Devin Desktop, formerly Windsurf

Cognition AI US

Windsurf no longer exists under that name: Cognition acquired it in 2025 and renamed the editor Devin Desktop on 2 June 2026, and windsurf.com now resolves to the Devin site. What you install today is an IDE that doubles as a command centre for local and cloud agents over the Agent Client Protocol.

Best for

Teams that want an agent manager with an IDE around it, rather than an editor with AI added

Strengths / Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Agent Client Protocol support, so you can run Claude Code or Codex inside it
  • Teams pricing is a readable flat platform fee plus a per-seat charge
  • You can attach an existing ChatGPT plan instead of buying more quota
  • Free tier includes unlimited tab completion and inline edits

Weaknesses

  • The rename on 2 June 2026 split documentation and tutorials across two product names
  • Teams billing adds a USD 80 platform fee on top of seats, which surprises small shops
  • Cognition has now folded two editors into one brand, so roadmap continuity is a fair question

Pricing

Plan Price Unit Note
Free Price on request per user light agent quota, unlimited inline edits and tab completions
Pro Price on request per user USD 20 per month, frontier models, free SWE-2, Devin Cloud access
Max Price on request per user USD 200 per month, significantly higher quotas
Teams Price on request per team plus seats USD 80 per month for the team plan plus USD 40 per full developer seat, up to 100 users

Verdict

A capable product with an identity problem. As an agent command centre it is genuinely different from Cursor, the ACP support means you are not locked to Cognition's own SWE-2 model, and Pro at EUR 18.40 is in line with the market. But anything you read about Windsurf written before June 2026 describes a product under a name that no longer exists, and the USD 80 platform fee makes Teams expensive for five people.
