Verdict: situational Verdict text: Enterprise platform for huge codebases with a Context Engine that indexes 400K+ files across repos and Cosmos/Intent multi-agent orchestration. Supports Claude, GPT-5.x, Gemini and Kimi with Prism routing. Fits teams with monorepos and hard security bars (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 42001, CMEK). Main catch is the $100/mo minimum after individual plans were retired, plus usage-based overage that makes the bill unpredictable with active agents. Limitations: - Minimum plan is $100/mo — individual plans (~$20-60) retired, out of reach for solo devs. - Usage-based billing (LLM + 40% fee + $0.19/hr compute) scales unpredictably. - Heavy onboarding — initial indexing of large codebases takes tens of minutes before the Context Engine pays off.

Strengths
- Context Engine indexes 400K+ files across repos for huge codebases.
- Cosmos/Intent multi-agent orchestration with Prism routing across several models.
- Enterprise security bars: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 42001, CMEK.
Known limitations
- Minimum plan is $100/mo — individual plans (~$20-60) retired, out of reach for solo devs.
- Usage-based billing (LLM + 40% fee + $0.19/hr compute) scales unpredictably.
- Heavy onboarding — initial indexing of large codebases takes tens of minutes before the Context Engine pays off.
Use it when
- Large monorepos where context span is the bottleneck.
- Teams with strict security and compliance requirements for AI coding tools.
Skip it when
- Solo developers or small teams hit by the $100/mo minimum.
- Unpredictable usage-based overage would break the budget.
- You need fast onboarding without tens of minutes of initial indexing.
Buy-check
- ·Price — paid, Business $100/mo flat (up to 50 seats, $100 usage included); Enterprise custom. Overage: provider LLM pricing + 40% service fee + Cosmos compute $0.19/hr. Trial: 30,000 credits with a card on file; no perpetual free tier. as of 2026-08-24. Open the pricing page, not a screenshot.
- ·Free tier — No free tier — the trial clock starts at checkout.
- ·Cancel fallout — What happens to your data/projects on cancel — check the ToS, not the FAQ.
- ·Seat math — Per-seat pricing multiplies quietly. Count seats before the annual plan.
- ·Who skips it — Also skipped when: Solo developers or small teams hit by the $100/mo minimum.; Unpredictable usage-based overage would break the budget..
