Free and open-source alternatives to Augment Code

Augment Code alternatives in detail

  1. Cody

    enterpriseExtension

    Cody is Sourcegraph's AI coding assistant for the IDE, grounded in codebase-wide context: it uses Sourcegraph's Search API to fetch relevant definitions, references, and files — across many repos on Enterprise — so answers and edits reference how your code actually works. Now Enterprise-only; the Free and Pro tiers were discontinued in 2025.

  2. Continue

    open sourceExtension

    Continue was acquired by Cursor, and as of September 2026 continue.dev is a farewell page rather than a product site. The Apache-2.0 codebase remains public: an extension for VS Code and JetBrains that supplied chat, tab autocomplete, inline edits, and agent modes while you brought your own model, hosted or local via Ollama.

  3. Github Copilot

    freemiumExtension

    GitHub Copilot is GitHub's AI coding assistant: inline completions as you type, Copilot Chat for questions, tests, and refactors, and an agent mode that plans and applies multi-file changes. It works in VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Neovim, and the GitHub web UI. Freemium: a Free plan, with paid tiers billed in GitHub AI Credits since June 2026.

  4. Cursor

    freemiumIDE

    Cursor is an AI-first code editor forked from VS Code, so extensions, themes, and keybindings carry over. It layers on tab completion, inline natural-language edits, an agent mode that reads, writes, and runs commands across files, and parallel agents across repos and worktrees. Freemium: a free Hobby tier, with Pro and Teams raising included usage.

  5. Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf)

    freemiumIDE

    Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) is an agentic IDE built on a VS Code fork, rebranded by Cognition AI in June 2026. Its built-in Devin Local agent — which replaced Cascade — plans and executes multi-file edits, runs terminal commands, and pulls codebase-wide context; the rebrand made an Agent Command Center the default surface and added ACP support.
