What is Augmentcode Seat-to-Retainer Ratio?

“Seat count under 50 → retainer math works; above → renegotiate”

Client engineering headcount weighed against the 50 seats included in the Business plan

Augmentcode's Business plan bundles up to 50 seats for $100/month, so the framework asks one question before you pitch: how many of a client's engineers will actually touch the Cosmos agents? A 12-developer software shop fits inside that seat ceiling with room to spare, which means a $2,500 Dev Starter Sprint plus a monthly managed-agent retainer clears healthy margin on code review and test automation alone. A 90-engineer enterprise blows past the included seats and pushes you into the Enterprise tier, where pricing is custom and volume discounts are negotiated annually, so your retainer has to absorb a sales cycle you do not control. Run the ratio before scoping: seats needed divided by seats included. Below 1.0, productize freely. Above 1.0, quote the engagement as a development contract with Augmentcode embedded, never as a standalone tool markup.
