What it really isSweep — AI coding assistant plugin for JetBrains IDEs.
Our takeSweep is an AI-powered autocomplete and agentic coding tool built exclusively for JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.).
Actual entry paid tier is $10/mo with a limited free trial; the product is a developer productivity tool, not a general automation platform. It pivoted from its original GitHub-bot roots to a polished JetBrains plugin with 40k+ marketplace installs and the #1 AI-plugin ranking.
Why we rate itRated #1 AI plugin on JetBrains Marketplace with 4.9 stars and 40k+ installs.
Privacy mode (SOC 2, no code retention) and genuinely fast tab completion set it apart from generic alternatives for JetBrains users.
The catchJetBrains-only — VS Code, Cursor, or Neovim users are completely locked out.
API-credit overage costs can add up for heavy agent use.

Best / not good for

Best for
  • JetBrains IDE developers wanting AI autocomplete and agentic coding
  • Privacy-conscious teams needing SOC 2 compliance and no code training
  • Power users on IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, or GoLand
Not good for
  • VS Code, Cursor, or Neovim users — no support outside JetBrains
  • Teams wanting a standalone workflow automation or no-code platform
  • Developers who need GitHub PR automation bots (Sweep's original use case, now deprecated)
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: JetBrains Marketplace install in under 2 minutes; autocomplete activates immediately on first file open.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Per-seat team billing at $40/seat and API credit overages can escalate cost for large engineering orgs with heavy agent use.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: code context and index stored in Sweep's cloud; switching assistants means re-indexing. No general data export.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
