Windsurf was an AI code editor, and on 14 November 2026 its web address, windsurf.com, redirected to a page called Devin Desktop. That page says Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. So this guide has two jobs: to explain what the rename means for anyone searching for Windsurf, and to set out the features and prices that the vendor documents under the new name.
We did not run hands-on tests, so we cannot say how the editor or its agents perform. Everything below comes from the vendor’s own pages at devin.ai. If you are comparing editors, our article on Replit, Cursor and Windsurf covers the wider field, and how to test an AI tool before you pay gives a method for trying it.
How we researched this: we did not run hands-on tests for this article. It is based on the vendor’s own documentation and public sources, checked on 11 November 2026. Features and prices change, so confirm details on the vendor’s site before you buy.
Key takeaways
- Windsurf has been renamed Devin Desktop, according to the vendor’s own FAQ, which says plan, pricing, extensions and settings carry over.
- The Devin Desktop page we read on 14 November 2026 lists Free at $0, Pro at $20 a month, Max at $200 a month, Teams and Enterprise.
- The page lists Teams at $80 a month plus $40 a month per full seat, while a pricing blog says Teams is $40 per seat, so confirm which applies.
- A pricing blog says that from 19 March 2026 quotas that refresh daily and weekly replaced credits, and extra usage is billed at API pricing.
- We could not find the exact rename date on the official page, and we did not read privacy terms, so those points are unconfirmed.
What Windsurf is and who makes it
Windsurf was an AI editor. The official page at devin.ai/desktop says Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf, built on the Windsurf IDE with a new agent command center. It also says that plan, pricing, extensions and settings carry over, and that Windsurf for JetBrains remains available.
The page does not give the date of the rename. Secondary sources we saw mention around early June 2026, but they are not official, so we treat the date as unconfirmed. If the date matters for a contract or a purchase record, ask the vendor.
This means that older articles, videos and comparison tables that refer to Windsurf may describe the same product under its old name, with older plan names and prices. We found one such page on the vendor’s own blog, from December 2024, listing Pro at $15 and Pro Ultimate at $60. Those figures are out of date and we do not present them as current.

Who Windsurf is for
Devin Desktop is aimed at developers who want an editor with agents built in, and at teams who want to manage several agents at once. The plan ladder runs from a free tier to Max at $200 a month, with Teams and Enterprise above that.
The table maps situations to plans using the pages we read. It is our reading, not a statement by the vendor about its users.
| If you are | Plan to look at | Why, according to the pages |
|---|---|---|
| Trying it | Free ($0) | Light agent quota, unlimited inline edits and Tab completions listed on the blog |
| An individual developer | Pro ($20 a month) | Higher quotas than Free |
| A heavy individual user | Max ($200 a month) | Largest individual quotas |
| A team | Teams | Centralized billing, admin analytics, priority support |
| A large organisation | Enterprise | Custom pricing |
Core features
An editor built on Windsurf
The vendor says Devin Desktop is built on the Windsurf IDE. People who used Windsurf should find the same base, with a new agent command center added.
Spaces and Kanban
The page lists Spaces and a Kanban view for organising work. We did not read how they behave, but they point to managing several tasks at once rather than one chat at a time.
Multi agent management
The page describes multi agent management, which suggests running several agents side by side. This is the main change from a single assistant model.
Local and cloud sessions
The page says sessions can be handed off between local and cloud. Subagents can produce pull requests, according to the same page.
Fast Context and Supercomplete
Fast Context and Supercomplete are named on the page. We did not read definitions, so we describe only that they are features of the product.
Devin Review
Devin Review is listed on the page as a code review feature. We did not read how it works.
Newer and advanced features and integrations
Agent Client Protocol
The page lists the Agent Client Protocol among its features. We did not read the specification, so we only note that it is named.
Fusion
Fusion is listed on the page without an explanation in what we read.
Integrations
The page lists Slack, Teams, Linear, Notion, Jira and Confluence, Datadog, Sentry, Figma, Vercel and Stripe. These connect the editor to the tools around code, and each raises data questions.
Free models
The pricing blog says free models such as SWE-1.5 are available. Which models are free can change.
Platforms
The page lists a download for macOS. The screenshot taken in a Windows browser showed a Download for Windows button, so platform support may be wider, but check the download page.
Pricing and plans
We read the Devin Desktop page and the vendor’s pricing blog on 14 November 2026. Prices are in US dollars. Confirm on the vendor page before you buy.
The Devin Desktop page lists Free at $0, Pro at $20 a month, Max at $200 a month, Teams at $80 a month plus $40 a month per full seat, and Enterprise at custom pricing. A pricing blog effective 19 March 2026 says quotas that refresh daily and weekly replaced credits, and lists Free, Pro at $20, Teams at $40 per seat and Max at $200.
| Plan | Price (14 Nov 2026) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Light agent quota, unlimited inline edits and Tab completions (blog) |
| Pro | $20 a month | Daily and weekly refreshing quotas |
| Max | $200 a month | Largest individual quotas |
| Teams | $80 a month plus $40 a month per full seat (page), or $40 per seat (blog) | Centralized billing, admin analytics, priority support, automated zero data retention (blog) |
| Enterprise | Custom | Not detailed |
The Teams price differs between the two official pages we read. The blog gives $40 per seat. The desktop page gives $80 a month plus $40 a month per full seat. We could not tell which is current, so ask the vendor.
Extra usage is billed at API pricing, according to the blog, and the blog gives estimated messages per day for Pro, Teams and Max. Our guide to reading an AI tool’s pricing page explains how quotas differ from credits.
Strengths
A continuing product base
Because plan, pricing, extensions and settings carry over, existing Windsurf users do not start from zero.
Agent management in one place
Spaces, Kanban and multi agent management put several agents in one view.
A free tier with edits and completions
The blog lists unlimited inline edits and Tab completions on Free, with a light agent quota.
Many integrations
The long list of integrations covers chat, tickets, monitoring, design and payments.
Team features documented
The blog lists centralized billing, admin analytics, priority support and automated zero data retention for Teams.
Weaknesses and limits
A rename creates confusion
The same product appears as Windsurf and Devin Desktop, and old pages show old prices.
Two Teams prices
Two official pages give different Teams prices.
Quotas are hard to compare
Daily and weekly quotas are harder to compare than a flat price, and extra usage is billed at API pricing.
No official rename date found
We could not confirm when the rename happened.
Many features are only names
Fusion, Fast Context and others are named but not explained in what we read.
Privacy, data handling and security
The pricing blog lists automated zero data retention for Teams. We did not read the privacy policy, the security pages or the terms, so we cannot say what happens to data on Free and Pro, or whether prompts are used for training.
The integrations listed connect the editor to company tools, so each one deserves a security review. Our guide on protecting company data when using AI tools lists questions to ask.
How Windsurf compares
Devin Desktop sits beside Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Replit. See our three way comparison, and the guides to Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Replit.
The table compares only what we read on each vendor’s pages, and usage is measured differently, so it is not a ranking.
| Tool | Entry paid price we read | How usage is measured |
|---|---|---|
| Windsurf (now Devin Desktop) | Pro at $20 a month | Quotas that refresh daily and weekly |
| Cursor | Plus at $8 a month | Usage pool shared with Grok |
| GitHub Copilot | Pro at $10 per user a month | Unlimited completions, chat uses AI credits |
| Replit | Core with $20 in monthly credits | Credits, with Agent allowances |

Getting started
A careful way to try Devin Desktop:
- Open devin.ai/desktop and note the plan names and prices on the day you decide.
- Check that your operating system is supported on the download page.
- Start on Free and use it on a project that holds no sensitive code.
- Watch how quickly the daily and weekly quotas are used.
- Read the privacy and security pages before you connect integrations.
- Move to Pro only if you reach the limits, and ask about Teams pricing if you need it.

Conclusion
Windsurf is now Devin Desktop, and the vendor says plan, pricing, extensions and settings carry over. The product pages describe an editor with agents, Spaces, a Kanban view, integrations and a plan ladder from Free to Max.
The unresolved items are the rename date, the two Teams prices and the privacy terms. Try the free plan, watch quota use and confirm prices with the vendor. Our guides on checking AI output for mistakes and choosing an AI tool help with the next steps.
When a product changes its name, a few habits protect you. Search for both names when you read reviews, and check the date of every price you see, because a figure from before the rename may no longer apply. Keep a screenshot or note of the plan page on the day you buy. If you are on an old Windsurf plan, ask the vendor in writing how your plan maps to the new names, since the page says plans carry over but does not list each case. For a team purchase, ask for the Teams price in writing as well, given that the two official pages we read disagree.
It also helps to separate the editor from the agents when you evaluate. The editor is the place you type and review code, and it can be judged on speed, extensions and settings. The agents are the part that plans and edits across files, and they should be judged on how often their changes need correcting. A short trial on a real but low risk task, with a clear note of how many corrections you made, will tell you more than any list of feature names, and it fits the method in our guide to comparing AI tools fairly.
Finally, remember that quota based plans are designed around typical use. If you work in long bursts, check how the daily and weekly limits interact, because a limit that refreshes daily can still leave you stuck for part of a working day. The vendor blog gives estimated messages per day, and you should compare those ranges with your own habits before choosing between Pro and Max, rather than assuming that a higher price always means a better fit.
A short checklist can keep a purchase grounded. First, confirm the name and plan on the vendor page on the day you buy, because the product changed its name and may change plan details again. Second, write down which features you actually need from the list: the editor itself, multi agent management, cloud handoff, code review, or the integrations. Third, decide which integrations you are prepared to connect, since each one gives the tool a route to data in another system. Fourth, work out whether you need individual or team billing, and if team, get the Teams price in writing. Fifth, run a trial on a task where mistakes are cheap, and record how long the agents took and how many of their changes you kept.
Teams that already use another editor should also plan for switching costs. Because Devin Desktop is built on the Windsurf IDE, extensions and settings carry over for existing users, but people coming from a different editor may need to rebuild their setup. The vendor page lists a JetBrains option for those who prefer that environment, which may reduce the switching cost for some groups. None of this replaces a short pilot with a few developers, and the results of that pilot are more useful than any comparison table we can offer from public pages alone.
Lastly, keep expectations modest about what public pages can tell you. They describe features and prices, and they show how the vendor wants to be understood. They do not show reliability, speed or how often an agent gets things wrong. For those, you need your own trial, ideally with a colleague reviewing the output, and a willingness to switch tools if the results are poor.
One more point concerns record keeping. Because plans, names and quotas have all moved during 2026, keep a dated copy of the plan page you relied on when you bought. If a later invoice or limit does not match what you expected, that copy lets you ask the vendor a precise question instead of a vague one, and it makes it easier to compare what changed between one month and the next.
