Sourcegraph Cody Alternatives

Short answer

Sourcegraph ended Cody Free and Cody Pro on 23 July 2025; only Cody Enterprise remains, and Sourcegraph points individuals to Amp. Former Cody users usually move to GitHub Copilot ($10 a month), Cursor ($20) or a terminal agent: Claude Code (in paid Claude plans), OpenAI Codex (in several ChatGPT plans) or the free Gemini CLI.

Replacements for Cody Free and Pro

Switching cost

Cody's strength was search across large codebases. Editor assistants (Copilot, Cursor) and terminal agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) all read your local repository; check how each handles very large monorepos before moving a whole team. Settings and custom prompts do not transfer automatically.
