The matchup desk
Augment Code or Warp
Two tools, read side by side from their own public pages.
This week’s matchup
Augment Code suits engineering organizations that want to start on a published plan and have agents run loops such as code review, ticket-to-PR and CVE remediation, with approval checkpoints built in. Warp suits platform teams that want to define a set of coding agents, models and permissions in one versioned file and score each run. Its factory platform is reached through an early access request, so teams that need to begin immediately should weigh that first.
The case for Augment Code
Your team wants a flat monthly fee for up to 50 seats with published Standard and Business plans. You want prebuilt Experts for triage, PR authoring, review and testing that can be forked or extended. You need approval checkpoints where work pauses until someone replies. Your code must run on your own machines or in a mix of your hardware and managed sandboxes.
Coding agent
Cosmos orchestrates software agents across software delivery workflows, from ticket triage and code authoring to review and verification.
- Agent orchestration
- Code review
- Ticket-to-PR workflows
- Vulnerability remediation
- Incident response
- Shared memory
- Human-in-the-loop
- Native integrations
The case for Warp
Your platform team wants agent setup, permissions and cloud access reviewed as code in one versioned file. You want to use Claude Code, Codex or Cursor alongside Warp's own agent and pick models per pipeline stage. You want runs scored and models benchmarked on your own tasks, with changes to config proposed as pull requests. You are willing to request early access and write YAML to define repositories, secrets and roles.
Coding agent
A software factory infrastructure platform that orchestrates coding agents across the software development lifecycle, with factories-as-code, evals, benchmarks, and self-improvement.
- Factories as code
- Agent orchestration
- Model choice
- Evals and benchmarks
- Self-improvement loops
- Slack and Linear integrations
- API, CLI, SDK and MCP
- Run screenshots and video
At a glance
| Aspect | Augment Code | Warp |
|---|---|---|
| Core unit of work | Loops such as code review, ticket-to-PR, CVE remediation and incident response, each staffed by reusable Experts | A factory defined in factory.yaml, with a Foreman agent that teammates can @-mention in Slack or Linear to hand over work |
| Setup | Described in plain language to an Advisor, which proposes Experts, environment and automation for the team to approve | Written as a config file listing repositories, secrets, MCP connections, cloud roles, integrations and default models |
| Agent and model choice | Runs on Cosmos Experts, which can be forked from a library or built from scratch | Accepts any MCP-capable coding agent and frontier or open-weight models, selectable per pipeline stage |
| Oversight and feedback | Human approval gates pause work, and shared memory carries corrections into later runs | Each run is scored against evals built from the team's own work, and observer agents propose config edits as pull requests |
| Where it runs | Managed cloud sandboxes, a company's own hardware, or a pool combining both | Warp's cloud or a customer's own VPC, with pluggable or zero-retention output storage |
| Pricing and access | Standard at $20 per month and Business at $100 per month, both flat for up to 50 seats with included usage; Enterprise is custom. LLM inference adds a 40% fee over provider list price | The site points buyers to an early access request for the factory platform. The Warp terminal remains a separate download |

Does Warp's factory platform replace the Warp terminal?
No. The terminal stays available as a download. The factory platform is a separate offering for defining and running groups of coding agents.
Can Augment Code use my code to train its models?
Paid plans exclude AI training on customer data under the Commercial Terms of Service.
How do the two handle cloud credentials?
Warp uses federated access to an AWS role or GCP identity, so long-lived keys stay out of the factory definition. Augment Code's materials on credential handling are limited to its plan and data terms.
Which product is closer to an AI assistant in the editor?
Neither. Both sit above the editor as orchestration layers for teams running agents on tickets and pull requests.
