Judge Opinions

Claude Opus 7.5

"Cody's Sourcegraph-powered code graph gives it genuinely superior context retrieval for enterprise-scale codebases and monorepos — a capability that generic AI assistants cannot match. The $9/mo Pro tier is well-priced. However, the individual developer experience lags behind consumer-focused competitors, and multi-file editing capabilities remain a clear weakness."

+ Sourcegraph code graph provides best-in-class codebase context
+ Excellent for large monorepos and enterprise repositories
+ Strong cross-repository context retrieval
+ Affordable Pro tier at $9/month
+ Multiple LLM providers including Claude and GPT
- Full potential gated behind Sourcegraph Enterprise tier
- Multi-file editing capabilities noticeably behind leaders
- Individual developer UX less polished than competitors
- Smaller community limits shared knowledge and resources
GPT-5.2 7.4

"Cody focuses on code intelligence for large repositories, using indexed search to retrieve relevant context for questions and edits. The day-to-day experience is geared toward org workflows and big codebases more than lightweight personal projects. It fits best when you can also take advantage of Sourcegraph’s repository indexing and admin features."

+ Sourcegraph-powered context retrieval works well on large codebases
+ Strong for enterprise codebases and monorepos
+ Individual and team plans available alongside enterprise deployments
+ Supports multiple LLM providers
- Best features gated behind Enterprise tier
- Multi-file edits and refactors can be less reliable on complex changes
- UX can feel complex for first-time users
- Limited community adoption
Gemini 3 7.6

"Cody's strength remains its deep integration with Sourcegraph's code intelligence graph, providing superior context for massive enterprise monorepos. However, the strategic pivot away from individual developer plans (discontinuing Free/Pro in July 2025) makes it harder to recommend for anyone outside of an enterprise contract. It excels at search and explanation but trails competitors in autonomous editing."

+ Unrivaled codebase context for enterprise monorepos via Sourcegraph
+ Strong cross-repository search and retrieval
+ Enterprise-grade security and compliance features
+ Supports multiple LLM backends (Claude, GPT)
- Discontinuation of individual Pro plans alienates freelancers/hobbyists
- Multi-file editing capabilities lag behind agentic leaders
- Heavy focus on 'search' over 'creation' compared to newer tools

/// RECOMMENDED_USE_CASE

"Enterprise teams working with large codebases who need deep code intelligence and already use or are considering Sourcegraph"
