Windsurf Review (2026)

AI Code Editor · Free / Pro $15/mo / Enterprise custom
CodingEditorAutonomous
Last reviewed: February 2026

AI-powered code editor (formerly Codeium) with autonomous multi-step coding, multi-file editing, and deep codebase understanding.

✅ Pros

  • Generous free tier with unlimited autocomplete
  • Autonomous multi-step coding capabilities
  • Deep codebase understanding
  • Most competitive pricing ($15/mo Pro)

❌ Cons

  • Newer and less proven than Cursor
  • Occasional errors in complex autonomous tasks
  • Smaller community and ecosystem
  • Still rapidly evolving

The Affordable Cursor Alternative

Windsurf (formerly Codeium) offers similar capabilities to Cursor — codebase-aware AI, multi-file editing, autonomous coding flows — at a lower price point. The free tier with unlimited autocomplete is genuinely generous.

Who Should Use It

Developers who want Cursor-like features at a lower price, or who want to try a generous free tier before committing to a paid AI coding tool.
