Pricing
CustomTabnine no longer offers a public free tier and is sold as two annual-subscription plans. The Code Assistant Platform costs $39 per user per month and includes AI code completions, in-IDE chat across leading LLMs, Atlassian Jira integration, flexible deployment (SaaS, VPC, on-prem, or air-gapped), zero code retention, SSO, and enterprise compliance (GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001). The Agentic Platform costs $59 per user per month and includes everything in the Code Assistant Platform plus autonomous coding agents, the Tabnine CLI, and the Enterprise Context Engine with unlimited codebase connections to Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab, and Perforce. Usage is unlimited when customers bring their own on-prem or cloud LLM endpoint; using Tabnine-provided LLM access requires a reserved token consumption quota billed at the underlying LLM provider's price plus a 5% handling fee. A Headless Agents add-on for CI/CD use is priced separately. Exact quotes require contacting Tabnine sales, as pricing is not self-serve.
