> **☁️ SocratiCode Cloud (private beta)** — Hosted, shared team index built on the same engine as the open-source version, plus SSO, audit logs, branch-aware indexing, and VPC / air-gapped deployment options. The open-source core remains free forever. [Request early access →](https://socraticode.cloud)

**One thing, done well: deep codebase
