What JetBrains does

JetBrains is a privately held software development tools company founded in 2000. Originally established in the Czech Republic, the company is now headquartered in Amsterdam and operates 15 offices worldwide with more than 2,800 employees. It remains founder-led, with Kirill Skrygan as CEO and co-founders Valentin Kipiatkov and Sergey Dmitriev still active. JetBrains serves individual developers, engineering teams, and enterprise software organizations through a portfolio of integrated development environments (IDEs), build and CI tools, the Kotlin programming language, and an expanding suite of AI-powered coding products. The company reports tens of millions of users across its tools and is a foundational supplier to the professional Java, Kotlin, Python, and polyglot developer segments.

JetBrains' core product portfolio includes the IntelliJ Platform-based IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, Rider, RustRover), the TeamCity build server and CI tool, and the Kotlin language, which is co-developed with Google and serves as the primary language for Android development. The company has expanded aggressively into AI-driven developer tooling, fielding the JetBrains AI Assistant, Junie and Junie CLI (agentic coding), JetBrains Air, and JetBrains Central (an AI orchestration layer that coordinates agents and model routing across the portfolio). It has also trained and open-sourced Mellum2, a proprietary ~12-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts code model, and joined the Linux Foundation's DPAI Arena initiative.

JetBrains operates a subscription-based business model with tiered pricing for individuals, organizations, and enterprises, complemented by free community editions that serve as top-of-funnel for paid conversion. The company distributes through direct online sales, a 130+ reseller network in the MENA region, and strategic partnerships with hyperscalers, AI labs (Google Cloud, Anthropic, OpenAI, Huawei), and complementary vendors (Cursor, Zed Industries, Wiz, DMCC, Ignyte). During 2024–2025 the company has also rationalized its portfolio, discontinuing Fleet, DataSpell, and Code With Me to concentrate engineering on the core IDE base and AI initiatives.

Core offering

JetBrains develops and sells professional software development tools, including a family of integrated development environments (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, Rider, RustRover), AI-powered coding assistants (Junie and JetBrains AI Assistant), the Kotlin programming language, the TeamCity continuous integration product, and the enterprise JetBrains Central agentic AI platform. The company's offerings are sold primarily through per-seat subscriptions to individual developers, teams, and enterprises, with tool-specific and AI-tier pricing structures.

Product overview

JetBrains provides a comprehensive suite of integrated development environments (IDEs) and developer tools built around its core IDE portfolio including IntelliJ IDEA (Java/Kotlin), PyCharm (Python), WebStorm (JavaScript/TypeScript), Rider (.NET), and RustRover (Rust). The company has expanded into AI-powered development with JetBrains AI Assistant, the Junie coding agent (available as IDE plugin and standalone Junie CLI), and JetBrains Air (agentic development environment built on Fleet). JetBrains Central serves as a platform for orchestrating AI agents and managing enterprise AI adoption. The company open-sourced Mellum2, a 12B parameter Mixture-of-Experts model optimized for code generation and agentic workflows. JetBrains offers over 30 development tools including TeamCity (CI/CD), YouTrack (issue tracking), and the Kotlin programming language. Fleet IDE has been discontinued with its innovations being integrated into Air. DataSpell was deprecated in favor of PyCharm Pro, and Code With Me collaborative coding is being retired. The company operates on a software subscription model with products ranging from free community editions to enterprise subscriptions with AI capabilities.

Direct peers

• Tabnine: Tabnine is an AI code completion provider focused on enterprise privacy and on-prem deployment, directly competing with JetBrains AI Assistant and Mellum2's accountability-focused positioning for regulated customers.
• Sourcegraph: Sourcegraph provides AI coding assistants (Cody) and code intelligence across large enterprise codebases. It directly overlaps with JetBrains' enterprise AI Assistant and Central positioning, particularly for governance and multi-repo understanding.
• GitHub (Microsoft): GitHub Copilot is the most-recognized AI coding assistant and the primary competitor to JetBrains AI Assistant. GitHub also owns a competing code-review and repository platform, making it the closest direct peer across JetBrains' IDE, AI, and collaboration product lines.
• Cursor (Anysphere): Cursor is an AI-native IDE forked from VS Code that has rapidly captured developer mindshare with deep agent integrations. It directly competes with JetBrains' AI-integrated IDEs and JetBrains Central at the agentic coding layer.

Emerging players

• Replit: Replit provides an AI-integrated cloud development environment with autonomous coding agents. It overlaps with JetBrains Air and JetBrains Central in targeting developers and teams that want AI-first, cloud-based agentic development workflows.
• Zed Industries: Zed is a high-performance AI-native code editor and a co-developer with JetBrains on the Agent Client Protocol. It is an emerging player that competes with JetBrains' IDEs while also being a strategic interoperability partner.
• Codeium (Windsurf): Codeium (Windsurf) offers a free AI code completion and an AI-native IDE, directly competing with JetBrains' AI Assistant and IDE products. It is particularly strong in the individual developer and SMB segment.

Broad incumbents

• Google (Gemini Code Assist / Android Studio): Google's Gemini Code Assist competes with JetBrains AI Assistant and holds HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II certifications that JetBrains currently lacks. Google is also a JetBrains partner (Cloud, Android), making it both a competitor and collaborator.
• Amazon Web Services (Q Developer / CodeWhisperer): Amazon Q Developer (formerly CodeWhisperer) is an AI coding assistant bundled into the AWS ecosystem, directly competing with JetBrains AI Assistant for cloud-aligned enterprise customers. As a hyperscaler, AWS is also a broad incumbent in developer infrastructure.
• Microsoft (Visual Studio / VS Code): Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio are the dominant cross-language IDEs that JetBrains' IntelliJ, PyCharm, and Rider compete against. Microsoft's broader developer cloud and Copilot integration make it the incumbent JetBrains is measured against for individual developers and enterprises.
