Coding · freemium

✓The free CLI and IDE extension put review before the pull request, which is where AI-generated code actually needs catching
✓Indexed full-repo context produces comments about how a change interacts with the codebase, not just about the diff
✓Folds 40+ linters and SAST scanners into the same pass, replacing several separate CI checks
✓Covers all four major git providers (GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket) and offers self-hosting for regulated teams
✓Deeply configurable: path-scoped instructions and persistent repo learnings let teams tune the noise down over time

×The core capability is commoditizing fast — GitHub Copilot code review and Gemini Code Assist now bundle PR review into subscriptions many teams already pay for
×Out of the box it is noisy on large PRs; getting signal-to-noise right takes real configuration work, not just installation
×Per-seat pricing billed annually, so there is no cheap monthly on-ramp to the full feature set
×Thin value for solo developers and small repos, where the free summaries plus a decent linter config cover most of the same ground

Coding · paid

✓Context comes from a real code-search index rather than a bolted-on vector store, so cross-repository answers cite actual definitions and references
✓Model routing through Amazon Bedrock or Azure OpenAI keeps inference inside your own cloud account — a hard requirement in regulated environments
✓Inherits Sourcegraph repository permissions, so it cannot surface code a user isn't cleared to see
✓Self-hosted and air-gapped deployment options that most AI coding assistants simply do not offer
✓Adds AI on top of an installation many large engineering orgs already run, rather than introducing a new vendor

×The self-serve Free and Pro tiers were retired in 2025 — individual developers can no longer buy this, which is a major change from earlier reviews
×Sourcegraph's agentic coding investment moved to Amp, so Cody no longer receives the company's headline feature work
×No autonomous multi-file agent loop comparable to Cursor, Claude Code, or Sourcegraph's own Amp
×Requires a Sourcegraph deployment and index before it delivers its one differentiator — a heavy prerequisite if you aren't already a customer
