Code Fundi vs Hound

Both stand on code search tools. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Code Fundi

Free plan APIExtensionWeb

Code Fundi combines repository search, AI-assisted research and codebase mapping across web, API and editor integrations. Review credit allowances, repository caps and the Dev-plan requirement for blast-radius analysis when assessing whether a plan fits.
