Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Cody
- Sourcegraph now publishes a single Enterprise plan starting at $16K, with no free or individual Pro tier listed on the pricing page
- sourcegraph.com/cody redirects to the documentation rather than a Cody product or pricing page
- AI features are metered as credits included per user, and exceeding the allocation requires buying a higher volume bucket
- Volume credit buckets are sold as an add-on rather than included
- A customer success manager and premium support are optional paid extras on top of the Enterprise plan
- Standard support is 24x5 rather than 24x7, with round-the-clock coverage sold as an upgrade
- The published $16K figure is a starting price that scales with team size, so the actual cost is quoted rather than listed
JFrog Artifactory
- SaaS Pro plan includes only 25 GB of base consumption before tiered overage of $1.25 per GB applies, per jfrog.com/pricing (Aug 2026); the promotional $50 per month rate reverts to $150 per month regular price
- Self-managed deployment starts at $27,000 per year for a single Pro X server, per jfrog.com/pricing, far above the SaaS entry price for teams that need to self-host
