Cody and Cursor used to be a real two-way comparison. They aren't anymore, and the reason isn't a feature gap — it's that one of them stopped selling.
What actually changed:
- Sourcegraph discontinued Cody Free and Cody Pro. New signups stopped 25 June 2025 and access for existing individual users ended 23 July 2025. Sourcegraph's own announcement pointed departing individuals at Amp, a separate product the company spun out in December 2025. Cody itself now exists only inside an Enterprise contract — Sourcegraph has started publishing a floor on that: "starting at $16K/yr."
- Cursor got more expensive at the bottom. After SpaceX's acquisition of Anysphere, Cursor rebuilt its plans: the $20/mo Pro tier is gone. What's left is Free, Plus ($8/mo, Grok models only, shared pool), Premium ($30/mo — the cheapest tier that can use Claude or GPT models, billed separately at API price), Super ($100), Ultra ($200), and Teams from $30/user/mo.
So what's the actual comparison now?
There isn't one, for most readers. If you don't already have Cody access through an employer's enterprise contract, you can't start using it today at any price — "which tool is better for me" collapses into "what do I use instead," and Cursor at $30/mo is the answer, not because it won a feature fight but because it's the one still open for new signups.
We checked both vendors' pricing pages directly before writing this rather than repeating older reviews that still quote Cursor's $20 tier or list Cody as something a new developer can sign up for.

We have no affiliate or commission relationship with either Cody/Sourcegraph or Cursor — checked 18 October 2026 for both. Sourcegraph's partner material is enterprise-reseller oriented, not a publisher programme; Cursor runs user referral credits, not a publisher programme.
