Pricing
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.
PaidAugment Code uses a usage-based pricing model with two tiers. The Business plan costs $100/month flat for up to 50 seats. This includes $100 of pooled monthly usage across LLM inference (billed at provider list price + 40% service fee), Context Engine API calls, and Cosmos compute. Usage is shared across the whole team. Top-ups are available pay-as-you-go at any time; top-ups expire 12 months after purchase.
The Enterprise plan has custom pricing for teams over 50 seats. It adds custom usage limits and top-up rates, volume-based annual discounts, SSO/OIDC/SCIM, Customer Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK), ISO/IEC 42001 compliance, SIEM integration, data residency options, granular audit trails, multi-region compute, unlimited concurrent sessions, and a dedicated customer success manager with priority support.
All paid plans include a guarantee of no AI training on customer data. A 7-day free trial is available. Previously Augment charged $60/active user/month under a named-seat model before switching to flat/usage-based pricing in October 2025.

Summary
AI coding assistant with deep context across your entire codebase
AI coding agent with deep Context Engine for large enterprise codebases
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
Augment Code Pros & Cons
Pros
- Deepest codebase context of any AI coding tool — Context Engine indexes 400K+ files with semantic graphs, not just open tabs
- #1 on SWE-bench Pro at 51.80% (Auggie CLI) — top publicly benchmarked coding agent score at publication
- First and only AI coding assistant with ISO/IEC 42001 certification alongside SOC 2 Type II and CMEK
- Usage-based flat pricing ($100/mo for up to 50 seats) is more predictable than per-seat models for variable teams
- Cosmos platform covers the full SDLC — from ticket to PR, code review, tests, incidents, migrations, and onboarding
- Trusted by Adobe, MongoDB, Webflow, Snyk, Pure Storage, Crypto.com, Tekion, and DXC across enterprise codebases
Cons
- No free individual tier — Business plan starts at $100/month with a team minimum; sole developers pay full price for low usage
- Pricing changed three times in 18 months (2023–2025), causing some developer community backlash and unpredictability concerns
- IDE support limited to VS Code and JetBrains — no standalone IDE, no Neovim full feature parity, no Visual Studio
- Closed-source with no self-hosting option — all computation runs on Augment's infrastructure or Enterprise cloud tenants
- Context Engine first-run indexing takes 15–30 minutes on large repos before initial suggestions become fully accurate
- Enterprise plan requires sales contact for pricing — no public list price above the Business tier
