Pricing
FreemiumWarp uses a credit-based Freemium model with five tiers. The Free tier ($0) includes the full Warp Terminal, Warp Agent CLI access, limited cloud agent sessions, pay-as-you-go credit reloads, and the ability to bring your own AI inference keys. Build ($20/month, $18 annually) includes 1,500 credits ($20 of agent usage at API rates), full model access (Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6, Gemini, Fable 5, and more), highest codebase indexing limits, unlimited Warp Drive objects, unlimited cloud conversation storage, auto-reload with team-wide spend caps, and private email support. Max ($200/month, $180 annually) provides 18,000 credits — 12x Build's included usage — for high-volume individual developers. Business ($50/user/month, $45 annually) adds per-seat included credits for up to 25 seats, team usage metrics, admin-configurable data controls, BYOK (bring your own API keys), and SAML SSO. Enterprise is custom-priced and adds unlimited seats, custom shared credit pools, advanced spend controls, enterprise admin and data governance, BYOLLM (route inference through your own cloud at no credit cost), self-hosted cloud agents on customer infrastructure, custom codebase indexing, cross-harness agent memory, Enterprise Analytics API, a dedicated account manager, shared Slack channel, and white-glove onboarding with an implementation engineer. Warp Factories usage is included in Build/Max/Business plans or available pay-as-you-go at API rates + 20%.
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.

Warp Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Unique market position — the only platform that combines a modern terminal, standalone agent CLI, and cloud SDLC factory infrastructure in one coherent product
  • 718,000+ active developers and 51% Fortune 500 adoption with trust signals from OpenAI, Anthropic, Docker, Google, GitHub, NVIDIA, and Stripe
  • Open-source terminal (64K+ GitHub stars) with block-based interface that treats commands as first-class objects — groupable, searchable, shareable, and navigable
  • Uniquely supports running multiple third-party agents simultaneously — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Warp Agent all side-by-side
  • Adding ~$1M ARR per week as of early 2026 — one of the fastest-growing developer tool companies
  • SOC 2 certified with Zero Data Retention across all contracted LLM providers and enterprise BYOLLM for full inference control

Cons

  • Warp Factories still in Early Access — full enterprise availability and pricing not yet finalized
  • Business plan capped at 25 seats — teams larger than 25 must contact Enterprise sales
  • Credit-based pricing can be unpredictable for heavy agentic workloads; complex tasks consume more credits than simple completions
  • Terminal purists may dislike the proprietary Rust UI layer vs. a standard PTY — some legacy TUI apps have compatibility quirks
  • Not an IDE — pairs best with an editor like VS Code or Cursor rather than replacing one; not a standalone coding environment
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
