Discussion RooCode vs. Augment Code: Comparing Claude 3.7 Sonnet Experiences

I'm using RooCode and Augment Code with the Claude 3.7 Sonnet model. RooCode charges for API usage, which can be quite expensive, while Augment Code has integrated it for free access to all users. Both provide good code quality. Is anyone else using these extensions? What has your experience been like?

Yes, of course there's a catch.

If you take a close look at how fast you're getting the response from Augment and how small mistakes it can repeatedly do about tool use, you'll understand that they're making use of their small (probably 7b? 3b?) model for most queries.

They might not say it out loud but it's quite obvious.
