Pricing
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.
FreemiumQodo uses a credit-based pricing model at $0.012 per credit, pooled across the team with no rate limits. The Pro Team plan is available with credit packs: 2,500 credits (~18 reviews/month), 5,000 credits (~36 reviews/month), and 20,000 credits (~144 reviews/month). There is no annual commitment on the Pro Team plan and a 14-day free trial is available with no credit card required. Additional credits can be purchased anytime.
Enterprise pricing is custom and includes everything in Pro Team plus SSO/SAML, audit logs, BYOK (bring your own LLM keys), single-tenant SaaS, on-premises/air-gapped deployment, advanced governance analytics, advanced self-learning rules, Gerrit support, custom agentic workflows, dedicated CSM, priority support SLAs, and MSA/DPA commercial agreements.
Open-source projects get free access to Qodo's hosted PR review. The open-source Qodo Merge (formerly PR-Agent) is freely self-hostable. There is no permanent free commercial tier for teams.

Govern code at the speed AI writes it — quality review for the agent era
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
Qodo Pros & Cons
Pros
- Only platform purpose-built for governing AI-generated code — designed from the ground up for the agent-first era of software development
- Self-learning rules system turns organizational knowledge into enforceable, machine-readable standards that every agent and developer follows
- Open-source PR-Agent foundation with 14,000+ GitHub stars — transparent, community-audited, and self-hostable
- Supports all four major Git platforms — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps, plus Gerrit (Enterprise)
- Recognized by Gartner as a Visionary in AI-Augmented Development in September 2025, and cited by NVIDIA and Anthropic
- Zero data retention by default — code is analyzed and discarded, never stored, logged, or used to train models
Cons
- Credit-based pricing can be unpredictable for heavy users — large PRs and complex codebases consume more credits per review
- No free permanent tier for teams — only a 14-day trial and free access for open-source projects
- Primarily focused on code review and quality governance — not a full IDE coding assistant or autocomplete replacement like Cursor or Copilot
- Enterprise features (SSO, BYOK, on-prem, advanced analytics) require a sales conversation for custom pricing
- Can generate noisy reviews on very large PRs if context tuning is not configured — rules system setup requires initial investment
