Continue

Continue.dev is the open-source AI coding platform that lets developers build, customize, and share AI coding agents across their team. Originally launched as an open-source IDE assistant for VS Code and JetBrains, Continue has evolved into a full agent management platform — with a hosted product that handles credits, integrations, and team-wide agent governance, while keeping the underlying IDE extensions free and open source on GitHub. Pricing is tiered with usage-based and seat-based components: Starter at $3 per million tokens (input and output, pay-as-you-go) lets individual developers create and run agents, connect integrations like Slack, Sentry, and Snyk, and buy credits for frontier models — accessible without commitment. Team at $20/seat/month includes $10 in credits per seat plus everything in Starter, with the ability to manage and share private agents across the team, control which agents team members can use, and add Gmail/GitHub SSO. Company tier is custom-priced for enterprises needing SAML/OIDC SSO, BYOK API key management, contractual commitments, and SLA support. Continue's differentiation versus Cursor, Copilot, and Tabnine is the agent-builder positioning: rather than just providing a single AI assistant, Continue treats agents as composable building blocks that developers can configure with specific models, tools, and integrations. Teams can build custom agents (e.g., "code reviewer," "test writer," "incident triager") and share them across the org through Continue Hub, with version control and centralized governance. The platform supports Claude, OpenAI GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, local models via Ollama, and 50+ other LLMs. IDE extensions are open-source on GitHub (continuedev/continue, with 25K+ stars) and free for individual use. Continue raised $20M+ from venture investors including Heavybit and Andreessen Horowitz. The hosted platform operates under SOC 2 Type II compliance.
