Our verdict
The IDE most Java and Kotlin developers reach for, with refactoring and code analysis that set the standard. Since 2025.3 there is a single download: the core features are free and Ultimate unlocks advanced frameworks and database tools. It is memory-hungry, so it suits machines with 16 GB RAM better than 8 GB.
