Wow, the prices seem extremely high to me for a search engine across code repos.

$30/person is almost double what Stack Overflow charges, and that product can act as a frontend to search not just code but any type of documents, with voting, tagging, analytics on what confuses people the most and more.

It would be hard for me to justify even $10/person for something like Sourcegraph in my company (a Fortune 500 ecommerce brand), for the highest enterprise tier of functionality.

$30/person per month for the lowest tier? Boy, I wish I knew of companies willing to pay that. None in my experience ever have been.

My strategic advice is to get whatever's best in class, and not worry about $X0/month. Compared to what you should be spending on devs that rounds to free.

I’ve never heard of any company that does that. In all 6 of the large tech companies I’ve worked for, all of which were very profitable, this type of per-head cost would be a HUGE blocker to being allowed to requisition the tool.
