Cody (Sourcegraph) is the same company as Sourcegraph. Codegen focuses on AI code generation for specific frameworks. Cursor is the AI-first code editor. Copilot is the inline AI assistant. Each has a different focus. I use Cursor for day-to-day coding, Cody for cross-repo context, and Copilot for quick completions.
For 20% of senior dev tasks: yes. Boilerplate, refactoring, code review, documentation. For 80%: no. Architecture design, complex business logic, debugging production issues, anything requiring deep domain knowledge. I use Codegen for 20% of my work and write the rest myself.
Codegen Team at $19/user/mo: $190/mo for 10 devs. Cursor Business at $40/user/mo: $400/mo. Copilot Business at $19/user/mo: $190/mo. For a team of 10, the cost is $190-$400/mo. The productivity gain is typically 20-30%, which pays for the subscription easily.
Codegen is better for individual developers. Cursor and Copilot are better for teams because they integrate with team workflows (PR reviews, code standards). For a solo founder, any of the three works. For a team of 5+, Cursor and Copilot are the safer bet.
I've been testing and reviewing AI tools for 2+ years. I run saas.pet as a side project while working as a software engineer. I buy every subscription I review. No vendor pitches, no free accounts. If a tool is in my rotation, I pay for it.
