Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Replicate
- Private model deployments are billed for all the time instances are online, including setup and idle time, not only for processing
- Multi-GPU A100, H100, H200 and L40S capacity beyond the listed configurations is only available with a committed spend contract
- The pricing page publishes no free tier allowance
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
