Tabby alternatives in detail

  1. Cody

    enterpriseExtension

    Cody is Sourcegraph's AI coding assistant for the IDE, grounded in codebase-wide context: it uses Sourcegraph's Search API to fetch relevant definitions, references, and files — across many repos on Enterprise — so answers and edits reference how your code actually works. Now Enterprise-only; the Free and Pro tiers were discontinued in 2025.

  2. 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.
