Pricing
FreemiumQodo uses a credit-based pricing model at $0.012 per credit, pooled across the team with no rate limits. The Pro Team plan is available with credit packs: 2,500 credits (~18 reviews/month), 5,000 credits (~36 reviews/month), and 20,000 credits (~144 reviews/month). There is no annual commitment on the Pro Team plan and a 14-day free trial is available with no credit card required. Additional credits can be purchased anytime. Enterprise pricing is custom and includes everything in Pro Team plus SSO/SAML, audit logs, BYOK (bring your own LLM keys), single-tenant SaaS, on-premises/air-gapped deployment, advanced governance analytics, advanced self-learning rules, Gerrit support, custom agentic workflows, dedicated CSM, priority support SLAs, and MSA/DPA commercial agreements. Open-source projects get free access to Qodo's hosted PR review. The open-source Qodo Merge (formerly PR-Agent) is freely self-hostable. There is no permanent free commercial tier for teams.
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.

Qodo

Qodo Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Only platform purpose-built for governing AI-generated code — designed from the ground up for the agent-first era of software development
  • Self-learning rules system turns organizational knowledge into enforceable, machine-readable standards that every agent and developer follows
  • Open-source PR-Agent foundation with 14,000+ GitHub stars — transparent, community-audited, and self-hostable
  • Supports all four major Git platforms — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps, plus Gerrit (Enterprise)
  • Recognized by Gartner as a Visionary in AI-Augmented Development in September 2025, and cited by NVIDIA and Anthropic
  • Zero data retention by default — code is analyzed and discarded, never stored, logged, or used to train models

Cons

  • Credit-based pricing can be unpredictable for heavy users — large PRs and complex codebases consume more credits per review
  • No free permanent tier for teams — only a 14-day trial and free access for open-source projects
  • Primarily focused on code review and quality governance — not a full IDE coding assistant or autocomplete replacement like Cursor or Copilot
  • Enterprise features (SSO, BYOK, on-prem, advanced analytics) require a sales conversation for custom pricing
  • Can generate noisy reviews on very large PRs if context tuning is not configured — rules system setup requires initial investment
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
