Pricing
PaidGemini Code Assist is available in two editions for teams and businesses, priced per user per month. Standard costs $22.80/user/month (monthly) or $19/user/month (annual commitment). It includes AI code completions, inline code generation, natural language chat in IDEs, smart actions, local codebase awareness, Gemini CLI terminal access, Gemini in Firebase, usage metrics dashboard, and Gemini Cloud Assist (Application Design Center, Investigations). It is available in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Cloud Shell Editor, Cloud Workstations, and Android Studio. Enterprise costs $54/user/month (monthly) or $45/user/month (annual commitment). It adds Code Customization (index private GitHub/GitLab repos for tailored suggestions), Gemini in BigQuery, Gemini in Apigee, Application Integration, and premium support. Both plans include enterprise security with VPC Service Controls, Private Google Access, granular IAM, and Google's data governance policy (no model training on customer data). SOC 1/2/3, ISO 27001/27017/27018/27701 certified, with IP indemnification. Note: The free individual tier (Gemini Code Assist for individuals, Google AI Pro, Google AI Ultra) was discontinued on June 18, 2026. Individual users are directed to migrate to Antigravity and Antigravity CLI.
FreemiumCodeium launched with a genuinely free tier for individual developers — unlimited code completions, chat, and search across 70+ languages and 40+ IDEs with no time limit or credit cap. Enterprise plans (custom pricing) added on-premises deployment, SOC 2 compliance, SSO, and zero code retention. After launching the Windsurf Editor in November 2024, the company introduced paid tiers: Free ($0) with unlimited Tab autocomplete and a light agent quota; Pro ($15/month, later raised to $20/month in March 2026) with full model access, standard refreshing agent quota, and Cascade; Teams ($30/user/month); and Enterprise ($60/user/month) with SSO, 1,000 prompt credits, and enhanced security. Following Cognition AI's acquisition and the June 2026 rebrand to Devin Desktop, pricing is now managed under Cognition's Devin plan structure: Free ($0), Pro ($20/month), Max ($200/month), Teams ($80/month + $40/seat), and Enterprise (custom). The codeium.com/pricing URL now redirects to devin.ai/pricing.

Gemini Code Assist

Gemini Code Assist Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Backed by Google's Gemini 3 model — the most capable model in the ecosystem with 1M token context window
  • Deepest GCP ecosystem integration of any AI coding tool — Firebase, BigQuery, Apigee, Cloud Shell, Cloud Workstations, and Android Studio all included
  • Enterprise certifications: SOC 1/2/3, ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, and 27701 — the most certified AI coding assistant
  • Data governance policy guarantees no customer code used to train shared models and no use to develop Google products
  • IP indemnification policy protects licensed users from copyright infringement concerns on generated code
  • Used by Dun & Bradstreet, Renault Group, Wayfair, Wipro, Delivery Hero, Sumitomo, and major Fortune 500 enterprises

Cons

  • Individual free tier (Gemini Code Assist for individuals) discontinued June 18, 2026 — migrated to Antigravity platform
  • Standard at $22.80/month or $19/month (annual) is more expensive than GitHub Copilot ($10/month) for the same core functionality
  • Enterprise at $54/month (or $45 annual) is the highest-priced major AI coding assistant in the market
  • Best value only for teams already invested in Google Cloud — GCP-specific features have less value for AWS or Azure shops
