Sourcegraph Cody

Sourcegraph stopped selling Cody to individuals in July 2025. For a while it had been one of the better free alternatives to GitHub Copilot, with a generous free tier and a Pro plan for heavier use. Now it's a feature of Sourcegraph's enterprise platform, and the company's pricing page doesn't even name it.

The extension still exists, though, and enterprise customers keep getting updates. Whether Cody is relevant to you depends entirely on where you work.

What happened to Free and Pro

Sourcegraph closed new Free and Pro sign-ups in June 2025 and ended both plans in July. Existing users were steered toward Amp, the agentic coding tool Sourcegraph was building at the time. Amp has since become a separate company and calls itself an independent agent research lab.

Cody's own marketplace listings now carry the message plainly. The JetBrains plugin page opens with a note that Cody is no longer available for non-enterprise users. Its documentation describes Cody as "supported on Sourcegraph Enterprise."

What enterprise customers get

Inside a Sourcegraph Enterprise deployment, Cody works in VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, the Sourcegraph web app and, experimentally, Visual Studio. A command-line version exists too. Its main features are chat with context from your repositories and auto-edit suggestions as you type. Reusable prompts and context filters, which keep chosen repositories out of its answers, round it out.

The difference from most assistants is where the context comes from. Cody draws on Sourcegraph's code search, so it can pull in code from remote repositories, not just the files open on your machine. That's the selling point for companies with thousands of repositories.

Both main extensions are still maintained. The VS Code version, with close to 900,000 installs, and the JetBrains plugin each received a new release on June 17, 2026.

What Sourcegraph Enterprise costs

There's one plan. It starts at $16,000 a year as a minimum annual contract and includes credits for AI features, which scale with team size. Credits are pooled across the organization, don't expire monthly, and purchased buckets roll over at renewal.

The plan itself is mostly about code understanding: search and navigation across every repository, AI-powered Deep Search, Batch Changes for large refactors, code insights and monitoring. An MCP server and an API come with it, and Sourcegraph says the platform works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Amp. In other words, Sourcegraph now sells itself as the context layer for whichever coding agent a company prefers, with Cody as one way to use it.

Options for everyone else

GitHub Copilot has a free tier with 2,000 completions a month and Pro at $10, and it runs in VS Code and JetBrains IDEs. Cursor builds the editor around agents. Cline is free and open source if you bring your own model key. Amp itself has a free Hobby tier for people who use their own ChatGPT or Claude subscriptions, and paid tiers from $20 a month.

Teams that need codebase-wide context without a Sourcegraph contract should look at Augment Code, which targets large repositories directly. The AI coding tools guide compares current prices.

If your employer already runs Sourcegraph, ask your admin whether Cody is switched on. It may already be included in the contract you're covered by.
