Cody alternatives in detail

  1. Continue

    open sourceExtension

    Continue was acquired by Cursor, and as of September 2026 continue.dev is a farewell page rather than a product site. The Apache-2.0 codebase remains public: an extension for VS Code and JetBrains that supplied chat, tab autocomplete, inline edits, and agent modes while you brought your own model, hosted or local via Ollama.

  2. Github Copilot

    freemiumExtension

    GitHub Copilot is GitHub's AI coding assistant: inline completions as you type, Copilot Chat for questions, tests, and refactors, and an agent mode that plans and applies multi-file changes. It works in VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Neovim, and the GitHub web UI. Freemium: a Free plan, with paid tiers billed in GitHub AI Credits since June 2026.

  3. Tabnine

    paidExtension

    Tabnine is an AI coding assistant built around code privacy and governance: inline completions, in-editor chat, and agentic workflows that deploy as SaaS, in your VPC, on-premises, or air-gapped, with zero code retention. It offers LLMs from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, Mistral, and others, and is paid-only from $39/user/month as of September 2026.

  4. Amp

    freemiumAgent

    Amp is an agentic coding tool that spun out of Sourcegraph in December 2025: a CLI plus apps for the web, Mac, iPhone, and iPad that run frontier models to read, edit, and run commands across a repository. Subagents parallelize independent sub-tasks, the Oracle adds a second-opinion reasoning model, and threads can be shared with a workspace.

  5. Augment Code

    paidExtension

    Augment Code is an AI coding assistant built for large, real-world codebases. Its Context Engine indexes the whole repo so agents and chat reason over your actual architecture rather than a few open files. It runs in VS Code and JetBrains IDEs and as the Auggie CLI. Proprietary and paid, with no free plan as of September 2026.
