Should you get it
Use it if you need
- ✓development inside JetBrains IDEs: the agent edits code and drives the debugger where you already work
- ✓model freedom without vendor lock-in: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, local models via BYOK
- ✓terminal and CI/CD: Junie CLI (npm @jetbrains/junie) outside the IDE, in pipelines, on GitHub/GitLab
- ✓teams on the JetBrains ecosystem: unified billing in JetBrains AI credits
Choose it if you live in a JetBrains IDE and want an in-editor agent with model freedom; skip it for a low-cost entry point, open source, or use from Russia.
Pass by if needed
- ✗cheap entry: perpetual free includes 3 credits/month, real work starts with AI Pro $10/month
- ✗open-source bet: the agent is proprietary and cannot be forked (only the CLI distribution is open)
- ✗use from Russia: JetBrains blocks product downloads under export controls
- ✗instant inline autocomplete as the only task - that is the AI Assistant/Copilot category
Junie is included in JetBrains AI subscriptions: AI Free $0 (3 credits/month), AI Pro $10/month, AI Ultimate $30/month; payment in credits (1 credit = $1). Blocked from Russia: JetBrains neither sells nor allows Russian users to download products.

Installation by surface
JetBrains IDE (plugin)→
Main surface: the agent inside any JetBrains IDE (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, PhpStorm, Rider, RustRover, RubyMine, CLion). Plugin 26104 - 27.3M downloads, v261.2144.20 (07.07.2026). Ask/Code/Brave modes, agentic debugging through the IDE debugger.
→In JetBrains IDE: Settings, Plugins, Marketplace, “Junie”, Install
→Sign in to your JetBrains AI account (or connect your own model key) and open the Junie panel
>_Junie CLI→
Standalone LLM-agnostic terminal agent: the same engine, but BYOK with any provider. Works outside the IDE, in CI/CD, on GitHub/GitLab. Installation includes a free week of Gemini 3 Flash.
$ npm install -g @jetbrains/junie$ junie>_CI/CD · GitHub/GitLab→
Junie CLI integrates into pipelines and Git platforms: the agent fixes tasks and opens PRs from CI. PR reviews with project context.
>_Remote Mode (web)→
Junie CLI opens a secure tunnel to the Junie web app: one session streams to the browser, controlled from any device. This is not a parallel cloud fleet - one session.
What you need before starting
For the IDE, you need a JetBrains IDE and JetBrains AI license; for the CLI - Node.js or curl/Homebrew and a model key (BYOK) or JetBrains AI subscription. Payment with a foreign card; code goes to the selected model provider.
● Availability from Russia
JetBrains suspended sales in Russia and Belarus and blocks product downloads for Russian users: the screen says "Unavailable for legal reasons... due to export control regulations". Junie requires a JetBrains IDE and JetBrains AI license - both barriers are active. Need an agent without them - see the open Cline and OpenCode (BYOK, local models).

Who is measured and how it is calculated - AI agent ranking
● agent ≠ model
An agent score is always a "Junie + model" pair: Junie is model-agnostic, so the ceiling = the connected model. There is no Junie pair in the AA Coding Agent Index or Terminal-Bench - we show the vendor's own self-report and coverage instead, without substituting another leaderboard.

What it can do: autonomy, techniques, character
Autonomy axis
Junie's autonomy axis stretches from read-only analysis to a session accessible from anywhere. It scales through modes in the agent itself, not a fleet in someone else's cloud: Ask confirms, Code asks for confirmation, Brave removes the brakes, Remote streams the session to the web.

Free access
AI Free: 3 credits/mo; the agent burns through them fast
There is a permanent free plan - AI Free, 3 credits in 30 days, with no top-up. Plus AI Trial (10 credits). But Junie agent features use credits several times faster than autocomplete (1 credit ≈ 10 chat code-gen requests): 3 credits are enough to try it, not to work. Separately, Junie CLI gives a free week of Gemini 3 Flash on installation, then BYOK or a subscription.

Limits
JetBrains AI credits (1 credit = $1); no hard message caps
Usage is counted in credits: 1 credit ≈ 10 chat code-gen / 40 editor code-gen / 280 doc-writing requests, but a Junie agent run uses noticeably more. AI Pro (10 credits) is exhausted in ~a week under heavy use, then top-up (valid for 12 mo) or upgrade. Junie CLI with BYOK - your model provider sets the limit, not JetBrains.

Risks: privacy and control
Code privacy
Zero Data Retention by default; no training on code
JetBrains does not persist data by default (Zero Data Retention): data is used for the current task and discarded unless opt-in Detailed Data Collection is enabled. Code-generating models do not train on user code without explicit consent. Non-commercial: detailed collection is enabled by default, with opt-out in Settings; commercial - no collection without consent. Caveat: code and prompts go to the selected model provider (Anthropic/OpenAI/Google) or remain local with a local model.

Availability from Russia
Blocked: JetBrains does not sell or allow downloads in Russia
JetBrains suspended sales in Russia and Belarus (2022) and closed its business in Russia. Russian users are blocked from downloading products: the screen says “Unavailable for legal reasons... due to export control regulations”. Junie requires a JetBrains IDE + JetBrains AI license (or BYOK keys). This is stricter than “not on the country list” at OpenAI: an active export-control block. Overseas access and an overseas card are required; backend models themselves are restricted by country.

Open source
No: proprietary product (JetBrains AI Service ToS)
The agent is closed: governed by JetBrains AI Service ToS. The public github.com/JetBrains/junie repo (320 stars) contains only the CLI distribution (install scripts), not product source code. You cannot fork the agent. The freedom here is not in the code, but in the model: BYOK with any provider, including local ones. Unlike the open Cline (Apache-2.0) and OpenCode (MIT).

Junie or Claude Code - agent in the IDE versus terminal
Junie is JetBrains' IDE-native agent: it lives inside the editor, drives the debugger, and its model is not locked (BYOK). Claude Code is a terminal-first agent with an out-of-the-box quality ceiling, but only on Claude models. The choice is "agent right in a JetBrains IDE with model freedom" versus "maximum terminal quality".

Frequently asked questions
Junie or Claude Code - which should you choose?
Different trade-offs. Junie is chosen for native life inside JetBrains IDEs: the agent drives the debugger, sets breakpoints, and edits code where you already work, while the model is not locked in (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, local via BYOK). Entry starts at $10/mo, billed in JetBrains AI credits. Claude Code is terminal-first with a higher quality ceiling out of the box from $17/mo, but only Claude models. Live in IntelliJ/PyCharm and want an agent right in the IDE with model freedom - Junie; need maximum terminal quality without JetBrains dependency - Claude Code.
How much does Junie cost and what is its price?
Junie is included with JetBrains AI subscriptions, billed in credits (1 credit = $1). Individually: AI Free $0 (3 credits/mo), AI Pro $10/mo (10 credits), AI Ultimate $30/mo (35 credits); business - AI Pro $20, AI Ultimate $60. An agent run burns through credits fast: AI Pro can be exhausted in a week of heavy work, then top-up (valid for 12 mo). Junie CLI with BYOK is outside credits - pay the model provider directly (verified 08.07.2026).
Does Junie work from Russia?
Not through the official route. JetBrains suspended sales in Russia and Belarus and blocks product downloads for Russian users: the screen says “Unavailable for legal reasons... due to export control regulations”. Junie lives inside JetBrains IDEs and requires a JetBrains AI license - both barriers are active here. This is stricter than “not on the country list”: overseas access and an overseas card are required, while backend models themselves are restricted by country. Need an agent without these barriers - see open Cline or OpenCode (BYOK, local models).
Is Junie free?
Partly. There is a permanent AI Free plan - 3 credits per month with no top-up, plus an AI Trial with 10 credits. But Junie agent runs burn through credits several times faster than autocomplete, so the free limit is enough to try it, not to work - the real entry point is AI Pro $10/mo. Separately, Junie CLI gives a free week of Gemini 3 Flash on installation, then BYOK or a subscription. Need a completely free agent - open Cline or OpenCode with a local model.
Which models does Junie run on?
The model is not locked in. In the IDE, switch between: a default from the Claude Sonnet family, with GPT-5, Claude 4.5 Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Pro available. Junie CLI with BYOK supports any provider - OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Grok - plus local runtimes through LiteLLM, LMStudio, Ollama. Unlike GitHub Copilot and Claude Code: choose the model for the task and bring your own key.
Which is correct: Junie or Dzhuni?
The canonical name is Junie (a JetBrains product, junie.jetbrains.com). In Russian it is written “Dzhuni”, “dzhuni” - the card is found through all variants. Do not confuse it with JetBrains AI Assistant: Junie is specifically an agent (it plans and edits code itself), while AI Assistant is an autocomplete assistant; both use the same JetBrains AI credits.
