Pricing
FreemiumCodeium launched with a genuinely free tier for individual developers — unlimited code completions, chat, and search across 70+ languages and 40+ IDEs with no time limit or credit cap. Enterprise plans (custom pricing) added on-premises deployment, SOC 2 compliance, SSO, and zero code retention. After launching the Windsurf Editor in November 2024, the company introduced paid tiers: Free ($0) with unlimited Tab autocomplete and a light agent quota; Pro ($15/month, later raised to $20/month in March 2026) with full model access, standard refreshing agent quota, and Cascade; Teams ($30/user/month); and Enterprise ($60/user/month) with SSO, 1,000 prompt credits, and enhanced security. Following Cognition AI's acquisition and the June 2026 rebrand to Devin Desktop, pricing is now managed under Cognition's Devin plan structure: Free ($0), Pro ($20/month), Max ($200/month), Teams ($80/month + $40/seat), and Enterprise (custom). The codeium.com/pricing URL now redirects to devin.ai/pricing.
FreemiumDevv AI offers a Freemium model. The free tier provides access to Devv Fast models, core search functionality, and a limited number of daily searches without requiring a credit card. Users can get started immediately and experience the platform before upgrading. Devv Pro (previously reported at approximately $10-17/month billed annually) adds access to the most powerful models including Claude Sonnet, OpenAI o1 series, and custom models via OpenRouter integration, plus unlimited search, search history, Devv Playground, and priority access to new features. Open-source contributors receive a permanent 20% discount on Pro subscriptions. Devv 2.0 (the AI App Builder platform) follows a similar freemium structure: free to start building your first AI product, with paid plans unlocking more projects, increased compute, advanced integrations, and additional native backend capabilities. Exact current pricing tiers for Devv 2.0 are available on the Devv.ai pricing page as the platform continues to evolve.

Codeium Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Genuinely unlimited free tier for individual developers — no credit limits or trial expiry
  • Broadest IDE coverage of any AI coding tool with 40+ editor integrations at launch
  • Rapid iteration: went from plugin to agentic IDE and $100M ARR in under 3 years
  • Enterprise-grade security with on-prem/VPC deployment, SOC 2, and zero code retention options
  • Cascade/Windsurf Editor introduced flow-aware multi-file agentic coding before competitors
  • Backed by top-tier investors and reached $1.25B unicorn valuation in just 2 years

Cons

  • Rebranded twice (Codeium → Windsurf → Devin Desktop) creating confusion and instability for users
  • Original Codeium extension identity sunset — codeium.com now redirects to Devin/Cognition
  • Pro pricing rose from $15 to $20/month in March 2026, removing its budget pricing edge over Cursor
  • Cascade agent fully retired July 1, 2026 — replaced by Devin Local under new ownership
  • Heavy agentic workflows require Pro plan; free tier agent quota is limited
  • Brand owned by Cognition AI (Devin), not the original Codeium/Windsurf founding team
Devv AI

Devv AI Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Developer-built for developers — solves real workflow problems the founders experienced themselves
  • Unique vertical search index combining Stack Overflow, GitHub, DevDocs, and official docs for highly relevant technical answers
  • GitHub Mode enables codebase-aware AI search without manually copying code into a chat — a genuine time-saver for open-source contributors
  • Devv 2.0 includes native integrations for LLMs, auth, databases, image gen, and email out-of-the-box — no glue code needed
  • 700,000+ developers trust the platform, with multilingual support (English, Japanese, Chinese)
  • OpenRouter integration unlocks hundreds of AI models for maximum flexibility in the app builder

Cons

  • Small team (~3-6 employees) and bootstrapped — less resources for rapid feature development compared to well-funded competitors
  • Pivoted from AI search to AI app builder (Devv 2.0) in 2025 — some existing users seeking the original search experience may find transition jarring
  • No dedicated VS Code extension or IDE plugin unlike some competitors
  • Limited public information on pricing tiers and usage limits for the new AI app builder platform
  • Smaller community and ecosystem compared to more established tools like Cursor or Bolt.new
