About Tabnine
Tabnine is a privacy-first AI code assistant built for enterprises that can't send proprietary code to a public cloud. It pairs completions, chat, and agentic workflows with zero code retention and no training on your code, and it runs anywhere you need it, from SaaS to VPC to on-premises to a fully air-gapped install. A Context Engine grounds suggestions in your own codebase, and admins can switch the underlying model or connect a private endpoint. It suits regulated teams in finance, defense, and healthcare that put compliance and IP control first.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tabnine?
Tabnine is a privacy first AI coding assistant focused on teams and enterprises. It offers code completion, chat, and agentic features across many editors and languages, with an emphasis on data privacy, on premises or air gapped deployment options, and not training on your code without permission.
Is Tabnine free?
Tabnine no longer has a free tier. It discontinued its free Basic plan in 2025. The cheapest paid option is the Dev plan at roughly 12 dollars a month for individuals, with the team focused Code Assistant plan around 39 dollars and the Agentic plan around 59 dollars per user, plus quote based Enterprise pricing, as of 2026.
Who is Tabnine for?
Tabnine is aimed at organizations and teams with strict privacy, security, or compliance requirements. Its selling points are control over where your code goes, the option to run models on your own infrastructure, and personalization on your private repositories, which matters more to enterprises than to hobbyist solo developers.
What makes Tabnine different from GitHub Copilot?
The main difference is privacy and control. Tabnine emphasizes that it does not retain or train on your code without consent and supports private, on premises, and air gapped deployments. Copilot is cheaper and has a free tier, but Tabnine targets buyers who need provable data isolation and enterprise governance.
