR, vulnerability remediation and incident response.
  • Context Engine gives agents repository-level context on large codebases.
  • Works in VS Code, JetBrains and the terminal, so teams are not tied to one editor.
  • Triggers from GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Linear, Jira, schedules and webhooks.
  • Usage pooled across up to 50 seats with no per-seat charge on Standard and Business.

Cons

  • No free tier or trial is listed on the pricing page.
  • Usage-based billing with a 40% fee on LLM spend makes monthly cost harder to predict than flat per-seat plans.
  • Third-party reviews describe credit and usage pricing as confusing and a source of cost anxiety.
  • Key security items (SSO, SCIM, CMEK, ISO 42001) are Enterprise-only.
