Pros & Cons

Sourcegraph Cody

  • Genuinely deep full-codebase and cross-repo context provides more accurate answers than single-file-context tools
  • Actively developed and focused specifically on complex, large-scale enterprise engineering needs
  • Sourcegraph Enterprise bundles AI-feature credits, cross-repo context, and model controls together
  • Free and Pro tiers were discontinued entirely on July 23, 2025, eliminating access for individual developers
  • Enterprise contracts start at $16,000, well outside the budget of indie developers or small teams
  • Per-user rate of $59/month on top of the enterprise contract adds further cost at scale

Gemini

  • Deeply integrated across Google’s broader ecosystem (Search, Workspace, Android)
  • Ultra tier pricing was reduced from its original $250/month, improving accessibility
  • API pricing offers genuinely low-cost options (Flash-Lite at $0.10/million tokens) for cost-sensitive applications
  • Full Workspace integration requires at least Business Standard ($14/user/month), not available on cheaper Workspace tiers
  • Credit-based system layered on top of tier usage limits adds complexity to understanding real usage capacity
  • Ultra tier’s $99.99-$199.99/month range represents significant cost for maximum usage limits and Deep Think access
