About Continue
Continue.dev is an open-source AI coding assistant available as a VS Code extension, JetBrains plugin, and CLI. It provides AI-powered autocomplete, chat, and codebase-aware assistance, and has evolved into a 'Continuous AI' platform with CLI agents that automate tasks on pull requests. The tool is model-agnostic, enabling users to utilize various cloud or local LLMs and pay only for their API usage.
Why We Scored It 6/10
6/10
Continue offers strong technical capabilities with extensive model support and a generous free tier, earning solid GitHub traction (34K stars) and good ratings (4.3/5). However, its niche market position and limited funding ($5.1M) constrain its ability to compete with well-funded competitors like Cursor and GitHub Copilot.
