In practice
Your code can't leave your network, so most AI coding tools are off the table. Tabnine offers on-prem and air-gapped deployment, keeping the assistant inside your perimeter.
Generic suggestions don't match how your codebase actually works. Tabnine trains private-repo models, so completions reflect your own code, not just public patterns.
Security won't approve a coding tool that phones home. Tabnine runs air-gapped, so developers get AI help without code leaving the building.

Recent platform changes
Tabnine added a new logging feature that records comprehensive details of AI-generated code accepted through its Agent and CLI. This logging data can be exported as a CSV file and requires an administrator to request activation from support.
Bears on: Observability / auditability
View sourceTabnine was acquired by Tricentis, an enterprise software testing and quality engineering company. The acquisition integrates Tabnine's Enterprise Context Engine into the Tricentis Agentic Quality Engineering Platform.
Bears on: Security / enterprise
View sourceTabnine released version 6.4.4 of its private installation, introducing strict server-side model enforcement. This feature blocks disabled models from inference regardless of any client-side reload behavior. Additionally, the update unifies the default Tabnine model context limit at 200,000 tokens, an increase from the previous 180,000 limit.
Bears on: Security / enterprise
View sourcePricing
From $39/user/mo
seats
Included quota
Code Assistant (entry, $39/user/mo): unlimited code completions and IDE chat using leading LLMs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, Mistral), grounded in your codebase, with zero code retention.
What is public
Tabnine pivoted to enterprise-only in 2025–26, retiring its free and low-cost individual/Dev tiers. Current published tiers (annual billing only, no monthly, no individual license): Code Assistant $39/user/mo and Agentic Platform $59/user/mo. A separate Enterprise Context Engine is priced on quote. Purchase routes through 'Get a quote' / sales.
Billing mechanics
Per-seat annual subscription, sold to teams (no individual or monthly plan). Code Assistant covers completions + IDE chat; the Agentic Platform tier adds autonomous agents, MCP tools, CLI, and unlimited codebase connections. Self-hosted/air-gapped Enterprise deployments add GPU infrastructure cost (~$500–$2,000+/mo) on top of per-seat fees; using your own on-prem LLM endpoint is unlimited usage.
Cost watchouts
Annual billing only (no monthly), no free/individual tier, self-hosted GPU costs ($500–$2,000+/mo) for air-gapped deployment, Context Engine priced separately, quote-gated purchase
Variable cost rationale
Flat per-seat with no usage metering keeps software spend predictable; variability comes from self-hosted GPU infrastructure, not consumption
Additional watchouts
No free or solo plan anymore — it's a team/enterprise purchase, annual-only; completion quality reportedly trails Copilot/Cursor; the value is privacy/compliance/air-gap, not raw capability
Overage / add-ons
No per-use overage — flat per-seat; cost scales by seats, tier (Agentic $59), and self-hosting infrastructure. Own-LLM/on-prem usage is unlimited.
Sales call required
Yes, required for paid access
Lowest paid plan
Paid ~$9–$39/user (LOCK)
Commercial notes
Enterprise-only after the 2025–26 pivot; four deployment modes (SaaS, VPC, on-prem, air-gapped); SOC 2 Type II / ISO 27001 / GDPR / HIPAA-eligible; models trained only on permissive-licensed code with Code Provenance; Tabnine CLI (Jan 2026); list price often negotiated toward Copilot/Cursor for 50+ seats
Key ambiguities
Published seat prices ($39/$59) are list, but purchase is quote-gated; the Context Engine and self-hosted licensing aren't publicly priced; some third-party listings still show retired cheap tiers
Cancellation / refund
Annual commitment only; no monthly option; enterprise contract terms negotiated; refund/exit terms deal-specific
Support SLA / resale
Enterprise support, admin suite (analytics, model provisioning, context permissions, SSO), priority ticket support and training; IP indemnification on enterprise
Missing data
The Enterprise Context Engine and self-hosted licensing pricing aren't published; purchase is quote-gated. Note: the seed's '$9–$39/user' range is stale — the free/Dev tiers were retired and the floor is now $39 (Code Assistant).
