  • Native iOS app with a 4.7 rating on the App Store.
  • Heavily funded, with a reported $275M raise in November 2025.

Cons

  • Trustpilot reviewers report unexpected charges, credits consumed by failed tasks, and slow or automated refund support.
  • Pro costs $249.99 per month, a large jump from Plus at $24.99.
  • Public pricing and documentation could not be accessed without signing in, and no public API was found.

  • Pro rose to $20 per month, and Max costs $200 per month
  • The rename and the move to devin.ai changed menus, docs and branding, and some names such as the JetBrains plugin still say Windsurf
  • Cascade was retired in favour of Devin Local, so Cascade workflows had to migrate
