If you're searching "Windsurf pricing" and the numbers don't line up with what you remember, here's why: Windsurf is now Devin Desktop. Cognition rebranded the editor, and it no longer has a separate Windsurf price list — it uses Devin pricing. So the right question is "what does Devin Desktop cost," and the answer is the Devin tier structure below. Everything else about the editor — a VS Code-fork workspace with local and cloud agents — carries the new name.

Quick answer: Windsurf/Devin Desktop uses Devin pricing — Free to try, Pro at $20/month for individual working use, Max at $200/month for heavy usage, Teams at $80/month plus $40 per developer seat, and Enterprise custom. Usage beyond your included quota is billed at API pricing, so treat any paid tier as its base price plus your agent consumption. Verify on devin.ai/pricing before buying; this pricing changes.

Why 'usage at API pricing' is the number that matters

The tier price is the predictable half of your bill; the variable half is agent usage past your included quota, billed at API pricing. That means two people on the same Pro plan can pay very differently depending on how much agent work they run. This is the same usage-billing reality we flag for Cursor's on-demand usage and Zed's tokens — the discipline is identical: pick your tier for the base workflow, then watch consumption, and budget the plan price as a floor, not a ceiling.

Frequently asked questions

Is Windsurf still called Windsurf?

No — Windsurf is now Devin Desktop from Cognition. The editor was rebranded, so current pricing and product pages live under the Devin name. If you find an old Windsurf price list, treat it as outdated and check devin.ai/pricing instead. The editor remains a VS Code-fork workspace with local and cloud agents. Checked 2026-06-22.

It uses Devin pricing: Free to try, Pro at $20/month, Max at $200/month, Teams at $80/month plus $40 per developer seat, and Enterprise custom.

Is there a free version of Windsurf/Devin Desktop?

Yes, Devin pricing includes a Free tier for trying the editor and agents before you commit. It's an evaluation path rather than a full working setup; move to Pro at $20/month when the free allowance interrupts real work. Because it's a VS Code fork, trying it costs little setup time. Verify the current free-tier limits on devin.ai/pricing. Checked 2026-06-22.

Bottom line: the confusion is the rename, not the numbers — Windsurf is Devin Desktop and bills on Devin pricing, from Free to Pro $20 to Max $200 to Teams and Enterprise, with overage at API pricing. Choose a tier for your base workflow and budget the variable usage on top. Re-check devin.ai/pricing before you pay; this page dates its figures 2026-06-22 because this pricing moves.
