| Pricing | Not published · free tier: Free trial of the Models Add-On allowing 50 chat requests and 2,000 autocomplete requests | USD $20/month (Pro) · free tier: $0 — light agent quota, limited model availability, unlimited inline edits, unlimited Tab completions, 1 member, up to 10 concurrent sessions |
| Pricing model | Subscription (tiers named, no figures published; billing now disabled) | Subscription with usage quotas and API-priced overage |
| Best for | Only an engineering organisation with the capacity to fork and maintain an Apache 2.0 codebase in-house; there is no viable commercial purchase. | Individual developers and VS Code-native small teams who want a full agentic IDE with multi-provider model access at $20/month, and heavy autocomplete users who benefit from unlimited free Tab. |
| Avoid if | You need a supported AI coding assistant in 2026 — there is no vendor support, no maintenance and no billing relationship. | You need naming and roadmap stability for a long procurement cycle, do very large-context work, require a trial before committing, or need a published Enterprise price and predictable per-seat Teams cost. |
| Markets | Individual developers, SMB, Enterprise, Regulated and privacy-sensitive organisations | SMB, Mid-Market, Enterprise, Individual developers |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
