Licensing and subscriptions
The AI Assistant plugin is powered by the JetBrains AI Service. This service transparently connects you, as a product user, to different large language models (LLMs) and enables specific AI-powered features within many JetBrains products.
AI Assistant license tiers
AI Assistant offers a variety of license tiers: AI Free[1], AI Pro, AI Ultimate[1], and AI Enterprise[2]. All tiers, except for AI Enterprise, provide access to the same set of AI features:
Unlimited code completion
AI chat with codebase context
AI features: edit multiple files, generate tests, refactor code, and more
Junie, the coding agent[3]
The only difference is the size of the quota for cloud-based and Junie features – higher tiers offer a greater quota, providing more resources for using these features.
Once the quota for the current period is exhausted, you have the following options:
Wait for the next 30-day cycle when the quota resets.
Upgrade to a higher tier to renew the quota.
Switch to offline mode and use local models instead of cloud-based ones.
(AI Ultimate) Contact support to request a quota increase.
