Cody (Sourcegraph)

Cody embeds AI-powered code search and generation directly into your editor, treating your entire codebase as context rather than relying solely on a language model's training data. It sits between GitHub Copilot (token-limited) and dedicated code search platforms, excelling at understanding interdependencies and suggesting refactors grounded in your actual code patterns. The free tier covers basic chat and search; paid plans start around $20/month for individuals and scale with team seats. The honest friction point: setup requires installing Sourcegraph infrastructure or connecting to an existing instance, making it less frictionless than drop-in competitors for solo developers.
