The short version

  • Only Deno has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Augment Code the $100 per month Business plan pools LLM inference, context engine and compute usage together and adds a 40 percent service fee on top of the provider's public API price, as of August 2026.; Deno the runtime itself is MIT licensed per the project's GitHub repository (denoland/deno LICENSE.md) with no cost, but Deno Deploy's free tier caps at 1 million requests and 15 CPU hours per month, per deno.com/deploy/pricing (Aug 2026)
