Cursor vs Amp Code (by Sourcegraph): Side-by-Side Comparison 2026
Cursor vs Amp Code (by Sourcegraph) comparison for 2026. Features, pricing, AI capabilities, and editor support analyzed side by side to help you choose the right coding tool for your workflow.
Sourcegraph Cody is built on top of Sourcegraph's code search platform. The pitch is enterprise-grade context: Cody pulls answers from your entire codebase using Sourcegraph's index, which matters most in large polyrepos and monorepos. Cursor is a stand-alone product with its own indexing, optimized for individual developer experience. If your company already uses Sourcegraph for code search, Cody is the natural extension. If you don't, Cursor is the easier on-ramp.
