Pricing
FreemiumQodo uses a credit-based pricing model at $0.012 per credit, pooled across the team with no rate limits. The Pro Team plan is available with credit packs: 2,500 credits (~18 reviews/month), 5,000 credits (~36 reviews/month), and 20,000 credits (~144 reviews/month). There is no annual commitment on the Pro Team plan and a 14-day free trial is available with no credit card required. Additional credits can be purchased anytime. Enterprise pricing is custom and includes everything in Pro Team plus SSO/SAML, audit logs, BYOK (bring your own LLM keys), single-tenant SaaS, on-premises/air-gapped deployment, advanced governance analytics, advanced self-learning rules, Gerrit support, custom agentic workflows, dedicated CSM, priority support SLAs, and MSA/DPA commercial agreements. Open-source projects get free access to Qodo's hosted PR review. The open-source Qodo Merge (formerly PR-Agent) is freely self-hostable. There is no permanent free commercial tier for teams.
EnterpriseSourcegraph Cody previously offered three tiers: Cody Free (unlimited autocomplete, 200 chat messages/month), Cody Pro ($9\u2013$19/user/month), and Cody Enterprise. On July 23, 2025, Sourcegraph permanently discontinued the Free and Pro plans, consolidating Cody as an enterprise-only product. Cody Enterprise is the sole remaining plan, reported at approximately $59/user/month on an annual contract. Some bundled Sourcegraph platform packages start around $16,000/year with included AI-feature credits. All pricing is negotiated directly with Sourcegraph's sales team and varies by organization size, deployment model, and contract length. Enterprise includes admin-selectable LLMs (Claude, GPT, Gemini), SOC 2 Type II compliance, SAML SSO, RBAC, audit logs, full Sourcegraph platform integration (Code Search, Batch Changes, Code Insights), self-hosted or BYO cloud deployment for air-gapped environments, and guaranteed no training on customer code. Individual developers can use Sourcegraph's separate Amp product (currently free) as an alternative.

Qodo

Qodo Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Only platform purpose-built for governing AI-generated code — designed from the ground up for the agent-first era of software development
  • Self-learning rules system turns organizational knowledge into enforceable, machine-readable standards that every agent and developer follows
  • Open-source PR-Agent foundation with 14,000+ GitHub stars — transparent, community-audited, and self-hostable
  • Supports all four major Git platforms — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps, plus Gerrit (Enterprise)
  • Recognized by Gartner as a Visionary in AI-Augmented Development in September 2025, and cited by NVIDIA and Anthropic
  • Zero data retention by default — code is analyzed and discarded, never stored, logged, or used to train models

Cons

  • Credit-based pricing can be unpredictable for heavy users — large PRs and complex codebases consume more credits per review
  • No free permanent tier for teams — only a 14-day trial and free access for open-source projects
  • Primarily focused on code review and quality governance — not a full IDE coding assistant or autocomplete replacement like Cursor or Copilot
  • Enterprise features (SSO, BYOK, on-prem, advanced analytics) require a sales conversation for custom pricing
  • Can generate noisy reviews on very large PRs if context tuning is not configured — rules system setup requires initial investment
Sourcegraph Cody

Sourcegraph Cody Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Best-in-class multi-repository context — retrieves relevant code from across entire enterprise codebases, not just the open file
  • Deep integration with Sourcegraph Code Search, Code Navigation, and Batch Changes for a unified code intelligence platform
  • Admin-level LLM flexibility — choose Claude, GPT, or Gemini per use case without being locked to one model provider
  • Guaranteed no-training on customer code with SOC 2 Type II, self-hosted, and air-gapped deployment options
  • Trusted by over 1M engineers at Databricks, Plaid, Uber, Lyft, Reddit, GE, Dropbox, and Fortune 500 companies
  • Engineers report saving 5–6 hours per week and writing code 2x faster according to Sourcegraph customer data

Cons

  • Cody Free and Pro discontinued July 2025 — no self-serve individual tier; enterprise procurement via sales only
  • Pricing starts at ~$59/user/month on annual contract, significantly more expensive than GitHub Copilot or Cursor for small teams
  • Multi-repo context only works for codebases indexed in your Sourcegraph instance — disconnected repos are invisible to Cody
  • No bring-your-own-key (BYOK) model access for individual users — model selection is admin-controlled at the enterprise level
  • Requires Sourcegraph platform deployment — not a lightweight plugin for teams not already running Sourcegraph
  • Sales-led procurement only adds friction for teams that want to trial the product quickly without a contract
