Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — Codeium is permanently free for individual developers with no usage limits. The free plan includes unlimited code completions, the chat assistant and codebase search. There's no catch — Codeium monetises through Teams and Enterprise plans for businesses.
Codeium is free vs Copilot's $10/month for individuals. Both offer similar inline completion quality. Copilot has slightly better integration with GitHub workflows and pull request features. For pure code completion, Codeium is competitive and the free price makes it the default choice for individual developers.
Codeium supports 40+ editors including VS Code, all JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm etc.), Vim, Neovim, Emacs, Sublime Text, Eclipse and more. Setup takes under 5 minutes in any supported editor.
Codeium requires an internet connection as completions are generated server-side. For offline or air-gapped environments, Codeium offers an on-premise Enterprise deployment option.
