Pricing
FreemiumSupermaven operated a Freemium model during its active life (Feb 2024 – Nov 2025). The Free tier provided fast inline code completions with a 300,000-token context window, compatible with VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and Neovim — with no trial expiry.
Pro was priced at $10/month (or $99/year), unlocking the 1 million token context window, access to Supermaven's largest Babble model, coding style adaptation, and $5/month in Supermaven Chat credits with a 30-day free trial. Team plans were also $10/user/month and added centralized billing and user management for companies.
Supermaven was acquired by Cursor in November 2024. All paying subscribers were fully refunded in November 2025 when the standalone product was sunset. Free autocomplete inference was extended for existing Neovim and JetBrains users as a courtesy. The product is no longer available for new signups — Cursor is the recommended migration path.
FreemiumDevin Desktop, formerly Windsurf, offers a Free plan at $0/month with unlimited access to Cognition's SWE-1.6 coding model and limited Cascade/Devin Local flow actions. The Pro plan costs $20/month and is the most popular tier, unlocking higher usage limits and access to premium models like Claude and GPT. A Max plan is available at $200/month for heavier usage. Teams pricing is $80/month as a base fee plus $40/month per full seat. Enterprise pricing is custom and includes SOC 2 Type II certification, SSO integration, audit logging, centralized admin controls, and a self-hosted inference option for HIPAA, FedRAMP, or CMMC compliance needs. Existing Windsurf subscribers kept their original plan pricing unchanged after the June 2026 rebrand to Devin Desktop.

Summary
The fastest AI copilot with a 1 million token context window
The AI-native code editor from Codeium, now Devin Desktop by Cognition AI
Supermaven Pros & Cons
Pros
- Fastest inline code completions of any tool at launch — sub-250ms latency beats Copilot by 3x
- 1 million token context window gives it codebase-wide awareness without slow retrieval
- Generous always-free tier with no expiry for solo developers
- Founded by Tabnine creator — deep domain expertise in efficient code completion models
- Lightweight extension model — no new IDE required, works inside existing editors
- Coding style learning personalizes suggestions over time
Cons
- Product sunset in November 2025 after Cursor acquisition — no longer available for new signups
- No agentic or multi-file editing capabilities (completions and chat only)
- Chat credits limited on Pro tier ($5/month) with overage charges
- Extension API limitations in VS Code/JetBrains constrained more advanced features
- 7-day code data retention limit on free tier raised some privacy concerns for teams
Windsurf (Devin Desktop) Pros & Cons
Pros
- Free tier gives genuinely useful daily coding assistance without a credit card
- Agent Command Center lets developers manage local and cloud AI agents from one unified view
- Agent Client Protocol support means it works alongside Claude Code, Codex, and other third-party agents
- Devin Local is a faster, more token-efficient successor to Cascade, up to 30% more efficient
- Backed by Cognition AI's broader Devin platform, giving a clear path from local edits to full cloud delegation
Cons
- Cascade, the local agent that defined Windsurf's identity, is being fully retired and replaced by Devin Local as of July 1, 2026
- The rebrand and ownership change (Codeium to Cognition AI) has caused confusion for long-time users about what changed
- Model access is managed through Cognition's infrastructure rather than allowing bring-your-own-key configuration like some competitors
- Cloud-based processing sends code context to Cognition's servers, which may not meet CMMC, HIPAA, or FedRAMP requirements without the enterprise self-hosted option
- Heavier agentic use requires the Pro plan or above; the free tier is best suited for individual, lighter usage
