# Is Augment sunsetting its IDE extensions? Why switch to Kilo Code?

**[Kilo Blog](https://daily.dev/sources/kilo-ai-blog)** · 5 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Augment Code is reportedly sunsetting its IDE extensions with about one month's notice, leaving JetBrains users (PyCharm, IntelliJ) without their preferred autocomplete and agent panel workflow. Augment's suggested alternatives — the Augie CLI and Cosmos platform — have been poorly received by individual developers who prefer working directly in the IDE. Augment has also eliminated its free Community plan, now requiring a $100/month Business plan, and has closed its Reddit and Discord communities. Kilo Code positions itself as a direct replacement, offering a native JetBrains plugin with inline Tab autocomplete, a Next Edit mode, an in-IDE agent panel, and checkpoint/rollback tracking. Version 7 is a ground-up rebuild as a native JetBrains plugin, removing previous Node.js detection issues. Kilo Code is open source (Apache-2.0), supports 500+ models, and adds no markup when users bring their own API key.

## Questions this post answers

### Is Augment Code shutting down its JetBrains and VS Code IDE extensions?

Yes, Augment Code is sunsetting its IDE extensions, giving affected users about one month of notice via email. This follows an earlier change in March where Augment removed Next Edit and Completions from its IDE extension for non-enterprise plans. Augment is instead directing users toward its Augie CLI and its Cosmos agent platform, which are aimed at enterprise teams rather than individual developers.

### What is Augment Code's current pricing after removing the free plan?

Augment's Business plan costs $100 per month for up to 50 seats, and the free Community plan has been discontinued, meaning a $100 monthly plan is now required to use the product at all. This pricing shift accompanied the sunsetting of Augment's IDE extensions and a broader move toward enterprise customers via its Cosmos platform.

### What alternatives exist for JetBrains developers who relied on Augment Code's autocomplete and in-IDE agent chat?

Kilo Code offers a JetBrains plugin with inline Tab autocomplete, a Next Edit mode predicting multi-line edits, and an agent panel inside IntelliJ, PyCharm, GoLand, and other JetBrains IDEs, including a checkpoint tracker for reviewing and rolling back agent changes. Version 7 rebuilds it as a native plugin bundling its own CLI runtime, removing prior Node.js detection issues, and it is open source under Apache-2.0 with no markup on bring-your-own-key model pricing across 500+ models.
