Cody

Pick Cody if Sourcegraph already runs inside the org and cross-repo context is a daily need. Cody’s moat is Sourcegraph’s indexed code context across local and remote codebases. Model controls, Sourcegraph Model Provider/Cody Gateway, self-hosted options, Deep Search, MCP/CLI access, and enterprise admin/security controls make sense when the buyer is already evaluating Sourcegraph as a platform.

Skip it otherwise. No self-serve tier exists. GitHub Copilot is the lower-friction GitHub-native seat purchase, Cursor is the stronger AI-native IDE, and Cline plus Continue cover open-source/BYOK workflows without a Sourcegraph platform contract.

Who pays: Enterprise engineering orgs with many repos, Sourcegraph buying intent, and compliance requirements other coding tools do not meet.

Every data point above was verified against vendor sources on 2026-06-26. See Sources.

• No self-serve tier. Free and Pro closed July 23, 2025, Enterprise Starter lost Cody, and the Marketplace now says Cody is no longer available for non-enterprise users.
• Marketplace copy is inconsistent. The extension still appears as “Free” and still includes stale Cody Pro/model-option wording, even though the overview warns non-enterprise users away. Treat Sourcegraph pricing and docs as the source of truth.
• Value depends on Sourcegraph. Shops without existing Sourcegraph deployments pay for a code graph they do not already use.
• AI credits are a procurement object. Included credits, org pooling, no monthly expiry, renewal rollover, volume buckets, and license-tied Cody Gateway quotas need modeling before rollout.
• Agent mode lives in a neighboring product. Sourcegraph points former self-serve Cody users toward Amp for agentic workflows; Cody itself remains the enterprise code-intelligence assistant.
• Price gap vs Copilot and Cursor. Sourcegraph Enterprise starts at $16K, while Copilot Business is $19/user/month plus AI Credits and Cursor Teams is $40/user/month. The code graph and platform features must justify that gap.
• Amp split in buyer intent. Sourcegraph points former Cody Free/Pro users toward Amp for agentic workflows, while Cody remains enterprise code intelligence. Buyers must know which job they need.
• Outputs still need review. Sourcegraph AI Terms give useful ownership and zero-retention language, but also say outputs are as-is and must be validated by the customer.
• Procurement cycle. Enterprise-only means sales contact, contract, and platform evaluation. No quick trial for solo buyers.

This page was produced by the aipedia.wiki editorial pipeline, an automated system that ingests vendor documentation, verifies pricing and model details against primary sources, and generates the editorial analysis you are reading. No individual human wrote this review. Scoring follows the four-dimension rubric at /about/scoring/ (Utility, Value, Moat, Longevity; unweighted average). Last verified 2026-06-26 against Sourcegraph pricing, Sourcegraph Cody docs, Sourcegraph Model Provider docs, Sourcegraph AI Terms, the VS Code Marketplace listing, and the plan-change announcement.

Can I still buy Cody Free or Pro? No. Sourcegraph retired both self-serve tiers on July 23, 2025, and Enterprise Starter no longer includes Cody. The current public path is Sourcegraph Enterprise, which the pricing page frames as starting at $16K with included AI-feature credits (plan changes notice).

What models does Cody support? Cody Enterprise can use Sourcegraph Model Provider/Cody Gateway or configured third-party LLM providers. Admins can set default models, provider overrides, model overrides, self-hosted models, and model filters. Treat model availability as an enterprise configuration question rather than a public self-serve menu.

How does Cody differ from Amp? Cody is AI chat, completions, edits, prompts, and context on top of Sourcegraph. Amp is the agentic workflow path Sourcegraph introduced for former Cody Free and Pro users.

Can Cody be self-hosted? Yes. Sourcegraph docs describe Cody setup on Sourcegraph Cloud and self-hosted Sourcegraph Enterprise. Self-hosted customers can configure Sourcegraph Model Provider or third-party LLM providers.

What happens to Cody data? Sourcegraph AI Terms say customers own AI inputs and outputs, partner LLMs use zero retention, and Sourcegraph collects inputs, outputs, candidate context, and chat transcripts solely to provide the service. The same terms say outputs are not guaranteed, so generated code still needs review.

Is Cody worth Sourcegraph Enterprise spend against GitHub Copilot at $19/user/month? Only if cross-repo context and Sourcegraph’s platform features pay for themselves. GitHub Copilot Business remains $19/user/month under GitHub AI Credits, and Cursor Teams remains $40/user/month, so Cody needs to justify the $16K Sourcegraph platform entry with code graph, Deep Search, MCP/API/CLI access, compliance, and enterprise codebase context. Single-repo teams usually should not start here.
