The verdict

Tabnine wins, 7.5 to 6.3

Augment Code's Standard plan costs $20 a month as a flat price for the whole team; Tabnine's Code Assistant plan runs $39 a month per developer, sold only as an annual subscription. Tabnine states your code is never stored, while Augment's retention is bounded by policy rather than zero. Augment reviews pull requests as a dedicated feature; that was not confirmed for Tabnine. Both promise not to train their AI on your code.

Pick Augment Code if your whole team wants one flat monthly price.

Pick Tabnine if you want as-you-type suggestions with a stated zero-storage code policy.
