Who it's for
Developers who want a full AI-native IDE with unlimited autocomplete plus flexible access to multiple top-tier LLMs, and who are open to Devin's autonomous agent capabilities as Cognition integrates them post-acquisition.
Who it's not for
Users wary of platform instability should be cautious, since Windsurf's 2026 rebrand/merge into Devin Desktop and its March 2026 pricing overhaul (credits to quotas) signal ongoing product and pricing change.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Light daily quota to code with agents, limited model availability, unlimited Tab completions and inline edits. |
| Pro | $20/mo | Increased usage quotas, full model access (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini), free use of the proprietary SWE-1.5 model, cloud agent sessions. |
| Max | $200/mo | Everything in Pro with significantly higher usage quotas. |
| Teams | $80/mo + $40/mo per seat | Unlimited team members, centralized billing and admin dashboard, priority support. |
| Enterprise | Custom | Dedicated account management, SAML/OIDC SSO, optional VPC deployment. |
Pros
