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.
FreemiumReplit offers four tiers, with paid plans discounted for annual billing. Starter is free and includes daily free Agent credits, a built-in database, the ability to create slides and videos, and publishing for 1 project (private or password-protected deployments included). Replit Core costs $20/month billed annually and adds $25 of monthly credits, up to 5 collaborators, 2 parallel agents, unlimited workspaces, publishing in any region, and removal of the "Made with Replit" badge. Replit Pro costs $100/month billed monthly or $95/month billed annually, and includes $100 of monthly credits, up to 15 collaborators and 50 viewers, 10 parallel agents, access to the most powerful AI models, and 28-day database rollbacks. Enterprise uses custom pricing and adds custom seat limits, SSO/SAML, advanced privacy controls, design system support, single-tenant environments, static outbound IPs, and VPC peering, available by contacting sales.

Codeium

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
Replit

Replit Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Genuinely free tier with daily Agent credits and a built-in database, no credit card required to start
  • Zero local setup: authentication, database, hosting, and monitoring are included on every plan
  • Agent 4's Parallel Agents and Infinite Canvas make it fast to go from idea to a working, designed app
  • Broad ecosystem of 100+ integrations connects apps to services like Stripe and Google Workspace in minutes
  • Backed by major funding ($400M at a $9B valuation) and adopted by 85% of Fortune 500 companies for internal tools

Cons

  • Credit-based usage on paid plans means costs can climb quickly for heavy Agent use beyond the included monthly allotment
  • Free Starter plan is limited to publishing 1 project, restricting it mostly to testing and learning
  • Best experience is within Replit's own hosted environment, which can feel restrictive for teams wanting full infrastructure control
  • Access to the most powerful AI models is reserved for the $100/month Pro tier and above
