JetBrains AI review

JetBrains AI is the natural choice for teams that live in IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm or another JetBrains IDE. Every plan, including AI Free, includes unlimited AI completion inside the IDE, and AI Free adds 3 monthly AI credits for chat and agent work, though it is only available on commercial IDE versions. AI Pro raises that to 10 monthly credits and AI Ultimate to 35, and both give access to Junie, Claude Agent, Codex and Gemini as agents. Through the Agent Client Protocol you can also connect more than 25 outside agents, including Cursor, Codex and GitHub Copilot, or bring your own API keys from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google. Credits can be topped up at API rates and stay valid for 12 months. AI Pro has a 30-day free trial. We could not verify a USD price because the page showed euros from our location, so the price is marked pending.

Who it is for

Developers who already work in IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm or another JetBrains IDE and want AI that is native to it.
