I'm exploring alternatives to Sourcegraph Cody for code intelligence and AI-powered code search. I've come across OpenClaw, which appears to be a more affordable option. Has anyone had experience using OpenClaw? How does it compare in terms of features, performance, and cost? Looking forward to hearing your insights!

I've used OpenClaw for a few months now. The pricing is definitely more budget-friendly than Sourcegraph Cody. The features are solid, though I did notice that Cody has a more polished user interface and some advanced AI features.
I tried both and ended up sticking with Sourcegraph Cody because it integrates smoothly with our existing DevOps pipeline. OpenClaw is cheaper but required more customization work from my team.
OpenClaw is a great option if cost is a primary concern. It might lack some bells and whistles of Cody, but for basic code search and AI suggestions, it does the job well.
Has anyone benchmarked the performance between the two? I'm curious if the cost savings with OpenClaw come with any trade-offs in speed or accuracy.
