JetBrains Junie
Junie is a coding agent integrated into JetBrains IDEs, terminals and CI that can call multiple language models (including local models), supports configurable agent modes and project-level guidelines, and can connect to MCP servers for tool integrations while offering free starter access plus paid AI-credit subscriptions.
The linked official pages document a Free tier and two paid JetBrains AI subscriptions with recurring per-user monthly prices: $8.33 per user per month (AI Pro) and $25.00 per user per month (AI Ultimate). The site also notes AI usage is billed separately and some pricing context mentions annual and monthly purchase options.Is JetBrains Junie right for you?
