Windsurf

Free, or $20/mo to start

Windsurf is for an editor agent at $20 with frontier models and cloud agents, developers comparing Windsurf with Cursor's current plans, and people who still search for Windsurf and need the current product name. The cheapest paid plan the ranking counts is Pro at $20/mo.

The editor formerly called Windsurf, now sold as Devin Desktop.

Windsurf was acquired by Cognition and is sold as Devin Desktop. windsurf.com redirects into Devin. Plans are Free, Pro at $20, and Max at $200, with daily and weekly quotas Cognition does not publish as a prompt count. Pick this when you want an editor agent and you are comparing it with Cursor, not when you want the old Windsurf credit packs.

Best for

  • An editor agent at $20 with frontier models and cloud agents
  • Developers comparing Windsurf with Cursor's current plans
  • People who still search for Windsurf and need the current product name

Not great for

  • Anyone expecting the old Windsurf credit tables (those plans are gone)
  • No-code browser app building
  • A published quota you can budget to the prompt

Pricing tiers

Individual plans marked for budget matching can change the quiz. Team plans are listed so you can see them, and they do not decide a beginner's rank. Verify means confirm the live page before you quote or pay.

Max

Individual

$200/mo

Verified

Everything in Pro with a significantly larger weekly quota and no daily cap. The quota multiple is not published as a number.

The no-daily-cap rule is on Devin's self-serve plan docs. The pricing page says significantly higher quotas and does not print a number.

Teams

Team

$80/mo minimum

Verified

$80/mo minimum, then $40/mo per full seat. Each full seat has its own quota. Up to 200 users.

Not an individual plan. The $80 is the team minimum, not a per-person price.

When you hit the limit

Pro has daily and weekly quotas. Max has a weekly quota and no daily cap. Cognition does not publish the size. Past the quota, paid plans can buy extra usage at API pricing.

  1. 1. Check the in-app quota before you assume you need a new tool. Pro resets daily and weekly. Max has no daily cap, so a heavy afternoon may not clear overnight.
  2. 2. Buy extra usage at API pricing on Pro or Max if the included quota is gone and the task is urgent.
  3. 3. Move from Pro ($20) to Max ($200) for what Cognition calls significantly higher quotas.
  4. 4. Free cannot buy on-demand credits. Upgrade to Pro, or to Teams if more than one person needs the subscription.
  5. 5. If you need a published credit count, Copilot prints one. Current Cursor plans do not publish a prompt count.
