Pricing
We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.
How we rated it
What it is
Code completion with a focus on privacy and control: models can run on your own infrastructure, trained only on permissively licensed code.
Who it is for
Development teams where code cannot leave their environment, and companies concerned about the licensing of training data.
Where it is strongest
Code assistance in regulated or security-conscious environments, where the question is not whether it helps but whether it is allowed.
Where it falls short
Suggestion quality trails Copilot and Cursor, and that gap is the price of the constraints. Self-hosting needs real hardware. And it is more expensive than the mainstream alternatives.
Our verdict
Recommended where code cannot leave your infrastructure. If that is not a requirement, the alternatives are better and cheaper.
