- Covers VS Code, JetBrains, Eclipse and Visual Studio rather than a single editor.
- Lets teams choose between Tabnine's own models and several third-party models.

## Tabnine limitations

- Public pricing could not be verified because tabnine.com now redirects to Tricentis.
- Enterprise accounts are set up with the Tabnine team, so there is no clear self-serve path.
- The legacy VS Code extension (about 9.6M installs) carries a notice that Tabnine does not onboard new users to it.
- The CLI is in maintenance mode and will be fully deprecated after December 31, 2026.
- The Tricentis acquisition makes the product's long-term standalone roadmap uncertain.
