Overview

Tabnine is an enterprise AI coding assistant and agent that can run as SaaS, in a VPC, on premises or fully air-gapped, with no storage of or training on customer code. Tricentis acquired it in July 2026 and tabnine.com now redirects to Tricentis, so plans are quoted through Tricentis sales. The last published prices were $39 and $59 per user per month on annual subscriptions.

RECATOOLS Verdict

Tabnine's case is deployment control: air-gapped, VPC or on-premises installation, no retention of customer code, models trained on permissively licensed code, and a Context Engine that grounds agents in an organisation's repositories and tickets. The product is still shipping, with an OpenCode-based CLI released to all customers in September 2026.

The catch is ownership. Tricentis bought Tabnine for its Context Engine and now routes the website and pricing to its own sales team, so long-term plans for the coding assistant are not public. Worth shortlisting for regulated teams that need self-hosting; ask Tricentis for a written roadmap before signing a multi-year deal.

Desk research by RECATOOLS from public sources, written with AI assistance — not a hands-on test. How we review

What we found

Tabnine is one of the oldest AI coding assistants, and in 2026 it stopped being a standalone company. On 30 July 2026 Tricentis, the Austin-based software-testing group, announced that it had acquired Tabnine in order to build Tabnine's Enterprise Context Engine into the Tricentis Agentic Quality Engineering Platform. Terms were not disclosed. Calcalist estimated the deal at tens of millions of dollars, and Shibolet, the law firm that acted for Tabnine, describes the consideration as tens of millions of US dollars paid in Tricentis shares and retention arrangements. Calcalist also reports that Tabnine had raised $55 million and cut 15 of its 80 staff the year before.

The public website has since been folded away. By late September 2026 tabnine.com, its pricing page and its blog all redirected to tricentis.com, with pricing landing on a Tricentis contact form. The last pricing page captured before that, on 18 September 2026, listed two plans on annual subscriptions: the Code Assistant Platform at $39 per user per month, with completions, IDE chat over models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta and Mistral, and Jira integration; and the Agentic Platform at $59, adding autonomous agents, the Tabnine CLI, MCP tools and the Context Engine. Using Tabnine-hosted models costs extra, at the provider's price plus a 5% handling fee. No free or individual plan was listed.

The product is still shipping. The documentation remains live, and the private-installation release notes run to version 6.6.9 on 8 October 2026: 6.6.0 made an OpenCode-based Tabnine CLI available to all customers, and 6.6.9 let it read Jira issues. Calcalist reports that existing customers will keep receiving support.

The selling point is unchanged: SaaS, VPC, on-premises or fully air-gapped deployment, no storage of or training on customer code, and models trained only on permissively licensed open-source code. For ASEAN banks and public-sector teams with strict data-residency rules it remains credible, but buying now means a conversation with Tricentis sales, and the roadmap belongs to a testing company.

Notable facts

  • Tabnine was originally called Codota before rebranding in 2020, and was one of the first AI tools to complete entire function bodies rather than just single lines.
  • Tabnine's self-hosted Enterprise model runs the full AI inference on-premises — code never leaves your servers, not even for model updates.
  • The tool was trained on permissively licensed code only, meaning it avoids training on GPL-licensed repositories that could create licence compliance issues.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, there is a free basic tier. Pro features like longer completions cost $12/month; Enterprise with self-hosting has custom pricing.
The free and Pro tiers use cloud inference. Enterprise can deploy entirely on-premises with no external data transfer.
Tabnine's key differentiator is its self-hosted enterprise option and privacy focus. Copilot generally produces higher-quality completions but requires cloud connectivity.
Yes. Enterprise plans support fine-tuning on your private repositories to improve suggestion relevance for your specific codebase.
VS Code, all JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, Vim, Neovim, Emacs, Sublime Text, and others — over 15 IDEs in total.
