  • AI Canvas for inpainting and outpainting
  • Apps for iOS and Android, plus a pay-as-you-go API

Cons

  • Free generations are public and the daily allowance is small
  • Token costs vary by model and settings, so spend is hard to predict
  • Unlimited relaxed video generation needs the $60 Ultimate plan
  • Official pricing page blocks automated access, so plan details need checking on the site

Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf)

Pros

  • Free plan with unlimited Tab completions and inline edits
  • Full IDE that stays compatible with VS Code and Windsurf extensions
  • One view for managing local, cloud and third-party agents
  • Supports ACP agents such as Codex, Claude Agent and OpenCode

  • 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
