Sourcegraph Pricing 2026 and What Sourcegraph Enterprise Costs a 5 to 50 Developer Team

How much does Sourcegraph cost in 2026?

Sourcegraph sells one plan: Enterprise, starting at $16,000 a year on an annual contract. There is no self-serve tier, no monthly option and no published per-seat price. Everything above the minimum is negotiated with sales and depends mostly on how many people use it each month, and in some deals on how much code you index.

That is a big change from a few years ago, when a small team could put Cody Pro on a credit card for a few dollars per developer. If you are pricing Sourcegraph today for a team of 5 to 50 engineers, the $16,000 floor is the number that decides the conversation.

What is included in Sourcegraph Enterprise?

According to Sourcegraph's own pricing page, the Enterprise plan includes:

• Code search and navigation across your whole codebase, on all major code hosts
• AI-powered Deep Search, paid for with AI credits that are pooled across the organization
• Batch Changes, Code Insights and Monitoring
• MCP server, API and CLI access
• Single-tenant cloud or self-hosted deployment
• Enterprise security and admin controls, plus 24x5 support

Premium support, a customer success manager and extra AI credit buckets are sold as add-ons, and volume discounts are available for large seat counts.

Sourcegraph pricing at a glance

Is Sourcegraph Cody still available?

Only inside Sourcegraph Enterprise. Sourcegraph stopped new signups for Cody Free and Cody Pro in mid-2025 and moved individual developers toward Amp, its agentic coding tool, which it later spun out as a separate company. Some review sites still quote a Cody Enterprise figure of around $59 per user per month, but Sourcegraph does not publish that number today, so treat it as a reference point from past deals rather than a price you will be offered.

What does Sourcegraph actually cost a 5, 20 or 50 developer team?

Because the minimum is fixed and the per-seat rate is not, small teams pay the most per person. Here is the $16,000 floor spread across different team sizes:

At 50 seats, if your quote landed near the $59 per user reference, you would be looking at roughly $35,400 a year before AI credit add-ons. Your number could be higher or lower. The point is that the minimum only starts to feel efficient once you have a few dozen active users.

Hidden costs to ask about before you sign

The contract price is rarely the whole bill. Before you sign, get written answers on these:

• How active users are counted. Sourcegraph has historically counted anyone who uses the product in a month as an active user. A support engineer who searches once a month can count as a seat.
• AI usage beyond the included amount. Deep Search allowances are pooled, and extra usage is charged. Ask what happens when the pool runs out mid-month.
• Self-hosting overhead. Running it on your own infrastructure means compute, storage and an engineer's time for upgrades. That is real money even if it never shows up on the Sourcegraph invoice.
• Multi-year terms. Longer contracts usually lower the per-seat rate but lock you in if your team shrinks.

If you are in the middle of tracking SaaS spend across your developer tools, put the Sourcegraph renewal next to your IDE assistant and CI bills. Teams often find they are paying twice for overlapping AI features.

Is Sourcegraph worth it for a small team?

Sourcegraph is worth it when you have thousands of repositories, code spread across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or Perforce, a requirement to self-host, or large refactors that Batch Changes automates. Those are enterprise problems and Sourcegraph is priced for them.

It is usually not worth it for a team of 5 to 20 whose code lives on GitHub and whose real need is simpler: find where something is implemented, understand code nobody on the team wrote, and get new hires productive without pulling seniors into every question. For that job you are paying for capability you will not use.

Cheaper Sourcegraph alternatives for small teams

If the $16,000 minimum is the blocker, look at self-serve tools that focus on codebase understanding. CodeIndex is one: it indexes your GitHub repositories and answers plain-English questions with citations to the exact files, and it is priced per team rather than per seat.

A 20-person team on CodeIndex Pro pays $3,588 a year, and a 5-person team on Starter pays $1,188. We compare the two products feature by feature, including where Sourcegraph is the better choice, on our Sourcegraph alternative for small teams page. Full plan details are on the CodeIndex pricing page, and the semantic code search and codebase Q&A overview shows what an answer with file citations looks like.

What about DeepWiki or GitHub code search instead?

Two other options come up in almost every Sourcegraph pricing conversation. GitHub's built-in code search is included with GitHub and handles exact strings and regex across your private repos, which we compare side by side in our guide to code search tools for private GitHub repos. DeepWiki is free for public repos, but private code needs a paid Devin plan, which on Teams is $40 per developer seat with an $80 monthly minimum; see the DeepWiki alternative for private repos breakdown.

How to get the best price from Sourcegraph if you do buy

• Count your real monthly active users before the call, not your total headcount.
• Ask for AI credit overage pricing in writing, and for a cap.
• Compare a one-year and a multi-year quote side by side, and only take the longer term if you are confident in your headcount.
• Run a trial of a self-serve alternative at the same time. A credible second option is the most effective negotiating tool you have.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Sourcegraph cost?

Sourcegraph Enterprise starts at $16,000 per year on an annual contract. It is the only plan Sourcegraph sells, there is no published per-user price, and the final number is negotiated with sales based mainly on monthly active users and AI usage.

Does Sourcegraph have a free plan?

No. Sourcegraph closed Cody Free and Cody Pro to new signups in 2025, and its pricing page now lists only the Enterprise plan. Teams that want a self-serve option usually look at tools such as CodeIndex, which starts at $99 a month for 5 users.

How much is Sourcegraph per user?

Sourcegraph does not publish a per-user rate. Some Cody Enterprise listings cite about $59 per user per month, but current pricing is quoted per deal. At the $16,000 minimum, a 10-person team effectively pays about $133 per developer per month.

How much does Sourcegraph Cody cost?

Sourcegraph Cody is no longer sold on its own. Cody Free and Cody Pro closed to new signups in 2025, and Cody Enterprise was folded into Sourcegraph Enterprise, which starts at $16,000 a year. Third-party listings cite about $59 per user per month for Cody Enterprise, but Sourcegraph quotes each deal.

What is Sourcegraph Deep Search pricing?

Since October 15, 2025, each Code Search seat includes 3 Deep Searches per month, shared across the organization, and usage beyond that is billed. Sourcegraph now handles AI usage through credits pooled across the org, with extra credit buckets sold as add-ons.
