Tabby

Who it is for

For developers and small teams. It runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, the web, and a computer you control. License: Apache-2.0, except ee/. It is in the DevOps group.

What you pay

Free plan: The compare table lists Community at $0 a user a month, up to 5 users, with local deployment, code completion, Answer Engine, in-line chat, and context providers. A sixth user is past the Community cap on that table. Team is $19 a user a month, up to 50 users. Hosted price: Community $0 a user a month, up to 5 users. Team $19 a user a month, up to 50. Enterprise is custom. The same page shows Basic at $180 a year and Business at $280 a year without saying they are per user. A later section bills Pochi by token cost and says tab completion on that cloud line stays free. Checked November 10, 2026. Run it yourself: Setup: medium. The README's Docker example uses --gpus all, publishes port 8080, and names a completion model and a chat model. The welcome page also points at Homebrew. This listing did not run the container.

How to switch

• Compared with Sourcegraph Cody. Its price on file: The pricing page does not print a Cody price. The Enterprise plan Cody's docs say it runs on starts at $16K a year. Cody ends on January 31, 2027.

  What you give up: a saved prompt you can run again, keep a chosen repository out of chat and autocomplete, and a command-line client.
