Sourcegraph Cody Is Enterprise-Only: What Changed and What Teams Use Now (2026)

Cody Free and Pro were discontinued on 23 July 2025. What that means if your team is on Cody Enterprise, what Amp is, and why most 2026 reviews still get this wrong.

If you are reading a 2026 review that says Cody has a generous free tier, it is wrong. So was ours, until this week — more on that at the bottom, because it is the useful part of this page.

What actually happened, from Sourcegraph

From Sourcegraph’s own announcement:

DateWhat happened
25 June 2025New signups stopped for Cody Free and Cody Pro. New Enterprise Starter workspaces no longer included Cody.
23 July 2025Access ended for Cody Free, Cody Pro, and Enterprise Starter. Pro users were not charged for that final period.

Existing Cody Enterprise customers were explicitly unaffected and remain fully supported.

Departing users were offered Amp credits to transition — $10 for Free users, $40 for Pro and Enterprise Starter users.

What Sourcegraph sells now

Sourcegraph’s pricing page today lists an Enterprise plan and does not mention Cody by name at all. sourcegraph.com/cody redirects to documentation rather than a product page.

Two products, two audiences:

Amp is the individual-developer answer. Free tier with autocomplete and the core agent, then a pay-as-you-go credit model. It is agent-shaped rather than completion-shaped — closer to Claude Code than to what Cody was.

Cody, inside Sourcegraph Enterprise, is the code-intelligence platform: multi-repo context, context filters, single-tenant deployment, the compliance surface. Third-party sources widely quote $59/user/month with a 25-developer minimum, but we could not confirm that on Sourcegraph’s own pricing page, which lists Enterprise as custom. Treat any specific figure you see, including that one, as unverified until sales quotes you.

What this means for you

If your team is on Cody Enterprise — nothing breaks. But it is worth knowing that Sourcegraph’s individual-developer energy has moved to Amp, and that the company now sells Cody as one capability inside a platform rather than as a standalone assistant. If you bought it as “an AI coding assistant”, you are now buying a code-intelligence platform. That may still be right; it is a different purchase.

If you were on Enterprise Starter — you lost Cody in July 2025 and kept Code Search. Whatever you replaced it with is your answer already.

If you are evaluating Cody in 2026 — you cannot. There is no self-serve tier, no trial you can start yourself, and no published price. Every evaluation runs through sales. For a team of fewer than 25, it is not on the table.

GitHub Copilot Business, $19/seat — the default replacement for a team that wants an in-editor assistant with admin controls and a predictable invoice. Runs in every major IDE.

Try GitHub Copilot

Cursor Teams, $40/seat — stronger agent, but your team changes editor. Note that SpaceX agreed to acquire Cursor’s parent for $60B, expected to close in Q3 2026.

Claude Code, $20/mo via Pro — if the appeal of Cody was codebase-wide understanding rather than autocomplete, this is the closer match in spirit. It runs alongside any editor and owns whole tasks. No published per-seat team plan.

Amp — Sourcegraph’s own answer, if you liked their approach and want to stay with the vendor. Free tier means you can actually try it, which Cody no longer offers.

At 50 seats, Copilot Business is $11,400/year. A quoted Cody Enterprise at the widely-reported $59/seat would be $35,400 — a $24,000/year difference that deserves a real comparison rather than an assumption that the incumbent stays.

Why almost every review still gets this wrong

This change is thirteen months old and most “best AI coding tools 2026” articles still list Cody with a free tier. Ours did too, until 15 August 2026.

That is worth saying plainly rather than quietly correcting, because it tells you something about how to read tool reviews generally: most are written once and never re-checked. A vendor discontinuing a product does not send anyone an email.

We now re-verify every price on this site against the vendor’s own pricing page and record the date we did it, and a failing check blocks publication. That is why Cody’s entry here reads “Enterprise only” with no number attached — because Sourcegraph does not publish one, and inventing a figure to fill the column is how this happens in the first place.
