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
NestJS
- Licensed under the MIT License per nestjs.com; the core framework has no paid tier, but the Enterprise support offering (architectural reviews, LTS, upgrade assistance) is sold by direct contact with no published rate
- Built specifically on TypeScript and Node.js, per nestjs.com's own description, so it requires that runtime and cannot be adopted independently of the Node.js ecosystem
