Introducing Cline for Enterprise: Your Infrastructure, Your Inference, Same Cline

The future of enterprise AI coding isn't about restricting developers, it's about enabling them at scale, with the governance layer enterprises actually need.

Millions of developers at large organizations are already using Cline, seamlessly connecting to Bedrock, Vertex, Azure, and other inference providers' APIs for accessing LLMs their organizations already trust and approve. Organizations have adopted Cline for its best-in-class agentic coding capability and the full control of its client-side architecture: their code stays with them, models aren't trained on it, and development remains secure.

When Salesforce built Agentforce, they chose Cline's open architecture. Teams at Samsung, SAP, and Oracle deployed the same OSS foundation across tens of thousands of developers. They proved Cline's superior quality and ability to scale.

Now we're taking the next step: making that same architecture available with the enterprise governance layer teams need for org-wide rollout—security by design, central audit trails, policy enforcement, and cost visibility across thousands of developers. Integrate with any cloud or inference provider at your negotiated rates.

Today we're announcing Cline Enterprise.

The rapid adoption of AI coding has outpaced governance capabilities. Organizations need to move from distributed experiments to centralized production with security, data privacy, and cost control. Cline Enterprise bridges that gap.

What Cline Enterprise provides

Security by design

With Cline, your code stays where it belongs—inside your environment. The platform never uploads, indexes, or trains on your codebase. This client-side design guarantees that your proprietary data and development processes remain private, giving you full control while still benefiting from flexible, enterprise-approved LLM integrations.

• Client-side execution: All processing happens locally within your environment.
• No data exfiltration: Cline never uploads or transmits your code or context externally.
• No codebase indexing: Your repositories are never indexed or cached.
• No model training on your data: None of your code or prompts are used by Cline to train or fine-tune models.

Bring your own inference

Transparency and flexibility are at the core of Cline. Most AI tools force you to buy inference through them, adding markup and creating vendor lock-in. Your existing cloud contracts and startup credits sit unused while you pay retail rates. On the other hand, LLM models are evolving rapidly today, where the leading coding model this month may be outpaced next month. Cline solves this by letting you use your own inference and negotiated cloud rates, giving your team the freedom to switch and adapt instantly as models improve.

To leverage your existing investments, Cline Enterprise enables:

• Direct integration with your providers - Bedrock, Vertex, Azure, OpenAI, Anthropic, Cerebras, and more
• Use your negotiated rates - Leverage your own inference, with no markup from Cline
• Choose models per use case - Claude Sonnet 4.5 as a daily driver, GPT-5 for complex refactoring, open-source models for simple tasks
• Leverage committed spend - Your existing cloud or startup program contracts now cover AI coding
• No vendor lock-in - Switch models or providers anytime

This flexibility isn't just about cost and model choice; it's about resilience. When one provider experiences an outage, your development doesn't stop. Unlike tools that lock you to their infrastructure on a single cloud provider, Cline lets you instantly switch to any available provider. No single point of failure means no downtime for your developers.

We handle the agent loop. You handle the inference.

Governance at scale

Platform teams need central control over thousands of developers using AI. Individual API keys scattered across laptops create security risks, compliance gaps, and cost overruns.

To restore control at scale, Cline Enterprise provides:

• SSO authentication - Developers use corporate credentials, not personal API keys
• Role-based access control (RBAC) - Fine-grained permissions for your team
• Governance at scale - Control which models and tools each team can access
• Remote configuration - Manage settings for all developers from one dashboard, including access to certain providers and MCP servers

Configure Cline Enterprise to work with your enterprise environment. Govern centrally. Let developers work how they prefer.

Complete observability

You're blind to what's happening with distributed OSS installations. No usage metrics, no cost tracking, no performance data. You can't optimize what you can't see.

To bring visibility to your AI coding infrastructure, Cline Enterprise delivers:

• OpenTelemetry export - Logs flow directly to your Datadog, Grafana, or Splunk
• Cost breakdown by project - See exactly what each team spends on which models
• Model performance comparison - Identify which models are favorites on high-performing teams
• JSON output from every run - Build custom dashboards and reports in your existing tools

The same observability standards you require for production systems, now for AI coding.

Developer experience unchanged

Cline meets engineers in their preferred development environment. The same Cline they know from open source with the best-in-class agentic coding capability, now connected to enterprise infrastructure.

Stay in your flow. Whether you code in VS Code or JetBrains, Cline fits right in. The CLI extends that experience beyond the editor. It launches tasks from your terminal, coordinates multiple instances working together on complex coding projects, then continues everything in your IDE with full context preserved. When Sentry webhooks fire, trigger Cline CLI to analyze, fix, test, and open PRs automatically. Connect Cline to your Slack to automatically trigger code reviews.

DevX teams can build custom internal tooling on top of Cline's agent loop using the CLI and lifecycle hooks – from automated PR reviewers to integration with your incident response systems. Handle complex enterprise codebases with multi-root workspace support. Everything developers love about Cline, with the governance you require.

Pricing

Simple per-seat licensing. You bring your own inference through existing cloud contracts.

Team tier is free for the rest of 2025. After that, it's free for up to 10 users, then $20/user/month.

Enterprise pricing scales with your organization. Contact sales for pricing tailored to your organization size.
