Sourcegraph has become pretty obscenely expensive in the last couple years (with borderline hostile sales folks to boot). I know at least one company who would love to be able to cancel that contract if GH search is "good enough" now.

Sourcegraph CEO here. We definitely need a cheaper tier for smaller companies or those who don’t need our entire feature set. I agree! What do you think that should be?

Overall, we’re building what our customers need, and our product goes way beyond what GitHub can offer. Sourcegraph indexes all the code and increasingly all the code intelligence (including code nav but also code ownership and other metadata in the future from your other dev tools). We charge based on active usage, so we make money when devs at customers /choose/ to use us over the alternatives. We’re trying to do this the right way, and tons of customers agree. (If anyone reading this disagrees, please let me know!)

Re: your comment about our sales team, I’m really sorry to hear that and want to understand more so I can fix the problem. Can you please email me at sqs@sourcegraph.com?
