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

MicroStrategy

  • MicroStrategy has rebranded to Strategy and microstrategy.com/pricing now redirects to software.strategy.com, which is a product page with no pricing on it
  • No rate, no per-user price, no minimum and no named cost driver is published anywhere on the destination page
  • The only routes offered are a custom ROI analysis, a demo request or a proof-of-value pilot
  • The product is positioned around a proof-of-value pilot and an approved architecture, implying a scoped implementation rather than self-serve purchase
