Sourcegraph Cody

Cody is an AI coding assistant by Sourcegraph that provides code-aware AI chat and completions. It uses your entire codebase and the open-source code graph to provide accurate, context-rich coding assistance.

No. Cody discontinued its Free and Pro plans in July 2025 and is now enterprise-only. Enterprise pricing is custom, with contracts starting at a $16K annual minimum.

Cody is backed by Sourcegraph code intelligence platform, giving it deep understanding of large codebases and open-source context. It can search across your entire code repository and reference open-source code for more accurate suggestions.

Cody has stronger codebase-wide search and context understanding. Copilot has better inline suggestion speed. Cody suits large codebases and code search; Copilot for quick inline completions.

Yes, Cody integrates with VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Neovim, and has a web-based interface. It provides consistent AI coding assistance across all major development environments.

Yes, Cody can search and understand code across your entire repository, even very large ones. This codebase awareness allows it to provide suggestions that account for how different parts of your code interact.

Sourcegraph discontinued the Free and Pro tiers and now offers Cody as an enterprise product with custom pricing starting from around $16,000 per year. Individual developers who relied on the free tier need to move to another assistant, while the enterprise plan focuses on organization-wide codebase context, security review, and deployment support. Existing customers should confirm migration details with Sourcegraph directly.

Cody moved to an Enterprise custom model with a minimum around 16,000 dollars per year, and the previous Free and Pro self-serve plans are discontinued. There is no per seat public price anymore, so you get a quote based on team size and usage. For budgeting purposes, treat it as a five figure annual commitment from day one, which is why the evaluation usually happens at the engineering leadership level rather than by individual developers.

Not on a self-serve basis anymore: the Free and Pro plans were discontinued, so individual access ended with them. Solo developers who want codebase aware assistance on a budget generally look at tools that still have individual tiers, for example Tabnine with a free plan and a Dev tier at 12 dollars per user per month. Cody itself is now positioned for organizations buying Enterprise, so personal projects and small teams are no longer its target.

Multi repository understanding means Cody draws context across the separate repos that make up one product, not just the repo you currently have open. In practice that helps when a change in the service repo affects the client repo, or when shared libraries live in their own repository: suggestions reference the real definitions and patterns from related codebases instead of guessing from the single file on screen. That is the core differentiator versus assistants that only index the active workspace.

It earns its keep where codebase complexity is the bottleneck: organizations with dozens of repositories, years of history, and hard onboarding problems get the most value from codebase wide search plus contextually aware completion. At the roughly 16,000 dollar per year minimum, a team of five hobby projects cannot justify it, but a 200 developer org where every engineer saves even twenty minutes a week clears the bar easily. The honest test is whether finding things, not writing them, is where your team loses time.

Yes. Inline completion is one of its three headline capabilities alongside codebase wide search and multi repository understanding: as you type, it completes lines and blocks using context pulled from your actual codebase, so completions tend to use your real function names, types, and internal patterns rather than generic library guesses. For enterprises evaluating it, completion quality on private internal code is the demo that matters most, since that is where context aware tools separate from generic ones.
