Editors' review
AI completion for 70+ IDEs — free for individuals
Codeium supports more than 70 IDEs including VS Code, JetBrains, Vim, Emacs and Sublime Text, and individuals can use it for free. That reach is the differentiator.
Pro at $15/mo unlocks premium models and priority processing. Business plans are SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified with air-gapped deployment available, which puts it in enterprise territory.
Coordinated multi-file editing is weaker than Cursor's Composer; the company positions Windsurf, its own IDE, as the answer for that.
Verdict
The default for anyone who wants to try AI completion for free, and for organisations with a wide spread of IDEs. For the AI-native experience, look at Windsurf.
