Tabnine
Overview
Tabnine is a privacy- and compliance-focused AI coding platform. It supports on-premises, VPC, and fully air-gapped deployment — designed for enterprises and regulated industries that can't send code externally. Integrates with 15+ IDEs including VS Code, JetBrains, and Neovim.
On July 30, 2026, test-automation vendor Tricentis announced its acquisition of Tabnine. Tabnine's knowledge graph — the Enterprise Context Engine — is slated to be folded into Tricentis's Agentic Quality Engineering platform.
Key Features
Privacy-First Design
- On-premises deployment
- VPC deployment in isolated environments
- Air-gapped support
- Zero data retention
- GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 compliance, with SSO and governance over permissions and usage analytics
Enterprise Context Engine
Builds a continuously updated knowledge graph of the organization's systems from repositories, documentation, tickets, APIs, and infrastructure metadata, so agents can reason about dependencies, architectural standards, and the blast radius of a change. It can feed that context to third-party agents such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Code rather than locking teams into Tabnine alone.
Agentic Platform
Agent capabilities ship as the Agentic Platform, with Tabnine Agent running in VS Code, Visual Studio 2022/2026, and JetBrains IDEs. Headless Agents for CI/CD pipelines are available as an add-on.
Broad IDE Support
15+ IDEs: VS Code, JetBrains, Eclipse, Neovim, Sublime Text, Vim, Emacs.
Pricing
The free tier and the cheap individual plans are gone; only two annually billed enterprise plans remain, evaluated through a 14-day trial.
| Plan | Monthly (annual billing) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Code Assistant | $39/user | Completions and chat grounded in your codebase, all major IDEs |
| Agentic Platform | $59/user | Everything above plus agentic workflows and the Context Engine |
| Enterprise | Contact | On-prem / VPC / air-gapped, custom quote |
Typical Uses
- AI coding in regulated industries such as finance and healthcare
- Organizations that cannot send confidential code to external clouds
