Pricing
FreemiumSupermaven operated a Freemium model during its active life (Feb 2024 – Nov 2025). The Free tier provided fast inline code completions with a 300,000-token context window, compatible with VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and Neovim — with no trial expiry. Pro was priced at $10/month (or $99/year), unlocking the 1 million token context window, access to Supermaven's largest Babble model, coding style adaptation, and $5/month in Supermaven Chat credits with a 30-day free trial. Team plans were also $10/user/month and added centralized billing and user management for companies. Supermaven was acquired by Cursor in November 2024. All paying subscribers were fully refunded in November 2025 when the standalone product was sunset. Free autocomplete inference was extended for existing Neovim and JetBrains users as a courtesy. The product is no longer available for new signups — Cursor is the recommended migration path.
PaidTabnine offers two enterprise plans on annual subscriptions. The Code Assistant Platform is $39/user/month and includes AI code completions, IDE chat (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Meta, Mistral), Jira integration, flexible deployment (SaaS/VPC/on-prem/air-gapped), zero code retention, SSO, IP indemnification, provenance tracking, centralized admin analytics, RBAC, and priority support. The Tabnine Agentic Platform is $59/user/month and adds the Enterprise Context Engine (unlimited connections to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Perforce P4, Jira, Confluence), autonomous agentic workflows, MCP tool integrations (Git, Jira, Confluence, Docker, package managers, CI/CD), the Tabnine CLI agent, and governance controls for MCP and per-user pricing thresholds. Headless CI/CD agents are an optional add-on. When using Tabnine-provided LLM access, token consumption is billed at actual LLM provider prices + 5% handling fee. Unlimited usage is included when using your own on-premises or self-managed cloud LLM endpoint. No self-serve trial; all plans require a sales demo.

Supermaven Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Fastest inline code completions of any tool at launch — sub-250ms latency beats Copilot by 3x
  • 1 million token context window gives it codebase-wide awareness without slow retrieval
  • Generous always-free tier with no expiry for solo developers
  • Founded by Tabnine creator — deep domain expertise in efficient code completion models
  • Lightweight extension model — no new IDE required, works inside existing editors
  • Coding style learning personalizes suggestions over time

Cons

  • Product sunset in November 2025 after Cursor acquisition — no longer available for new signups
  • No agentic or multi-file editing capabilities (completions and chat only)
  • Chat credits limited on Pro tier ($5/month) with overage charges
  • Extension API limitations in VS Code/JetBrains constrained more advanced features
  • 7-day code data retention limit on free tier raised some privacy concerns for teams
Tabnine

Tabnine Pros & Cons

Pros

  • The original AI coding assistant with 8+ years of enterprise production experience and the most mature platform in the category
  • Only AI coding tool offering fully air-gapped deployment with zero code retention — critical for defense, healthcare, finance, and government
  • IP indemnification with provenance and attribution — every suggestion is traceable to its training source for full license compliance
  • Enterprise Context Engine builds a live organizational knowledge graph enabling true system-level AI reasoning beyond document retrieval
  • Multi-LLM flexibility — choose Claude, GPT, Gemini, Meta, Mistral, or your own on-premises LLM with no vendor lock-in
  • Gartner Magic Quadrant Visionary 2025 and InfoWorld Technology of the Year 2025; trusted by Samsung, Ericsson, Raytheon, and GE Healthcare

Cons

  • Acquired by Tricentis on July 30, 2026 — product roadmap and pricing continuity depend on new ownership direction
  • No free individual tier as of 2026 — pricing starts at $39/user/month (Code Assistant) or $59/user/month (Agentic Platform) on annual contracts
  • Higher price point than GitHub Copilot ($19/user/month) and Cursor ($20/user/month) for teams that don't need enterprise-grade security or air-gapping
  • Enterprise Context Engine requires onboarding time to index and structure large codebases before reaching full accuracy
  • Smaller developer community mindshare than GitHub Copilot or Cursor — fewer third-party tutorials and integrations
