Full review notes Long-form details, FAQ, and source history
Codeium was the AI code completion brand that shipped plugin-based autocomplete across many editors from 2022 to 2025. The current buyer path is no longer Codeium. It is Codeium -> Windsurf -> Devin Desktop.
As of the June 24, 2026 check, windsurf.com/pricing still routes into Devin pricing, the current public Devin Desktop changelog is in the v2.3 line, and the live docs spell out quota, migration, model, and enterprise-admin details that are too material to treat the change as a simple rename. This page stays live because people still search for Codeium, but the recommendation is historical and navigational: use it to understand the lineage, then evaluate Windsurf / Devin Desktop or GitHub Copilot as current products.
Recent Developments
- June 24, 2026: Rechecked Devin pricing, Devin Desktop FAQ, model docs, quota docs, and changelog. The current public changelog top release is v2.3.9, with fixes for
swe-checkavailability, terminal processing, conversation sharing, and WSL Devin Local path resolution. The current buyer path remains Devin Desktop, not Codeium. - June 18, 2026: Devin Desktop releases had moved beyond the initial rebrand. The migration surface is procurement-relevant because Devin Local, rules, endpoint names, and enterprise allowlists can affect rollout.
- June 18, 2026: Current Devin pricing still listed Free, Pro $20/month, Max $200/month, Team $80/month plus $40/month per full user, and Enterprise custom. The important change was the clearer cost model: paid plans have daily and weekly quota allowances, Pro includes free SWE-1.6 and open-source models, and extra usage is billed at API pricing.
- June 18, 2026: The Devin Desktop FAQ now makes the migration surface procurement-relevant: plans and pricing do not automatically change for existing Windsurf users, Devin Local replaces Cascade, Cascade remains available through July, Windsurf rules continue to work,
.devin/rules/is preferred, AGENTS.md is supported, and enterprise admins need to review endpoint, allowlist, and command-name changes. - June 2, 2026: Cognition announced Devin Desktop as the next generation of Windsurf. The product keeps Windsurf/VS Code compatibility while making Agent Command Center, Spaces, ACP-compatible agents, Devin Local, Devin Cloud, Devin CLI, and Devin Review part of one product story.
- July 2025: Cognition announced its Windsurf acquisition. Codeium-era buyer research should now be read through the Cognition/Devin roadmap.
System Verdict
There is no Codeium-brand product to buy in 2026. Anyone searching for Codeium should treat the page as a migration and history guide, then evaluate Windsurf / Devin Desktop for the current Cognition-stack IDE or GitHub Copilot for GitHub-native IDE assistance.
Old Windsurf-only pricing is now stale too. The current public pricing path routes into Devin: Free, Pro $20/month, Max $200/month, Teams from $80/month plus full-dev-seat add-ons, Enterprise custom, and paid-plan extra usage at API pricing.
The useful decision: choose Devin Desktop when Cognition’s agent stack is the point. Choose Copilot when existing editors, GitHub policy, pull requests, and AI Credits governance are the point.
Key Facts
| Current brand structure | Codeium search intent routes to Windsurf / Devin Desktop context |
| Current product path | Windsurf is now publicly presented as Devin Desktop |
| Parent company | Cognition AI |
| Codeium role | Historical autocomplete brand, not a separate checkout |
| Current public pricing route | windsurf.com/pricing -> devin.ai/pricing |
| Individual pricing | Free, Pro $20/month, Max $200/month |
| Team pricing | Team $80/month plus $40/month per full user |
| Enterprise | Custom, with SAML/OIDC SSO, centralized controls, deployment/support options |
| Current usage model | Daily and weekly quota allowances; paid plans can buy extra usage at API pricing |
| Current model lane | SWE-1.6 is generally available, Pro includes free SWE-1.6 and leading open-source model use, and paid users can access frontier OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini models |
| Current agent surface | Devin Desktop with Agent Command Center, Spaces, ACP support, Devin Local, Devin Cloud, Devin CLI, Devin Review, and active v2.3 public changelog updates |
| Migration/admin risk | Existing subscriptions may have grandfathered pricing or quotas; admins should review endpoint names, allowlists, rules, command names, and Devin Local permissions |
| Main risk | Brand churn: old Codeium and old standalone Windsurf claims are stale, and old Cascade/plugin guidance can miss current Devin Local behavior |
Every data point above was verified against current Cognition, Devin, and Windsurf sources on 2026-06-24.
What it actually is
One lineage, three names:
Codeium was the original autocomplete and IDE-plugin brand. It is the search term many developers remember.
Windsurf was the AI-native IDE brand that absorbed Codeium-era autocomplete and expanded into agentic editing.
Devin Desktop is the current public direction. Cognition says it built Devin Desktop on Windsurf’s IDE foundation, made Agent Command Center the default surface, added Spaces for shared context, supports Agent Client Protocol so compatible third-party agents can run inside the editor, and keeps the editor, extensions, keybindings, language servers, terminal, and workflows backwards-compatible with Windsurf. The June 24 docs add buyer-useful detail: Devin Local is the Cascade successor, the app keeps compatibility with legacy Windsurf paths during migration, and the current public changelog is fixing reliability, WSL pathing, terminal processing, and model-availability issues around local agents.
That means a buyer should not ask, “Should I buy Codeium?” The current questions are:
- Do you want Cognition’s Devin Desktop path?
- Do you want a cleaner standalone AI IDE such as Cursor?
- Do you want GitHub-native Copilot inside existing editors?
When The Codeium Lineage Is Still The Right Call
- You are cleaning up old tool references. Replace “Codeium” with “Windsurf / Devin Desktop” unless the page is historical.
- You are an existing Codeium/Windsurf user. Check the Devin Desktop migration path, grandfathered quota terms, command names, rules, and endpoint policies before switching away.
- You want Cognition’s stack. Devin Desktop makes more sense when Devin Cloud, Devin Local, SWE-1.6, ACP, and agent management are in scope.
- You are comparing old Codeium reviews to current Copilot. The live comparison should be Devin Desktop versus Copilot, not Codeium Pro versus Copilot Pro.
When To Pick Something Else
- GitHub-native coding: GitHub Copilot is cleaner when the team wants existing IDEs, GitHub PRs/issues, policy controls, and AI Credits budgeting.
- Standalone AI-native IDE: Cursor is easier to evaluate if you do not want Cognition/Devin packaging.
- Open-source BYOK agent: Cline or Continue is better when source control and local provider choice matter.
- Terminal coding agent: Claude Code or Codex is better when the workflow starts from a repo and command line.
Pricing
All current public pricing flows through the Windsurf-to-Devin pricing path. Historical Codeium standalone plans and older Windsurf plan screenshots are no longer reliable.
| Plan | Price | Scope | Who’s it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Light quota, limited model availability, unlimited inline edits and Tab completions | Trying Devin Desktop before paying |
| Pro | $20/month | Increased quotas, OpenAI/Claude/Gemini frontier models, free SWE-1.6 and leading open-source models, cloud agents, extra usage at API pricing | Most individual users evaluating Cognition’s IDE |
| Max | $200/month | Significantly higher quotas | Heavy individual use |
| Team | $80/month base plus $40/month per full user | Team plan plus full users and shared controls | Teams that need admin and collaboration |
| Enterprise | Custom | SSO/OIDC, centralized admin, deployment/support options | Regulated or large enterprises |
Prices verified 2026-06-24 via Devin pricing, the Devin Desktop quota docs, and the Devin Desktop FAQ. Existing account entitlements may differ because older Pro and Team subscribers can have grandfathered pricing and quota terms, so enterprise and grandfathered buyers should verify inside the live admin console.
The most important cost change since the earlier write is not a new headline price. It is the quota and extra-usage model. Devin Desktop plans now describe daily and weekly usage allowances, model-token-based quota burn, free models that do not count against quota, and extra usage for Pro, Teams, and Max after the included allowance is exhausted.
Against the alternatives
| Codeium lineage | Devin Desktop | GitHub Copilot | Cursor | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best viewed as | Historical brand/search intent | Cognition-stack IDE and agent manager | GitHub-native AI platform | Standalone AI-native IDE |
| Pricing anchor | No separate Codeium checkout | Free / Pro $20 / Max $200 / Teams from $80 plus seats | Free / Pro $10 / Pro+ $39 / Max $100 / Business $19 / Enterprise $39 | Current Cursor pricing |
| Primary job | Understand migration path | Manage local and cloud agents in an IDE | Existing-editor help, PRs, policy, SDK, AI Credits | Daily implementation inside an AI-native editor |
| Main risk | Stale old reviews | Rebrand, quota, local-agent permission, and migration-policy churn | Usage-based AI Credits for heavy agent work | Editor migration and usage limits |
Failure modes
- Brand confusion. Codeium, Windsurf, and Devin Desktop may all appear in search results. Explain the lineage before recommending a product.
- Old pricing is stale. Do not quote Codeium Teams $12, old Windsurf Pro $15, or old standalone Windsurf Teams $40/user/month without checking the current Devin pricing path.
- The current decision is not pure autocomplete. Devin Desktop is about agent management, Devin Local, model routing, IDE/cloud-agent handoff, and local-agent permission policy. Copilot is about GitHub-native governance and existing editor coverage.
- Existing subscribers may see different entitlements. Public pages give the buyer baseline; account consoles and enterprise contracts decide exact quotas.
- Enterprise migration is operational. Endpoint security, device management, allowlists, update hostnames, remote-development hostnames, rules directories, and the
devin-desktopcommand can matter as much as the pricing card. - Indexed docs can lag. Validate current docs and pricing pages before procurement.

FAQ
Is Codeium the same as Windsurf? It is the historical lineage, not a current separate product. Codeium became Windsurf, and Windsurf is now publicly presented as Devin Desktop.
Is Codeium still free? There is no separate Codeium Free plan. The current public path includes a Devin Desktop Free tier for light use, plus paid Devin pricing.
What changed with the Cognition acquisition? Cognition consolidated the product direction around Devin and Windsurf. The June 2026 public path is Devin Desktop: Windsurf’s IDE foundation plus Agent Command Center, Spaces, ACP support, Devin Local, Devin Cloud, Devin CLI, and Devin Review. Since the previous write, the practical update is clearer migration detail, v2.3 public changelog fixes, SWE-1.6 availability, quota-based usage, and enterprise allowlist/device-policy guidance.
Codeium-lineage plugins vs GitHub Copilot? Copilot is the cleaner current choice for GitHub-native teams that want policy, PRs, existing IDEs, and AI Credits controls. The Codeium lineage now means evaluating Devin Desktop for Cognition-stack agent management.
Should I choose Codeium or GitHub Copilot? Do not choose Codeium as a product. Choose Devin Desktop if you want Cognition’s current IDE/agent path; choose Copilot if GitHub-native workflow is the reason to buy.
