The short version
- 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.; Factory the $100 per month Plus tier only grants about 5 times the usage of the $20 Pro tier, so usage scales sub-linearly with price, as of August 2026.
