Who it's for
Tabnine is a strong fit for regulated enterprises (finance, healthcare, defense, government contractors) that need on-premises or air-gapped AI coding assistance with contractual guarantees around code privacy and IP protection.
Who it's not for
Solo developers, hobbyists, and small startups should look elsewhere, since Tabnine dropped its free and low-cost individual tiers and now requires a minimum $39/seat/month annual commitment.
