## Summary

Harness bought Cosmos, Augment Code’s cloud agent, along with the Auggie CLI and the Context Engine, on October 8, 2026. [1](https://www.harness.io/press-and-news/harness-acquires-augment-code)

Replicas runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and Pi in the cloud, so a team keeps the agent it prefers, and Claude Code and Codex run on the Claude or ChatGPT subscription it already has. [22](https://docs.replicas.dev)[23](https://docs.replicas.dev/admin/credentials) Cosmos makes more sense for a team that already uses Harness or wants Cosmos’s own agent.

## Pricing

| Plan | Monthly price | Included usage | Usage type |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Augment Code Standard [3](https://www.augmentcode.com/pricing)[4](https://docs.augmentcode.com/models/token-based-pricing) | $20 up to 50 seats | $20 ($20 of usage) | Model tokens, fee, compute |
| Replicas Developer [36](https://docs.replicas.dev/admin/billing) | $50 | $50 (12,500 small-VM minutes) | VM time |
| Augment Code Business [3](https://www.augmentcode.com/pricing)[4](https://docs.augmentcode.com/models/token-based-pricing) | $100 up to 50 seats | $100 ($100 of usage) | Model tokens, fee, compute |
| Replicas Team [36](https://docs.replicas.dev/admin/billing) | $200 and up, in $100 steps | $200 (50,000 small-VM minutes) | VM time |

- Cosmos plans are still sold under the Augment Code name. [3](https://www.augmentcode.com/pricing) Both plans include Cosmos. [3](https://www.augmentcode.com/pricing) Cosmos compute costs $0.19 an hour, with no markup. [4](https://docs.augmentcode.com/models/token-based-pricing) Usage past the included amount is billed at the same token and compute rates. [4](https://docs.augmentcode.com/models/token-based-pricing) Enterprise pricing is custom. [3](https://www.augmentcode.com/pricing)
- Each Replicas plan includes usage equal to its price. [36](https://docs.replicas.dev/admin/billing) A small VM (2 vCPU, 8 GB memory) uses $0.004 of that usage a minute. [36](https://docs.replicas.dev/admin/billing) Seats are free. [36](https://docs.replicas.dev/admin/billing)

Replicas VM rates in US dollars per minute [36](https://docs.replicas.dev/admin/billing):

| Size | Included | Overage |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2 vCPU, 8 GB memory | $0.004 | $0.006 |
| 4 vCPU, 16 GB memory | $0.008 | $0.012 |
| 8 vCPU, 32 GB memory | $0.016 | $0.024 |

## Model prices

The Cosmos docs list 34 models, including two Prism routers. [5](https://docs.augmentcode.com/models/available-models) The table shows the 32 models with a fixed price. [4](https://docs.augmentcode.com/models/token-based-pricing) Prism routes each request to a different model, so it has no fixed price. [4](https://docs.augmentcode.com/models/token-based-pricing) Prices are in US dollars per million tokens and include the 40% service fee. [4](https://docs.augmentcode.com/models/token-based-pricing) Replicas doesn’t sell tokens. [23](https://docs.replicas.dev/admin/credentials)
