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
Warp
- Limited cloud agents access on free tier
- Limited collaboration features on free tier
- Limited cloud conversation storage on free tier
- IME input not properly handled on macOS (discarded during command or Agent output)
- Terminal zoom functionality does not properly resize grid in TUI applications, causing misaligned rendering
- Multi-language (i18n) support missing as of documentation
- Requires macOS 10.14 or later (excludes older Mac hardware)
- Requires Windows 10 build 1903 or later (excludes pre-build 1903 systems)
- Linux requires glibc 2.31 or higher and GPU support (OpenGL ES 3.0+ or Vulkan) for rendering
