Why Switch from GitHub Copilot?
GitHub Copilot charges per user and raises concerns about code licensing and intellectual property. Cody by Sourcegraph offers AI code assistance with deep codebase context through its code graph. It understands your entire repository, not just the current file, providing more relevant suggestions. Cody's free tier and transparent approach to code context make it compelling for individual developers and teams.
