Overview

Product Information on Coder

Updated 20th August 2025

What is Coder?

Coder Community (OSS) – A free, open-source Cloud Development Environment (CDE) that removes “works on my machine” issues by provisioning consistent, secure, ready-to-use workspaces for every developer. It unites agentic AI coding agents with human developers in a self-hosted platform, reducing setup time, eliminating configuration drift, and enabling transparent, collaborative workflows. Coder Premium – An enterprise CDE built on the same codebase, solving security, compliance, and scalability challenges by combining agentic AI with advanced workspace management, role-based access control, detailed auditing, and integrations. It accelerates delivery while maintaining centralized governance and operational control.

Coder Pricing

Coder offers a free, open-source Community edition with unlimited workspaces, templates, and members for a single organization. For enterprises, Coder Premium is licensed annually per user and adds advanced security, scalability, governance, and global support. Customers can start with Community and upgrade seamlessly as needs grow.

“Comprehensive Documentation and Secure Cloud Access Highlighted by Development Teams”

5.0
Oct 21, 2025
Product is well thought out with very good documentation. We used the v1 and upgraded to the v2 version. Our teams love it as it gives them the ability to be more performant than their local machine. As a less technical person who doesn't do daily tech work, I love that it lets me keep coding tools off my laptop, but quickly get to them when I need them. As a security leader I also like that we can created vetted and highly secure access pathways via cloud hosted dev environments instead of having less secure laptops gain access to systems.

Reviewer Insights for: Coder

Coder Likes & Dislikes

Like

Documentation is great, deployment is clean and easy to maintain, and it's feature rich at both the community and paid tiers.

Like

I like the ability to customerize via terraform

Like

The workspaces are very efficient and have been a marked improvement from our previous VDI platform

Dislike

The migration from V1 to V2 wasn't seamless, but they provided great documentation.

Dislike

Its a steep learning curve, but worth the investment. The control plane should have an option for reference implementation and allow for a managed version. The workspace environments themselves is the companies responsibility then.

Dislike

* requires a lot of technical skill to deploy efficiently * things move fast and active development means new features can be a bit shaky * first-line customer support is agentic AI, which can seem less personal
