About Phind
Phind was an AI-powered search engine and coding assistant specifically tailored for developers, leveraging large language models fine-tuned on technical documentation, Stack Overflow, and GitHub repositories. It aimed to provide accurate, cited answers with code snippets to complex technical queries. The service was permanently shut down on January 16, 2026.
Why We Scored It 6/10
6/10
Phind has gained popularity among developers with its 405B flagship model and cited technical answers, but lacks API access and has minimal review data despite $10.4M funding. The freemium model with 500 daily searches is generous, but it remains mid-tier against stronger competitors like Perplexity and GitHub Copilot.
