Sourcegraph

Developer platform spanning Amp (agentic coding with CLI and editor) and Sourcegraph Enterprise code intelligence, with Cody retained for enterprise customers.

8.3/10
Overall Score
Recommend

Sourcegraph is a solid coding-agent choice via Amp's public tiers, with Enterprise search/Cody for large codebases. Fit depends on agent vs. platform needs.

Best for

Teams that want an agentic coding harness (Amp) with public pricing, or enterprises that already run Sourcegraph code search and need AI on large repos.

Not ideal for

Buyers still expecting Cody Free/Pro self-serve chat, or orgs that only want a lightweight autocomplete plugin with a single flat seat fee.

Verdict

Sourcegraph remains a recommend for developers who want Amp's agentic workflow with honest public tiers, and for enterprises that pair code search with AI credits. Practitioners like the CLI-plus-editor model, subagents, and multi-model routing; polish still trails some rivals on day-one UX. Treat Cody as an Enterprise-only path after Free/Pro sunset, and budget Amp usage as credits that can climb on long threads.

Review Excerpts

Below are excerpts from public reviews. Paid reviews and pay-for-play sites such as Clutch were excluded.

What people like

“If you like Claude Code but prefer an agent that doesn't ask for review on each file edit, or miss the IDE for reviewing diffs, I'd humbly submit you try out Amp. It has both a CLI and VS Code extension.”

What people like

“Sourcegraph Amp is pretty good as well albeit lacking a lot of the polish and features of Claude Code. But I sometimes reach for it for code review in particular since it calls out to o3 via its "oracle" tool.”

What people like

“AMP also provides really important features of a harness that others haven't quite caught up on.”

What people don't like

“Cody Free and Pro are gone. If you expected a cheap self-serve chat seat, you are now on Amp credits or an Enterprise conversation.”
