Windsurf
Windsurf · Developer & Infrastructure
AI-first code editor (formerly Codeium). Restructured Mar 19 2026: retired credit-based system, introduced daily/weekly quotas. Free tier (unlimited Tab autocomplete + light Cascade quota), Pro $20/mo, Max $200/mo, Teams $40/user/mo, Enterprise custom. Pro raised from $15 to $20 in the restructure. Acquired by Cognition AI 2025 (Devin autonomous agent team).
In other words, Windsurf is worth it for developers who want an AI-first editor priced on daily/weekly quotas (predictable) rather than Cursor's credit-pool model (metered). Free tier is more generous than Cursor's Hobby — unlimited Tab autocomplete is a real productivity floor for solo devs. Post-Cognition acquisition, expect Devin-style autonomous agent features to ship into Max tier ($200/mo) over the next year. Pro at $20 matches Cursor exactly — the choice comes down to editor feel and quota structure.
