Tabnine cost: what you actually pay
Tabnine has dropped its cheap/free individual tiers — today's public price is $39 or $59/user/month billed annually via a sales quote (not self-serve checkout), and unless you bring your own LLM, Tabnine-hosted model usage is billed on top at provider price plus a 5% handling fee.
Public pricing
| Plan | Price | Billing | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Code Assistant Platform | $39 / user/moBilled annually; site CTA is 'Get a quote', not self-serve checkout | annual | Code completions + IDE chat, Jira integration, all major IDEs, flexible deployment (SaaS/VPC/on-prem/air-gapped), zero code retention |
| Agentic Platform | $59 / user/moBilled annually; site CTA is 'Get a quote' | annual | Everything in Code Assistant plus autonomous agents, Tabnine CLI, unlimited Context Engine repo connections (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket/Perforce), MCP tool integration, optional Headless Agents add-on for CI/CD |
No free tier is shown on Tabnine's current official pricing page. Both plans state 'unlimited usage when using your own LLM' (on-prem or your own cloud endpoint), but if you use Tabnine-provided model access instead, you pay metered token costs at the underlying provider's price plus a 5% handling fee — on top of the per-seat license. Tabnine's legacy individual 'Dev' plan (docs.tabnine.com) is closed to new signups as of client version 5.24.0, so older reviews citing a cheap standalone individual tier are outdated.

Where the real Tabnine cost hides
The sticker is the smallest part of the story. For Tabnine, these are the line items that quietly inflate the bill:
- Neither plan has a published self-serve monthly price or checkout — both require a sales quote, making true cost opaque until negotiated
- Using Tabnine's own hosted LLMs (rather than BYOK/on-prem) adds metered token costs (provider price + 5%) on top of the $39-59/seat license
- Legacy free and low-cost individual ('Dev') plans are sunset — budgets or reviews referencing 'Tabnine has a free plan' are stale
What an audit finds on Tabnine
Procurement benchmarks Tabnine against its old reputation for a free/cheap individual tier, then discovers the current published price is an annually-billed $39-59/seat enterprise quote — and if the team doesn't configure BYOK/on-prem model routing, per-token LLM charges stack on top of that seat fee.
Tabnine pricing FAQ
Does Tabnine have a free plan?
Not on its current official pricing page — the two listed plans are $39/user/month (Code Assistant) and $59/user/month (Agentic), both billed annually. Its older 'Dev' individual plan is closed to new signups.
Is the $39 or $59 price all I pay?
Only if you bring your own LLM (on-prem or your own endpoint). If you use Tabnine-hosted models, you also pay metered token costs at the provider's rate plus a 5% handling fee.
Can I buy Tabnine online with a credit card?
The official pricing page's call-to-action is 'Get a quote' / 'Contact us' for both current plans, not a self-serve checkout.
