Windsurf Pricing: The Short Answer
Windsurf is now called Devin Desktop, after Cognition renamed it on June 2, 2026, and windsurf.com/pricing now shows the Devin plans. Individual plans are Free ($0), Pro ($20 a month) and Max ($200 a month). Teams costs $80 a month for the team plan plus $40 a month per full developer seat, and Enterprise is custom. Since March 19, 2026, plans use daily and weekly usage quotas instead of credits.
Quick answer: How much does Windsurf cost? Free is $0, Pro is $20 a month, Max is $200 a month, and Teams starts at $80 a month plus $40 per full seat. Prices are from Devin's pricing page, checked November 10, 2026.

How Windsurf Quotas Work
Cognition replaced Windsurf's credit system on March 19, 2026. Each paid plan now includes a usage allowance that refreshes daily and weekly. Cognition says the cost of each message depends on the model, task size and reasoning required. If you go past your allowance on a paid plan, you buy extra usage at API pricing.
Cognition's tips for stretching the quota are to keep prompts short and to use smaller models, such as Haiku or open-source models, for routine work.
Did Windsurf Prices Change After the Rename?
No. Cognition's Devin Desktop FAQ says plans and pricing stayed the same when Windsurf became Devin Desktop. Cognition also said in March 2026 that Pro and Teams subscribers from before the quota change keep their old price indefinitely. QuantSlant reports those older prices as $15 for Pro and $30 a seat for Teams.
On Teams, a full seat unlocks Devin Desktop and includes $40 a month of usage across Devin Cloud, Devin Desktop, Devin CLI and Devin Review.
Is Windsurf Worth It?
Pro at $20 is the obvious start for a developer who wants an AI editor with agents. Max at $200 only makes sense if you regularly buy extra usage on Pro or hit the daily limit. Compare it with Cursor and Claude Code on a week of your own work before paying yearly.
