The short version
- Only Galileo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Galileo the free plan is limited to 5,000 traces per month, which is quickly outgrown by production workloads.; Sourcegraph Cody no longer available to individual developers or small teams after free and Pro tiers were discontinued in mid-2025
- They diverge on capability: Galileo covers Pre-built evaluations, Sourcegraph Cody covers Multi-repository context.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Galileo
- The free plan is limited to 5,000 traces per month, which is quickly outgrown by production workloads.
- Real-time guardrails and unlimited trace capacity are reserved for the custom-priced Enterprise tier.
- Pro plan pricing scales with trace volume, so costs can grow unpredictably as usage increases.
- On-premises deployment requires an Enterprise contract rather than being available self-serve.
Sourcegraph Cody
- No longer available to individual developers or small teams after free and Pro tiers were discontinued in mid-2025
- Priced substantially higher than many competing AI coding assistants, with Enterprise plans typically requiring annual contracts
- Sourcegraph has shifted its individual-developer focus to a separate product, Amp, creating uncertainty about Cody's long-term product priority
- Requires integration with Sourcegraph's broader code intelligence platform rather than working as a lightweight standalone extension
