Checked September 26, 2026. USD, excluding tax. Based on published pricing pages, not a hands-on coding benchmark. Jet Admin publishes this comparison and competes with neither product.
This comparison has a complication that no feature table will surface. As of September 26, 2026, windsurf.com/pricing issues a permanent redirect to devin.ai/pricing, and Windsurf is not named anywhere on that page.
Cursor, by contrast, is straightforward: a standalone agentic IDE from Anysphere with published plans from free to enterprise. So the first task is not comparing features — it is establishing what the Windsurf side of this comparison currently is.
What we observed
Cognition, the company behind the Devin agent, acquired Windsurf in 2025. The redirect is consistent with Windsurf's commercial pages having been merged into Devin's. What a redirect cannot tell us is whether the Windsurf editor continues as a separate product, is being absorbed, or is being wound down.
One hint on the Devin page: its free tier advertises "unlimited inline edits" and "unlimited Tab completions" — capabilities closely associated with the Windsurf editor. That is suggestive, not conclusive.
Before choosing: ask Cognition whether Windsurf is still sold and supported standalone, what happens to existing subscriptions, and what the roadmap is. Any comparison written before this change is describing a commercial arrangement that no longer holds.
How they price today
| Cursor | Devin (where Windsurf pricing now points) | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Hobby — no card, limited Agent requests, Composer | $0 — light quota, limited models, unlimited inline edits and Tab completions |
| Entry paid plan | Individual $20/month | Pro $20/month |
| High tier | Individual splits into Pro, Pro+, Ultra | Max $200/month |
| Team pricing | Teams $40/user/month | $80/month plus $40/month per full dev seat, up to 200 users |
| Enterprise | Custom — pooled usage, SCIM, audit logs, access controls | "Let's talk" |
| Metering | Included model usage, then on-demand billed in arrears | Cost per message varies by model, task size and reasoning required |
| Extra usage | On-demand, billed in arrears | Purchasable, consumed at API pricing |

Where the money actually differs
Individually they are level — $20 a month each at the entry tier, with free tiers on both that allow real work.
For teams the structures diverge sharply. Cursor charges a flat $40 per user. Devin charges a base $80 a month plus $40 per full dev seat. At ten developers that is $400 on Cursor against $480 on Devin's structure — close, but the base fee means Devin is proportionally more expensive for small teams and the gap narrows as you grow. Confirm what a "full dev seat" covers before treating either figure as final.
At the top end, Devin publishes a $200 Max tier while Cursor keeps its heaviest individual usage inside the Individual plan's Pro/Pro+/Ultra split and reserves pooled usage for Enterprise.
What Cursor offers that is clearly documented
Because Cursor's product situation is stable, its feature set is easier to evaluate: Composer, MCPs, skills and hooks, cloud agents, and Bugbot for agentic code review on usage-based billing. Teams adds a marketplace for internal rules and plugins, shared-context cloud agents, usage analytics, team-wide privacy mode and SAML/OIDC SSO. Enterprise adds pooled usage, invoice/PO billing, SCIM, repository and model access controls, audit logs and an AI code tracking API.
That published depth is itself a point in Cursor's favour right now — not because the product is necessarily better, but because you can evaluate it against your requirements with confidence about what you are buying.
Which should you choose?
Choose Cursor if you want a product whose commercial status is unambiguous, if you need documented team governance, or if its agent workflow suits you. For a team making a multi-year tooling decision today, that certainty carries real weight.
Consider Devin if an autonomous agent rather than an in-editor assistant is what you actually want, and if its free tier and metering suit you. Go in knowing you are buying Devin, not Windsurf.
Do not choose Windsurf on the basis of an old review. Establish its current status first. That is the single most valuable thing you can do before spending anything.
Where Jet Admin fits
Neither is an alternative to Jet Admin. Both produce code a developer reviews and maintains; Jet Admin builds a running application over a database or API you already have, with no codebase to own.
The narrow overlap is internal tooling — admin panels, back-office queues, operations dashboards — where the useful question is whether the output needs to be code at all. For product work, both tools do something an application platform does not attempt.
Frequently asked questions
Is Windsurf still a separate product?
Its pricing page redirects to devin.ai and Windsurf is not named there. We could not establish its standalone status from public pages — confirm with Cognition directly.
Which is cheaper for one developer?
They are level at $20 a month, and both have free tiers that allow genuine work.
Which is cheaper for a team of ten?
Cursor Teams at $40 a user is $400 a month. Devin's structure — $80 base plus $40 per full dev seat — is $480. Confirm seat definitions before relying on either figure.
Do both have free plans?
Yes. Cursor's Hobby plan needs no card; Devin's free tier includes a light quota with unlimited inline edits and Tab completions.
Which has better team controls?
Cursor publishes more detail — SAML/OIDC SSO on Teams, and pooled usage, SCIM, access controls and audit logs on Enterprise. Ask Cognition for the equivalent.
Do I have to change editors for either?
Cursor is its own IDE, so yes. Devin offers a desktop app and CLI alongside cloud agents; confirm how it fits your current editor.
Establish the product, then price it
Ordinarily this section would recommend a spreadsheet. Here the first step is a question to a vendor: what is Windsurf today, and what happens to it? Until that is answered, any cost comparison rests on an assumption rather than a fact.
If the work you keep pointing an agent at is an internal tool on data you already have, build that one in Jet Admin and compare it against the code either tool leaves you to maintain.
