Gemini Code Assist

Google

Vendor

Google coding assistant for organisations (Standard and Enterprise editions); the individual free tier was retired in June 2026 in favour of Antigravity.

Curated by Tiberiu ArvaStale

Proprietary

Strengths

  • VPC-SC + IP indemnification
  • Google ecosystem fit
  • Private codebase customization

Practitioner note

Worth considering for Google Cloud-centric teams, but enterprise rollout quality still depends heavily on how much of the stack already lives in Google tooling.

Warning

Gemini Code Assist: From October 9, 2026, new Gemini Code Assist Standard and Enterprise subscriptions can no longer be purchased; existing subscriptions auto-renew through 2026 and auto-renewal ends in 2027. Google points customers to Antigravity.
