Before You Pay
Decision check- ✓Cody Free and Pro individual plans were discontinued in 2025, so historical $9 Pro pricing should not be treated as a current purchase option.
- ✓Current public Sourcegraph pricing is enterprise-oriented; evaluate the broader code intelligence platform and AI-feature credits rather than Cody as a standalone personal subscription.
- ✓Confirm repository scale, deployment model, supported integrations, and expected AI-feature credit usage before comparing Sourcegraph with lightweight editor assistants.
- ✓Teams migrating from historical Cody individual workflows should separate personal assistant expectations from enterprise search, code intelligence, and governance requirements.
