Limits, in the vendor’s words

AI Free: 3 credits/30 days per account

Unmetered completions per account

The credit window resets every 30 days from first use; AI Credits are not a guaranteed token count. Mellum completion is a separate unmetered free mode. An active eligible IDE licence is required, including educational, open-source, trial or supported non-commercial licences. IntelliJ without Ultimate, PyCharm without Pro and Android Studio are excluded. Only the optional AI Pro trial asks for a card. Serviceable territories exclude mainland China and other provider-restricted regions.

Where it is offered

Offered in the 202 countries and territories its list names, not in mainland China, Russia, Hong Kong, Iran, Belarus, Venezuela, Syria, Cuba and 20 more places (source, read 2026-09-26). That leaves out 10.6% of the developers GitHub counts, beyond the countries under comprehensive US embargo (Innovation Graph, 2026 Q1).

What happens to what you send

What you send may be used to train or improve models unless you turn that off. In the vendor’s words: “For licenses that are for non-commercial use, this setting is enabled by default, but you can opt out at any time in the settings … Detailed code-related data is used for product improvement and training JetBrains models, and it is not shared with third parties.” (source).
