Devin Desktop Pricing: Windsurf Pricing, Windsurf Devin Plans and Devin AI Pricing Compared
Windsurf does not have its own price list any more. We checked in August 2026: windsurf.com/pricing returns a 308 redirect straight to devin.ai/pricing. Here is what the editor actually costs now, which seats can even open it, and where the bill stops behaving like a subscription.

The short answer
Devin Desktop is the IDE formerly sold as Windsurf, and it no longer has its own price list: windsurf.com/pricing now redirects to devin.ai/pricing. You buy a Devin plan, and that plan sets one usage quota shared across Devin cloud sessions, the Devin CLI and Devin Desktop. Self-serve list prices are Free at $0, Pro at $20 a month, Max at $200 a month, and Teams at an $80 a month minimum plus $40 for each full developer seat. Two details decide most purchases. Free flex seats on Teams are unlimited but do not include Devin Desktop access, so an editor rollout needs a paid full seat for every developer. And once your quota is gone, Devin Desktop bills extra usage at API list prices, with Cognition stating that quota limits "never" limit extra usage, which makes the plan price a floor rather than a ceiling.
Devin Desktop pricing, plan by plan
Devin Desktop is not sold on its own. It rides on whichever Devin plan you buy, which is why a page about the editor has to be a page about the whole plan grid. Every price below is Cognition's published US list price, read from its own billing documentation in August 2026.

| Plan | Price | Who it is for | What you get, and what you do not |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 one member | Trying Devin before you commit | Limited usage, plus access to Devin Review and DeepWiki. When the allowance runs out you wait for the next daily or weekly reset: Free accounts cannot buy extra usage. Legacy Core plan customers were migrated onto this tier and can still spend any on-demand credits they had left. |
| Pro | $20 per month, one member | One developer using Devin regularly | A daily and a weekly quota covering Devin sessions, the Devin CLI and Devin Desktop, plus pay-as-you-go on-demand credits past it and the Slack, Linear and MCP integrations. Cognition is explicit that Pro is single user: Pro subscribers cannot invite members to their organization. |
| Max | $200 per month, one member | One developer who keeps exhausting Pro | Everything in Pro with a significantly larger weekly quota and no daily cap at all, which matters if your work arrives in bursts rather than evenly. Also single user, so it is a quota upgrade and never a way to cover a second person. |
| Teams | $80 per month minimum, unlimited members | Any team, from two people up | An $80 monthly floor, $40 for each full developer seat, and unlimited free flex seats. Full seats carry a Pro-equivalent quota and Devin Desktop access. Flex seats carry neither: they spend the shared credit pool and cannot open Devin Desktop. |
| Enterprise | Custom order form | Procurement, SSO and VPC requirements | Billed in Agent Compute Units at the rate set in your order form rather than on the self-serve quota system. This is also the only tier that carries SSO for a new customer, which is the change most likely to catch a Windsurf team out. |
If you are pricing the cloud agent rather than the editor, the full grid with the seat arithmetic sits on our Devin pricing page, and whether Devin is worth it weighs the money against what it finishes.
Windsurf pricing to Devin pricing: what actually changed
Most comparison articles still print a standalone Windsurf plan table. That table is quoting a URL that no longer resolves. Here is the before and after, row by row, with why each one matters to a buyer rather than to a historian.

| The question | Windsurf, before | Devin Desktop, now | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where did Windsurf pricing go? | windsurf.com/pricing, its own plan grid | 308 redirect to devin.ai/pricing | Checked by request in August 2026. The root domain and the download page redirect too. Any article still quoting a standalone Windsurf plan table is quoting a URL that no longer resolves. |
| What is the product called? | Windsurf, the AI IDE | Devin Desktop | Cognition describes it as a next-generation AI IDE. The agent harness inside it, Devin Local, is shared with the Devin CLI, so the editor and the terminal now run the same agent. |
| How is usage metered? | Prompt credits you bought and spent | A token-based daily and weekly quota | Changed in March 2026. Your budget is based on how many tokens the model uses per request, so cost varies by model and free models do not count against quota at all. |
| What happened to unused add-on credits? | Prompt credits at $0.04 each | Converted to extra usage dollars | At exactly the rate you paid, so 250 leftover credits became $10 of extra usage balance. Cognition also allows a refund of the unspent balance through support, which is unusual and worth knowing. |
| What does an existing Pro subscriber pay? | $15 a month | $15 a month, grandfathered indefinitely | A new buyer pays $20 for the same plan. Arriving today costs a third more than arriving last year, and the grandfathered price has no stated end date. |
| What does an existing Teams subscriber pay? | $30 per developer seat | $30 per seat, grandfathered indefinitely | A new full seat is $40. On a twenty developer team that is a $200 a month gap between two companies running identical software. |
| Does a new Teams plan include SSO? | Available as a paid add-on | No, SSO is Enterprise only | Teams who previously bought the add-on keep it under their grandfathered plan. For everyone else SSO now means an Enterprise order form, which is a procurement gate rather than a preference. |
One line deserves repeating because it is the whole story for anyone renewing: the grandfathered prices have no published end date, so an existing Windsurf customer keeps paying $15 a month while a new one pays $20 for the identical product. On a team of twenty, the $30 and $40 seat prices put $200 a month between two companies running the same editor. The background on the rename is in what happened to Windsurf, and the editor itself is still measured against its old rival on Windsurf against Cursor.
How Devin Desktop meters your usage
The plan price is the easy half. What decides your actual invoice is the quota underneath it, which changed shape in March 2026 when Cognition dropped prompt credits for a token-based allowance. Six mechanics worth understanding before you roll this out to a team.
One quota covers three surfaces
A Pro plan or a Teams full seat carries a single allowance shared between Devin cloud sessions, the Devin CLI and Devin Desktop. A developer who lives in the editor and a developer who delegates cloud sessions are drawing on the same budget, so you cannot budget the IDE separately from the agent.
Daily and weekly, except on Max
Pro and Teams full seats have both a daily and a weekly allowance. Max has a weekly allowance only, with no daily cap. Cognition notes the daily figure is deliberately more than one seventh of the weekly one so weekend work does not cost you overall capacity for the week.
Extra usage is uncapped by design
Past your quota, Devin Desktop bills at API list prices for whichever model you are running, and priority or fast model variants cost more. Cognition states plainly that quota limits "never" limit your extra usage. The plan price is therefore a floor on the bill, not a ceiling.
Credits roll over and do not expire
On-demand credits carry month to month and purchased credits never expire, with optional auto-reload and admin-set session spending limits. That is a genuinely better deal than the twelve month expiry several rivals attach to purchased credits, and it is the strongest argument for prepaying here.
The team pool has no per-member balance
On Teams, credits are shared across everyone with no individual allocation, so any teammate can draw from the pool. Useful for flexibility, awkward for chargeback: without the admin usage dashboard you cannot tell whose work spent the month.
A 200k token refactor is normal
Cognition publishes a worked example of one ordinary refactor conversation on Claude Opus 4.6 totalling roughly 200,000 tokens across cache writes, cache reads and output. Multiply that by the model rate before assuming a quota will stretch further than it does.
The uncapped-extra-usage shape is not unique to Cognition, and it is worth recognising when you compare quotes: we walk through the same problem on the Anthropic side in Kiro against Claude Code, where one vendor's plan price is a ceiling and the other's is a floor. If the underlying idea of metered coding tools is new, why AI coding tools use credits is the primer.
What a Devin Teams plan costs at each headcount
Cognition publishes the formula but not the totals, and the $80 minimum makes the first two rows behave in a way people do not expect. Below two full seats you do not save money, you receive the shortfall as prepaid credits instead.
Swipe to see more
| Team shape | How it bills | Monthly total | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 full seats | $80 charged as prepaid credits | $80 / mo | Everyone on flex seats. No Devin Desktop access for anyone. |
| 1 full seat | $40 seat + $40 in credits | $80 / mo | The shortfall against the minimum arrives as credits, not as a discount. |
| 2 full seats | $40 + $40 | $80 / mo | The efficient floor. Two full seats clear the minimum exactly. |
| 5 full seats | 5 x $40 | $200 / mo | Past two seats the minimum stops applying and no credits are included. |
| 10 full seats | 10 x $40 | $400 / mo | Ten developers with editor access and their own quotas. |
| 25 full seats | 25 x $40 | $1,000 / mo | Still self-serve. SSO at this size means moving to Enterprise. |
None of these totals include extra usage, which is the number that moves. Treat the table as the fixed floor and the quota section above as the variable, because that is how the invoice arrives.
The fine print buyers find out later
All eight of these are in Cognition's own documentation. None of them are in the comparison articles, and two of them will change which plan you buy.
- Free flex seats do not include Devin Desktop access. If you are buying this because you want the editor, "unlimited free members" is true and irrelevant: every developer who opens the IDE needs a $40 full seat.
- Pro and Max cannot be shared. Cognition states both are individual plans and Pro subscribers cannot invite members. Two developers on one Pro seat is not a supported setup, it is a Teams plan.
- The $80 Teams minimum applies even with one seat. With fewer than two full seats the remainder is billed as prepaid credits, so a solo founder on Teams pays $80 and receives $40 of credits, not a $40 invoice.
- New Teams plans have no SSO. It moved to Enterprise only. Teams who bought the SSO add-on before the change keep it, which means two customers on the same plan name can have different security capabilities.
- Extra usage has no ceiling. Quota limits do not constrain it, so the only real controls are the admin auto-reload threshold and the default session spending limit under Settings and Usage. Set both before a rollout.
- Arriving late costs more. Grandfathered Windsurf pricing holds at $15 a month for Pro and $30 per Teams seat indefinitely, against $20 and $40 for a new buyer today.
- Automations and Devin Review spend the shared credit pool on Teams, not full-seat quota. Run the pool dry and Automations stop and Devin Review falls back to a plain diff viewer.
- Enterprise is billed in Agent Compute Units at the rate on your order form, so an Enterprise quote cannot be compared to a self-serve quota without converting the units first.
Which Devin plan should you buy?
Buy Pro at $20
One developer, no teammates to add, and you want the editor plus cloud sessions on one bill. Set a session spending limit on day one, because extra usage is where a $20 plan quietly becomes a $60 one.
Buy Teams at $80 plus $40 a seat
Two or more developers who all need Devin Desktop. Give full seats to everyone who opens the editor daily and keep flex seats for occasional users who only need cloud sessions. Two full seats is the efficient entry point.
Go Enterprise
You need SSO, a VPC deployment or centralized controls across multiple organizations. There is no longer a self-serve path to SSO, so a security review will send you here regardless of headcount.
Where we fit, and where Devin Desktop beats us
We sell a competing product, so take the losses first. Devin Desktop is a real IDE and we are not one: if you want an editor with an agent living inside it, autocomplete, a terminal and one-click app deploys, we do not compete and you should buy theirs. Cognition also has the deeper platform, with a CLI, an API, Slack and Linear delegation and a genuinely good PR review product that is free on public repositories.
What we do differently is the shape of the bill and the shape of the output. Agentcode takes a task against a connected GitHub or GitLab repository, plans it, edits the code, runs your test suite and opens a pull request for a human to read. It never merges on its own, so your branch protection and your reviewers stay exactly as they are. It costs $29 a month, flat. There is no quota to run down, no extra usage billed at API list prices behind it, and no seat type that turns out not to include the thing you were buying.
That is a narrower product than Devin. It is the right one if what you keep wanting is finished, reviewable work rather than a faster way to write it yourself, and if a fixed line item matters more than a bigger menu. If you are still drawing up a shortlist, the Devin alternatives worth considering covers the rest of the field honestly.
Devin Desktop pricing: the questions buyers actually ask
How much does Devin Desktop cost?
Devin Desktop is included with any paid Devin plan rather than sold separately. That means $20 a month on Pro, $200 a month on Max, or a $40 full seat inside a Teams plan that starts at an $80 monthly minimum. The Free plan and free Teams flex seats do not include Devin Desktop access. Extra usage past your quota is billed on top at API list prices.
Did Windsurf change to Devin?
Yes. Cognition renamed the Windsurf IDE to Devin Desktop and folded its pricing into Devin. As of August 2026, windsurf.com/pricing returns a 308 redirect to devin.ai/pricing, the root domain redirects to devin.ai/desktop and the download page redirects to devin.ai/download. The editor itself continues, and existing subscribers keep their old prices.
What is Windsurf pricing now?
Windsurf pricing is Devin pricing. There is no separate Windsurf plan grid any more. New buyers pay $0 for Free, $20 a month for Pro, $200 for Max, or an $80 minimum plus $40 per full seat for Teams. Existing Windsurf subscribers are grandfathered indefinitely at $15 a month for Pro and $30 per developer seat on Teams.
Is Devin Desktop free?
There is a Free plan, but it is limited and Cognition does not grant Devin Desktop access to free Teams flex seats. On the Free individual plan you get limited usage plus Devin Review and DeepWiki, and when the allowance runs out you wait for the next daily or weekly reset because Free accounts cannot buy extra usage. For sustained editor use you need a paid plan.
Does Devin Desktop include Devin?
Yes, and they share one budget. A Pro plan or a Teams full seat carries a single usage quota covering Devin cloud sessions, the Devin CLI and Devin Desktop. There is no way to buy the editor on its own or to ring-fence its spending, so heavy editor use directly reduces how many cloud sessions you can run that week.
What happened to my Windsurf credits?
Unused add-on credits were converted into a dollar balance of extra usage at exactly the rate you paid. Since prompt credits sold at $0.04 each, 250 leftover credits became $10 of extra usage. Built-in prompt credits were replaced outright by the quota system. You can also request a refund of the unspent extra usage balance through Cognition support.
Does Devin Desktop have SSO?
Only on Enterprise, for a new customer. Cognition moved SSO out of the Teams plan and made it an Enterprise-only feature. Teams who bought SSO as an add-on before the change keep access under their grandfathered plan. If a security review requires SAML or OIDC, budget for an Enterprise order form rather than a self-serve seat.
Devin Desktop vs Windsurf: what actually changed?
The name, the metering and the seat rules. It is the same IDE with the same editor experience, now running the Devin Local agent harness shared with the Devin CLI. Metering moved from prompt credits to a token-based daily and weekly quota in March 2026, SSO moved to Enterprise, and pricing merged into the Devin plan grid at higher list prices for new buyers.
How many seats do I need on Devin Teams?
One full seat for every developer who opens Devin Desktop, because flex seats cannot. Full seats cost $40 each and carry a Pro-equivalent quota. Flex seats are free and unlimited but draw entirely from the shared on-demand credit pool. Two full seats clears the $80 minimum exactly, so that is the efficient entry point for a small team.
Can I cap what Devin Desktop spends?
Partly, and you should set it up before a rollout. Quota limits do not restrain extra usage at all, so the controls that matter are the auto-reload threshold and the default session spending limit under Settings and Usage. Without them, a large refactor keeps running and keeps billing at API list prices once the included quota is gone.
