Pricing Compared
Starting price reflects the lowest paid tier, not the full cost for every team size or usage level.
Powerful agentic capabilities that go beyond simple autocomplete
Supports a broad range of languages and works across popular IDEs
Free tier available for individual developers to try the product
Now backed by Cognition's Devin technology for deeper task automation
Established product with a large existing user base from its Codeium roots
Cons
Product direction and branding are in flux following the 2025 Cognition acquisition
Key original founders and researchers left for Google shortly before the acquisition
Users may need to migrate workflows as the product shifts toward Devin Desktop
Per-seat Teams and Enterprise pricing can become costly for larger organizations
Sourcegraph Cody
Pros
Deep context from an entire remote codebase, not just open files
Well suited to very large enterprise monorepos
Integrates with major IDEs developers already use
Backed by Sourcegraph's mature code search infrastructure
Built for enterprise governance and security needs
Cons
No self-serve free or Pro tier since mid-2025; Enterprise only
Pricing requires a sales contract and is less transparent than tools like GitHub Copilot or Cursor
Best suited to large organizations rather than individuals or small teams
Requires a Sourcegraph Enterprise deployment to access Cody at all
Use Cases
Windsurf
Agentic feature development — Developers delegate multi-file coding tasks to the Cascade agent to speed up feature implementation.
Team-based AI-assisted coding — Engineering teams use Teams or Enterprise plans for shared AI coding assistance with admin controls.
Multi-agent coding workflows — Developers use the Agent Client Protocol to run several coding agents, including Devin, in one workspace.
Sourcegraph Cody
AI-assisted development in large monorepos — Helps engineers navigate and modify code safely across sprawling enterprise codebases.
Faster developer onboarding — Lets new engineers ask natural-language questions about unfamiliar systems instead of manually tracing code.
Standardized AI-assisted code review and refactoring — Uses shared prompts to apply consistent patterns for tests, documentation, and refactors across teams.
