Update, June 2026: Windsurf is now Devin Desktop, sold by Cognition. Existing installs updated in place; plan names and prices on this page follow the Devin lineup (Devin Pro at $20/month, Devin Max at $200/month, Devin Teams from $80/month plus $40 per full seat). The Cascade agent was replaced by Devin Local.
Quick Verdict
Cursor Pro and Devin Pro are the two leading AI-first coding subscriptions for individual developers. Cursor Pro costs $20/month and bills usage in dollar terms. Devin Pro costs $20/month and bills usage against a daily and weekly agent quota. The two plans sit at the same monthly price, so the choice comes down to model breadth versus IDE-native agent integration. If you want broader model choice and usage-based flexibility, Cursor Pro wins. If you want a purpose-built coding agent with frontier model access bundled in, Devin Pro wins.
Pricing
- Cursor Pro: $20/month or $16/month on annual billing. The annual plan saves $48/year.
- Devin Pro: $20/month. Annual billing is not publicly listed, monthly-only pricing applies. Developers who subscribed to Windsurf Pro before the Devin Desktop rebrand keep a grandfathered $15/month rate.
Cursor Pro and Devin Pro are priced the same at the monthly rate. Cursor Pro’s annual option brings it down to $16/month, giving Cursor the edge for users willing to commit for a year.
Model Access
- Cursor Pro gives access to the full frontier-model catalog: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and xAI models on eligible providers. This includes Claude Sonnet 4, Claude Opus 4, OpenAI o3-pro, GPT-4.1, and Gemini 2.5 Pro as examples of available models.
- Devin Pro offers access to Devin’s own SWE 1.7 model alongside premium frontier models from Claude, GPT, and Gemini, plus open-source models such as Kimi K2.5.
Cursor Pro has a wider model-choice surface if you want to mix and match frontier models per task. Devin Pro’s SWE 1.7 model is purpose-built for software engineering workflows.
Usage Limits
- Cursor Pro includes $20/month in API usage credit. Once depleted, on-demand usage continues at API rates. Max Mode supports up to 1M token context windows on eligible models.
- Devin Pro includes a daily and weekly agent quota shared across Devin Desktop, Devin Cloud, and Devin CLI, plus unlimited Tab completions and inline edits. Usage beyond the included quota draws on-demand credits billed at API pricing.
Cursor’s dollar-denominated usage makes cost forecasting cleaner for developers tracking API spend. Devin’s quota system gives a fixed daily and weekly allowance before falling back to pay-as-you-go credits.
Who Should Choose Each
Choose Cursor Pro if you:
- Want the broadest frontier-model selection (GPT, Claude, Gemini, xAI) in a single IDE
- Prefer dollar-based usage tracking with on-demand continuation
- Value annual billing discount ($16/month vs $20/month monthly)
- Run complex, long-context coding sessions with Max Mode (up to 1M tokens)
Choose Devin Pro if you:
- Want purpose-built software engineering models (SWE 1.7) alongside premium frontier access
- Like a quota-based usage model with daily and weekly resets, backed by on-demand credits at API pricing
- Are an existing Windsurf Pro subscriber grandfathered at the $15/month rate
- Want to try Devin Desktop free first, Devin Free includes unlimited Tab completions before you commit to Pro
