Sold only inside Sourcegraph Enterprise contracts through sales; the Sourcegraph pricing page shows an Enterprise plan starting at $16K as a minimum annual contract and does not mention Cody. The self-serve Free, Pro and Enterprise Starter tiers ended in July 2025.
Use tool ↗About Cody
Cody is Sourcegraph's coding assistant that answers questions and writes code using the company's code search index as retrieval context, so it can reference files across a large monorepo rather than only the open buffer. It runs inside VS Code and JetBrains IDEs and can be pointed at different underlying models. Since mid-2025 it is sold only to Sourcegraph Enterprise customers, with the self-serve tiers withdrawn and individual developers pushed toward Amp.

Pros & cons of Cody
Only worth evaluating if you already run Sourcegraph and your codebase is big enough that repository-wide retrieval actually changes answers. Solo developers and small teams cannot buy it at all any more.
Pros
- Retrieval is backed by a real code search index rather than ad-hoc embeddings over an open folder
- Underlying model is configurable instead of locked to one vendor
- Enterprise controls: self-hosting, admin policy and audit
Cons
- No free or self-serve tier since July 2025
- Priced as part of a Sourcegraph contract, which the vendor lists as starting around $16K
- Sourcegraph's product momentum moved to Amp, which split off as a separate company in December 2025
- sourcegraph.com/cody now redirects to documentation instead of a product page
Best for
- Large orgs already licensed for Sourcegraph code search
- Monorepos where cross-repo context beats file-level autocomplete
- Security-constrained teams needing self-hosted or VPC deployment
Not for
- Individual developers and startups, since there is no self-serve plan
- Terminal-first agentic workflows, which Sourcegraph moved to Amp
Watch out: Sourcegraph's public pricing page no longer mentions Cody at all, so treat long-term roadmap commitment as an open question during procurement.
