CodeSee (Restricted / Legacy Availability)

CodeSee was a codebase visualization and code-review mapping platform. Its founder announced the standalone service's closure in February 2024, and GitKraken acquired CodeSee in May 2024. This is a historical software profile, not an active standalone recommendation.

Pricing & access

What it takes to adopt each tool.

Pricing status, free-plan availability and developer ownership are surfaced without hiding unknown vendor data.

Software ACodeSee (Restricted / Legacy Availability)
Starting priceNot publicly available
Pricing modelRestricted / no current public self-service pricing
Free planNo / not listed
DeveloperCodeSee, Inc.

CodeSee's public docs still describe Community, Business and Enterprise concepts, but CodeSee also documents removal of its GitHub App and the current app endpoint is access-gated. Lorezi therefore does not treat the old Free plan or undocumented Business pricing as currently available self-service pricing.
