JetBrains IDEs
6.5/10JetBrains AI adds code completion, chat, and coding agents such as Junie to JetBrains IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm, with credit-based individual, team, and enterprise plans.
Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
JetBrains IDEs, including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm and others, now come with a subscription AI layer called JetBrains AI. It provides unlimited local-model code completion, an AI chat, and agents. The agents are JetBrains' own Junie, plus Claude Agent, Codex and others connected through the Agent Client Protocol. The newer JetBrains Air experience lets developers run several agent sessions in parallel, review agent diffs with IDE tools, and automate repeat tasks such as code review and release notes. The product suits developers already working in JetBrains IDEs, especially Java and Kotlin teams, because the AI uses the IDE's static analysis for refactors and symbol search. Pricing is separate from the IDE license. AI Free gives 3 cloud credits per 30 days. For individuals, AI Pro is 10 USD a month (100 USD a year) with 10 credits, and AI Ultimate is 30 USD a month (300 USD a year) with 35 credits. For organizations, AI Pro is 20 USD per user with 20 credits and AI Ultimate is 60 USD per user with 70 credits. Extra credits cost 1 USD each and stay valid for 12 months. Users can also bring their own provider API keys. AI Enterprise, part of JetBrains IDE Services, adds on-premises and air-gapped deployment with OpenAI-compatible or self-hosted models. Its main limitation is credit consumption: agent sessions can drain monthly allowances in days, and since the 2025 quota change this has drawn many public complaints.
Our Rating
Who JetBrains IDEs is best for
Best software for DevelopersGood fit
It is built into the IDEs developers already use, with agents and completion that are aware of the codebase.
AI Enterprise offers on-prem and air-gapped deployment and a choice of LLM providers through IDE Services.
Less suited
The individual plans are cheap, but heavy agent use quickly needs top-ups.
It works well for teams on JetBrains tools, though organization pricing is double the individual rate.
Pros & Cons
Pros

Cons
