Windsurf

There is a free tier with a light quota plus unlimited inline edits and tab completions. Paid individual plans are Pro at $20/month and Max at $200/month for power users, while Team plans run $80/month plus $40/month per full developer seat, and Enterprise is custom-priced. If you exceed your included usage on a paid plan, additional usage is billed at API pricing, so verify current rates on the official site.

You decide what to build, then delegate tasks to local or cloud agents that write the code, handle edge cases, and run tests. The agent command center tracks sessions as running, waiting for review, or done, and the built-in IDE lets you read, trace, and debug every change before it ships. The model emphasizes human oversight, with you reviewing and approving agent output.

Each paid plan includes a usage allowance that refreshes automatically on a daily and weekly basis, and for most users this covers all agent activity. Cost per message varies based on the model used, task size, complexity, and required reasoning. You can stretch your quota by writing precise prompts and switching to smaller models like mini and open-source options for routine work.

Paid plans provide access to frontier models from OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini, plus the proprietary SWE 1.6 and leading open-source models. Integrations include GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket for source control, Linear and Jira for project tracking, and Slack and Teams for communication, with custom git provider support available on higher tiers.

Enterprise plans include SAML/OIDC SSO, centralized admin controls, teamspace isolation, and the option to deploy in your own virtual private cloud (VPC). Team plans add centralized billing, an admin dashboard with analytics, and priority support. Organizations with strict requirements should confirm current security and compliance details directly with Cognition.

Windsurf was acquired by Cognition, the company behind the Devin AI software engineer, and the product has been rebranded as Devin Desktop and integrated into the broader Devin ecosystem. Existing paying subscribers were told pricing would not change, and pre-purchased credits were converted into usage under the new system. The IDE experience remains, now with added Devin Cloud agents and API access.

Yes, Windsurf (now Devin Desktop) offers a free plan with light quotas for coding with agents, limited model availability, and unlimited inline edits and tab completions. However, access to frontier models from OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini requires upgrading to the Pro plan at $20/month.

The research indicates Windsurf integrates well into existing development setups and is built on a VS Code-like foundation, but specific integration details with third-party tools and services were not found in our research. Check the official documentation for current integration capabilities.

Windsurf is frequently compared to Cursor, with users noting that as of early 2025, some found Cursor better while others preferred Windsurf's quick bootstrapping capabilities. Windsurf specializes in code editing with AI across files and modules, while alternatives like Emergent or Replit may be better for full-stack production builds with backend and deployment. VS Code receives Windsurf features 3-6 months earlier, and JetBrains has full support with some terminal chat limitations.
