Windsurf

Windsurf is a web-based AI coding tool for solo developers, startups, and enterprises that want to build, test, and deploy software inside an AI-assisted editor.

Key capabilities include:

• Editor AI features on all plans, including Tab completions, Commands, and Previews to run and view app changes without leaving the editor
• Agentic workflows (Cascade) that use codebase understanding, workflow memories, rules, and optional Turbo mode to execute steps like lint fixing and terminal commands
• Full-stack app generation and iteration, including UI, backend, and database generation, plus code export, Git integration, and custom deployments (including Vercel and AWS)
• Team and enterprise controls, such as reviews, admin dashboards, centralized billing, analytics, and higher-tier security options like SSO (add-on), RBAC, and zero data retention

Pricing: Freemium with monthly plans, Free ($0), Pro ($15), Teams ($30/user), Enterprise (from $60), plus add-on credits. AI usage follows a prompt credits system (for example, 25/month on Free, 500/month on Pro). BYOK (bring your own key) can connect external API keys to avoid credit usage.

Notable for combining unlimited core editor features with credits-based model access (including SWE-1 Lite on Free, SWE-1 on Pro+, and promotional GPT-5 usage at 0 credits), plus built-in previews and deploys aimed at shipping full-stack apps faster.
