AI Coding Assistant Cost Comparison
Individual-developer pricing, checked October 2026. GitHub Copilot now bills with credits (Pro $10 incl. $15 of credits, Pro+ $39 incl. $70, new Max $100 incl. $200). Windsurf was renamed Devin Desktop in June 2026. Most plans include a usage pool and can bill extra at API rates once exceeded — this shows base subscription cost only. Codeium became Windsurf, now Devin Desktop, and is listed there. AI tool pricing changes often; treat this as a snapshot.
Check off the AI coding assistants you subscribe to (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Devin Desktop/Windsurf) and pick each plan tier to see your monthly total, using October 2026 individual-developer pricing. Distinct from our AI Token Cost Calculator (raw API pricing) and AI Subscription vs API Cost Calculator (general AI chat subscriptions) — this is specifically for coding-assistant subscriptions.

Frequently asked questions
Are these prices my exact bill?
Not necessarily. Most of these plans include a usage pool and can bill extra at API rates once you exceed it — the listed price is the base subscription, not a usage cap guarantee.
Where's Codeium?
Codeium rebranded to Windsurf, which was renamed Devin Desktop in June 2026. It is no longer sold as a separate product, so we list it under Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf).
Is it normal to pay for more than one of these at once?
It varies by developer — some pay for just one, others run two side by side to compare output. This calculator is for whoever wants to see the combined total, not a recommendation to subscribe to multiple.
How current is this pricing?
Checked as of October 3, 2026 (Copilot and Devin Desktop against their official pricing pages). AI tool pricing changes frequently (GitHub Copilot has moved to credit-based billing), so treat this as a snapshot, not a permanent reference.
