Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf / Codeium) has four price points and none of them are complicated: Free at $0, Pro at $20/mo, Max at $200/mo, and Teams at $80/mo org base plus $40/mo per full dev seat, with Enterprise by sales—quotas refresh on daily and weekly windows, and overage bills at the underlying model's API rate (source). When Windsurf was retired and the IDE was renamed Devin Desktop on June 2, 2026, pricing stayed exactly the same: Cascade Agent remains the core workflow, and SWE 1.7 is the current proprietary model (source). This guide walks through pricing, the model lineup, quota rules, and whether it is worth it.
Windsurf Pricing Comparison: What Each Tier Costs After the Rename
The rename did not raise prices—when Windsurf became Devin Desktop, the Free/Pro/Max/Teams tiers kept their exact pricing, from $20/mo for individuals and $80/mo base for teams. The official pricing page (source) lists Free at $0, Pro at $20/mo (with a 2-week free trial), Max at $200/mo, and Teams at $80/mo org base plus $40/mo per full developer seat with unlimited flex seats; Enterprise requires contacting sales. Full tier comparison:
| Tier | Price | Key benefits | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Light daily/weekly quota · unlimited Tab completions & inline edits · SWE 1.7 (Slow) | Evaluating whether the workflow fits |
| Pro | $20/mo | All frontier models · free SWE 1.7 · Devin Cloud · overage at API price (2-week trial) | Individual devs coding frequently with AI |
| Max | $200/mo | Everything in Pro · much higher quota (Premium ~47–631 msgs/day) | All-day heavy agent development |
| Teams | $80/mo + $40/mo/full seat | Pro-level quota · centralized billing · unlimited flex seats | Teams needing collaboration and one budget |
| Enterprise | Contact sales | SSO · VPC deployment · dedicated support | Large organizations |
Two pricing facts are easy to mix up. First, Pro's $20 is the new price: when Windsurf switched from credits to quotas in March 2026, Pro rose from $15 to $20, and existing subscribers can be grandfathered at the old rate. Second, Teams is structured differently from Cursor Teams—Cursor charges purely per seat ($40/user/mo), while Devin Teams adds a fixed $80/mo org base. The purchase entry is the official pricing page, and you can also subscribe inside the Devin Desktop client after downloading it—no separate top-up is needed, and billing runs automatically on a monthly cadence.
Latest Models and Core Features: SWE 1.7, Cascade Agent and a 10-Model Lineup
The "new" in Devin Desktop has two parts: the proprietary SWE 1.7 is now free on Pro and above as the latest software-engineering model, and the IDE ships 10 models from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and Kimi, all orchestrated by Cascade Agent. SWE 1.7 is the successor to SWE-1.6, tuned for agent edits and Tab completions; the official blog describes it as reaching frontier-level intelligence at much lower cost (source). Cascade Agent handles multi-file coordinated edits, terminal integration, and the Agent Command Center—it is the core Devin Desktop experience and available on every tier.
| Model | Origin | Tier class | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| SWE 1.7 | Cognition proprietary | Exclusive | Agent edits & Tab completions, free on Pro+ |
| GPT-5.4 | OpenAI | Premium Plus | Complex reasoning, hard multi-step tasks |
| GPT-5.3 Codex | OpenAI | Premium Plus | Agentic coding, function-level understanding |
| GPT-5.2 | OpenAI | Premium | Everyday Cascade workhorse |
| Claude Opus 4.6 | Anthropic | Premium Plus | 1M context, complex architecture decisions |
| Claude Sonnet 4.6 | Anthropic | Premium | High intelligence with manageable quota burn |
| Gemini 3.1 Pro | Premium | Long context and multimodal input | |
| Claude Haiku 4.5 | Anthropic | Lightweight | Fast and light, recommended to save quota |
| Gemini 3 Flash | Lightweight | Simple edits and quick Q&A | |
| Kimi K2.5 | Moonshot | Lightweight | Open weights, stretches quota |
By vendor, these 10 models cover the GPT-5 series from OpenAI, the Opus/Sonnet/Haiku trio from Claude, Pro/Flash from Gemini, and the open-weight K2.5 from Kimi. Model choice directly drives quota burn: Premium Plus and Premium models are the most capable but consume the most per message, while the Lightweight tier (Claude Haiku 4.5, Gemini 3 Flash, Kimi K2.5) is explicitly listed in the official FAQ as a way to extend usage. SWE 1.7 is free on Pro and above and only available at Slow speed on Free, so free users can still try the proprietary model—just more slowly.
Quota, Usage and Limits: How the Daily/Weekly Windows Work
Devin Desktop bills by quota, not by token count: paid tiers get an allowance that refreshes automatically on daily and weekly windows, the official page publishes only daily message estimates (not hard caps), and overage is purchased at API pricing. Since Windsurf moved from credits to quotas in March 2026, the official FAQ has stated that every paid plan includes a usage allowance refreshing daily and weekly, enough to fully cover agent usage for most users (source). Official daily message estimates:
| Model class | Pro / Teams (msgs/day) | Max (msgs/day) |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Plus (GPT-5.4, Claude Opus 4.6, etc.) | 7–27 | 42–170 |
| Premium (GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, etc.) | 8–101 | 47–631 |
| Lightweight (Claude Haiku 4.5, Gemini 3 Flash, Kimi K2.5) | 47–190 | 291–1,190 |
A few things to keep straight: these numbers are estimates, not hard caps, and a separate weekly cap also applies; different models burn quota at different rates, and Devin Cloud autonomous runs are a major consumption driver; Priority/Fast configurations consume quota faster. Beyond the included usage, Pro/Max/Teams can buy extra usage at the underlying model's API price without a hard stop, while Free has no purchase option and must wait for the next refresh.
Is It Worth It: How to Pick the Right Devin Desktop Tier
Bottom line: the $20/mo Pro plan is the most cost-effective starting point for most people—it unlocks all frontier models, free SWE 1.7, and Devin Cloud in one shot at the same price as Cursor Pro; heavy users move up to Max, and teams go straight to Teams. The deciding factor is not model access (everything above Pro has it) but where your agent usage falls and whether you need cloud agents and team collaboration.
| Your situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Light use, evaluating the workflow | Free, SWE 1.7 on the Slow tier |
| Frequent AI coding, want all frontier models | Pro $20/mo (2-week free trial) |
| All-day Cascade Agent use, quota caps hit often | Max $200/mo, several times the Pro quota |
| Team needs one bill and centralized management | Teams $80/mo + $40/mo per full dev seat |
| Compliance, SSO, private deployment | Enterprise, contact sales |
Across the market, Devin Desktop Pro matches Cursor Pro at $20/mo, and Max at $200/mo sits in the same price band as Cursor Ultra and Kiro Power, but with quota-based billing instead of credits or dual pools. The real difference from Cursor is structural: Cascade Agent multi-file coordination, the proprietary SWE 1.7, Devin Cloud integration, and ACP protocol support.
Whether to upgrade for SWE 1.7 or Cascade Agent depends on your workflow: multi-file refactors, cross-repo changes, and long-running cloud agents are Devin Desktop's home turf; if you only need lightweight completions and quick Q&A, the Free tier's unlimited Tab completions are honestly enough—no need to pay right away.
Things to Watch: Rename, Billing and Integration Gotchas
Before paying, get these rules straight—especially "rename without repricing / grandfathered rates" and "overage at API pricing." In detail:
- Rename and migration: on June 2, 2026, Windsurf was retired and the IDE became Devin Desktop, with Agent Command Center as the default interface and Agent Client Protocol (ACP) support; pricing is unchanged, subscriptions and extensions migrate seamlessly, and Pro users on the old $15 rate can be grandfathered.
- Billing basis: since March 2026 it is quota-based, not credits, and Pro's new price is $20; beyond quota, paid tiers buy extra usage at the underlying model's API price, while Free waits for the daily/weekly refresh.
- Quota consumption: exact quota numbers are unpublished—only daily message estimates exist, plus a weekly cap; Priority/Fast configurations and Devin Cloud autonomous runs speed up consumption noticeably.
- No standalone API price sheet: Devin API / DeepWiki / Ask Devin are built-in platform capabilities, not an independent pay-as-you-go API; Devin Desktop is a Coding Plan subscription and offers no separate API-key-style usage billing.
- Prices follow the official page: the plans.json data was updated on 2026-08-15, and this article was verified against the official page on 2026-08-18 (source).
Overall verdict: Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) has a clear price structure and the rename did not raise prices—Pro at $20/mo is the best starting point for most people, while Max and Teams exist for heavy and team scenarios. Figure out which quota band your agent usage falls into first, then check it against the estimates table, and you will not overpay.
