Free tierHas API
JetBrains IDEs provide the deepest code intelligence available for their target languages. The refactoring tools alone justify the cost for professional developers. VS Code is good enough for most, but JetBrains is better for developers who live in a single language ecosystem and demand the best tooling.
What's great
- Deepest language-specific code intelligence and refactoring
- Built-in database, HTTP, and profiling tools
- All Products subscription covers every language
Watch out for
- Premium pricing vs free VS Code
- Can feel heavy and slow compared to lightweight editors
- JetBrains AI Assistant lags behind Copilot and Cursor
