The platform supports MCP Marketplace, multi-root workspaces, and secure client-side architecture without subscriptions or vendor lock-in. Cline takes no markup on inference costs. Enterprise tier includes SSO, SLA, RBAC, team dashboard, JetBrains support, and centralized billing for organizations needing advanced features.
