The short version

  • Only Cody has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Cody sourcegraph now publishes a single Enterprise plan starting at $16K, with no free or individual Pro tier listed on the pricing page; Personetics insight quality depends entirely on transaction categorisation and merchant enrichment, so a bank with poor data produces wrong or embarrassing prompts that damage trust rather than build it.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

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

Personetics

  • Insight quality depends entirely on transaction categorisation and merchant enrichment, so a bank with poor data produces wrong or embarrassing prompts that damage trust rather than build it.
  • Attributing incremental balances to nudges requires a properly run holdout group, and most banks do not run one, so the business case is usually correlation presented as causation.
  • Deployment is a six to twelve month data and integration programme, not a plug in, and it competes for the same engineering resource as the digital channel roadmap.
  • Pricing is enterprise scale and quoted on customer counts, which puts it beyond most community banks and credit unions where engagement gains would be proportionally largest.
  • It is an engagement layer with no system of record, so if the underlying digital banking app is poor, insights are being layered onto an experience customers already avoid.

Source

No. It enriches the app you already have by delivering insights and prompts into it.

Personetics: How is the return on investment measured?

Usually incremental savings balances and engagement lift. Insist on a holdout group in the pilot, or the numbers will overstate the effect.

Source
Personetics: How long does deployment take?
