The crossover is around five people
Five Cursor Premium seats are $150 a month. Augment's Business tier is $100 for up to fifty seats. Above five people the flat fee wins on headline price — but the included usage is the real constraint, and heavy agent work exhausts $100 quickly.
Context Engine only matters at scale
The differentiator is retrieval across a production-scale codebase. In a monolith where reviewers hold the whole system in their heads, it does nothing, and Cursor's editor integration is the better daily experience.
