Sourcegraph Cody

Our Verdict

Cody by Sourcegraph is unique among AI coding assistants in that it doesn't use a proprietary LLM — instead, it lets you choose your own model (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, or local models). This makes it the most flexible AI coding tool for teams with specific model preferences or privacy requirements. Cody's biggest strength is codebase understanding: it uses Sourcegraph's code search infrastructure to index your entire codebase and provide context-aware answers about any part of it. The free plan is limited (9 chats, 500 autocompletes/month), but the Pro at $9/month is affordable. For enterprise teams with large codebases, Cody's ability to work with on-prem models and its enterprise deployment options make it the most privacy-friendly AI coding assistant available.
