Key findings
- Tricentis announced the acquisition on July 30, 2026 and plans to build Tabnine's Enterprise Context Engine into the Tricentis Agentic Quality Engineering Platform.
- The last list prices Tabnine published were US$39 per user per month for the Code Assistant Platform and US$59 for the Agentic Platform, on annual subscriptions. The Internet Archive captured the pricing page on September 18, 2026.
- By October 12, 2026, tabnine.com/pricing redirected to a Tricentis contact form, and the legacy VS Code and JetBrains plugins no longer onboarded new users.
- Tabnine shipped enterprise release 6.6.0 on September 15, 2026 and 6.6.9 on October 8.
- The original Tabnine CLI gets critical fixes only until December 31, 2026. Its successor is a Tabnine distribution of OpenCode.
Buy Tabnine in 2026 on a contract that fixes price, packaging and roadmap commitments, because Tricentis now controls all three. Within months Tabnine closed its self-serve plans, retired its own Protected chat model, moved its CLI to OpenCode, and was sold to Tricentis, a quality engineering company. The product still ships regular releases.
The acquisition
Tricentis, a test automation vendor, announced the acquisition on July 30, 2026. It plans to use Tabnine's Enterprise Context Engine in its testing agents. The engine builds a knowledge graph from repositories, documentation, tickets, and APIs.
The release repeats Tabnine's deployment options of on-premises, private VPC, or fully air-gapped installs. It says Context Engine users saw up to twice the AI accuracy, up to 80% fewer tokens, and up to 50% faster resolution of complex tasks. Tricentis gives no customer count or method for those figures, so ask for both before you plan savings around them.
Self-serve plans closed
Tabnine has ended its individual plans. The legacy VS Code and JetBrains listings turn away new users and send buyers to Enterprise. The Tabnine for Enterprise VS Code listing requires an enterprise customer account and a dedicated server.
Developers recorded the change in public. A January 2026 GitHub issue reports a Dev subscription stopped without a refund. A May 2026 JetBrains review says Tabnine closed all Pro and Dev subscriptions after June 28, 2026.

VS Code Marketplace install counts read Oct 12, 2026. The counts are cumulative since launch, so they overstate active users.
Models and the CLI
Version 6.2.0 retired Tabnine Protected chat on May 12, 2026, along with older Gemma and Qwen models. Tabnine had trained Protected only on permissively licensed code. Completions still use the Universal model. Chat and agents use the Claude, GPT, Gemini, and open-weight models an administrator approves.
Tabnine stopped active development of the original CLI at version 6.6, and its critical fixes end December 31, 2026. The successor installs a managed OpenCode distribution with Tabnine sign-in and models. It also ships Tabnine MCP servers and enforces organization policies.
What to settle in the contract
Price, packaging and the standalone roadmap now sit with Tricentis, and Tabnine's documentation covers none of them. Open the price talk from the list prices Tabnine published until September 2026, US$39 per user per month for the Code Assistant Platform and US$59 for the Agentic Platform. Then get these terms in writing.
- A price per seat and per usage tier for the full term, and how the Business and Enterprise tiers named in the docs differ.
- Support and update commitments for private and air-gapped installations through the term.
- Which models stay available on your deployment after the 6.2.0 retirements.
- Access to Provenance and Attribution, which Tabnine enables on request for any Enterprise customer while it is a private release, and to Coaching Guidelines, in closed beta.
- Data handling terms if Tricentis connects Tabnine services to its own systems.
Methodology
GILD read Tricentis's acquisition release, Tabnine's documentation and release notes, and Tabnine's marketplace listings on October 12, 2026, and checked where tabnine.com redirected that day. On October 25, 2026, GILD read Tabnine's pricing page as the Internet Archive captured it on September 18, 2026, the last capture that still listed prices. Developer accounts of the plan changes come from the GitHub issues and JetBrains reviews behind GILD's Tabnine record. Install counts are the VS Code Marketplace's own.
