Tabnine cost in 2026 — and the seats nobody uses
Tabnine is an AI code assistant sold as paid platform seats: the Code Assistant Platform at $39 per user per month and the Agentic Platform at $59, both billed annually. There is no free tier anymore. Because the seat fee is committed per user for the term, over-tiered, idle, and forgotten seats keep billing — DevSpend reconciles assigned seats against activity to surface them.

Tabnine plans and per-seat prices
VENDOR| Plan | Price / seat / month | Best for | Usage notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Code Assistant Platform | $39Billed annually at the published per-user price. | Teams and enterprises | AI code completions and in-IDE chat grounded in your codebase, with privacy/compliance controls and flexible deployment. Your own LLM is unlimited; Tabnine-provided LLM access bills a reserved token quota at provider prices plus a 5% handling fee. |
| Agentic Platform | $59Billed annually at the published per-user price. | Teams and enterprises wanting agents | Everything in Code Assistant Platform plus autonomous agents, the Tabnine CLI, the Context Engine with unlimited codebase connections, and MCP integrations. Same LLM cost model; headless agents are a separate paid add-on. |
| Enterprise / private installation | Custom | Larger orgs needing private/self-hosted deployment | Custom-quoted for VPC, on-prem, or air-gapped deployment and volume seat counts. Private deployments typically bring their own LLM, so usage is unlimited with no handling fee. |
Where teams waste money on Tabnine
TELEMETRYFINANCE- The Agentic Platform ($59/user/mo) costs about 51% more than the Code Assistant Platform ($39). A developer provisioned on Agentic who only uses completions and IDE chat is paying ~$20/user/month for autonomous agents, the CLI, and the Context Engine they never invoke.
- Seats are billed annually at the published price, so a seat assigned to someone who goes quiet or leaves keeps billing for the committed term — there is no published month-to-month off-ramp to stop a stale seat mid-cycle.
- On top of the seat fee, Tabnine-provided LLM access adds a reserved token-consumption quota priced at the LLM provider’s rates plus a 5% handling fee. Quota provisioned larger than real consumption is paid-for capacity that is not refunded for non-use.
- The reserved token quota is a pooled commitment separate from seats, so heavy users mask light or idle ones — the org keeps topping up tokens while a chunk of assigned seats contribute little usage.
- Tabnine no longer offers a free tier and is moving everyone onto paid platform seats, so forgotten legacy individual subscriptions can keep charging alongside the org contract for the same engineers.
How to find unused Tabnine seats
VENDORTELEMETRY- In the Tabnine admin console, review the assigned platform seats and each seat’s plan (Code Assistant $39 vs Agentic $59).
- Move Agentic seats used only for completions and chat down to Code Assistant — that is ~$20/user/month back.
- Reconcile the reserved LLM token quota against actual consumption, and trim over-provisioned paid-for capacity.
- Remove seats for departed users and any forgotten legacy individual subscriptions billing alongside the org contract.

Active is your best estimate of seats in real use — the gap to assigned seats is your recoverable waste. Active can’t exceed seats, so it’s capped automatically.
Tabnine cost FAQ
How much does Tabnine cost per user per month?
Tabnine’s published list prices are $39 per user per month for the Code Assistant Platform and $59 per user per month for the Agentic Platform, both billed annually. Larger or private/self-hosted deployments are quoted by sales.
Is there a free version of Tabnine?
No. Tabnine no longer offers a free tier on its current pricing — the offering is paid platform seats, with a sales-gated trial available on request.
What is the difference between the $39 and $59 Tabnine plans?
The $39 Code Assistant Platform covers AI code completions and in-IDE chat grounded in your codebase. The $59 Agentic Platform adds autonomous agents, the Tabnine CLI, the Context Engine with unlimited codebase connections, and MCP integrations. Seats provisioned on Agentic but used only for completions and chat are over-tiered by $20/user/month.
Does Tabnine charge extra for LLM usage on top of the seat price?
It can. If you use your own LLM (on-prem or your own cloud endpoint) usage is unlimited with no extra charge. If you use Tabnine-provided LLM access, you pay for a reserved token-consumption quota priced at the actual LLM provider’s rates plus a 5% handling fee — a pooled cost on top of the per-seat fee, so over-provisioned quota or idle seats waste money.
