Supermaven alternatives: 5 apps ranked by verified data

Facts checked Oct 25, 2026AppBreakup editorialHow we rank

Common reasons people leave Supermaven: sunset in November 2025; no new development, and agent chat features removed. We ranked 5 alternatives by how directly each one replaces Supermaven, then by reviews, real visits and how recently each app's facts were checked against its own website. GitHub Copilot currently ranks first.

Supermaven has been discontinued. Sunset on 21 November 2025 after Cursor's acquisition; existing JetBrains and Neovim users keep free autocomplete.
