Start here if the real choice is which editor should become the default daily coding surface for the team.
Enterprise AI coding assistant with deep codebase context
Enterprise teams that care about deep codebase context, larger-repo search, and policy controls more than having the slickest AI-native editing UX.
Cody can look cheap on sticker price, but the real value only shows up if Sourcegraph-level code search and broader repository context are part of the workflow. Without that surrounding stack, the price gap versus Copilot or Cursor is less meaningful than it first appears.
