Windsurf is the legacy name for Devin Desktop. Cognition’s June 2, 2026 transition unified the former Windsurf IDE under the Devin brand: same editor and core Cascade workflow, now positioned as Devin Desktop alongside Devin Cloud, Devin CLI, and Devin Review. Use this archived page for historical Windsurf comparisons; current buyers should evaluate Devin Desktop via Devin.

We have a review for this tool

A detailed review by the aicoolies team — click to read

Windsurf is now a legacy brand page for Devin Desktop rather than a separate active IDE surface. Cognition’s official transition FAQ says that on June 2, 2026, Windsurf became Devin Desktop: the same IDE, editor, and core features were unified under the Devin brand instead of removed as a product.

The old Windsurf and Codeium Windsurf routes now redirect to Devin Desktop, while the current documentation tree lives under Devin Desktop. Cascade, autocomplete, context awareness, workflows, terminal integration, and the familiar editor experience continue, but buyers should evaluate them through Devin Desktop and Devin plan documentation rather than old Windsurf-era pages.

Keep this page as historical context for older Windsurf comparisons, reviews, and stacks. It should not be used as a current standalone recommendation; use the active Devin record for current Cognition product coverage across Devin Cloud, Devin Desktop, Devin CLI, and Devin Review.

Pricing

Legacy Windsurf pricing; current Devin Desktop pricing is handled through Devin plans.

Platforms

Legacy Windsurf IDE; current surface is Devin Desktop for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Why it died

Windsurf became Devin Desktop on 2026-06-02. Official Windsurf and Codeium Windsurf URLs now redirect to Devin Desktop, while the active product surface continues under the Devin brand.

Comparisons

Codeium vs Windsurf — Legacy Extension vs Agentic IDE

Codeium and Windsurf share a founding team and codebase history, but they no longer describe the same product. Codeium is the legacy extension and plugin layer — the autocomplete tool that worked inside your existing editor. Windsurf is its successor: a standalone VS Code-fork IDE with a built-in agentic layer called Cascade, its own model infrastructure, and a fundamentally different product vision. If you're evaluating these two today, you're not choosing between two flavors of the same thing — you're choosing whether to stay with an extension workflow or adopt a new editor.

GitHub Copilot vs Windsurf — AI-Native IDE or Multi-Platform Assistant?

GitHub Copilot and Windsurf represent two distinct approaches to AI-assisted coding. Copilot integrates across multiple editors as a versatile coding companion backed by GitHub's ecosystem, while Windsurf — now part of Cognition (the team behind Devin) — offers a dedicated AI-native IDE with deep agentic capabilities. This comparison breaks down their features, pricing, and ideal use cases to help you choose the right tool for your workflow.

Lovable vs Windsurf — No-Code AI App Builder vs AI-Enhanced Professional IDE

Lovable generates complete applications from natural language descriptions with visual editing for non-developers. Windsurf provides an AI-native IDE with Cascade flows, inline completions, and deep codebase understanding for professional developers. Lovable wins for rapid no-code prototyping while Windsurf wins for professional AI-assisted development.

Claude Code vs Windsurf — Terminal Agent vs AI IDE for Agentic Development

Claude Code and Windsurf represent two radically different paradigms for AI-assisted development: Claude Code is a terminal-native agent from Anthropic that operates through your command line with full system access, while Windsurf is a visual AI IDE with an integrated Cascade agent. The choice reflects a deeper question about developer workflow — do you want an AI that works in your terminal with deep reasoning, or one that works in your editor with visual feedback and speed?
