Who is Devin Desktop best for?
Devin Desktop is best for developers who run several coding agents at once and want one editor to track their work.
Running several agents at once
The Agent Command Center shows every local and cloud session on one Kanban board, and Spaces let agents share context, files and pull requests.
Teams that use more than one agent
Through the Agent Client Protocol it also runs Codex, Claude Agent, OpenCode and in-house agents on the same board as Devin, billed by their own makers.
Reviewing agent code by hand
It keeps a full IDE with debugging, Tab autocomplete and built-in Devin Review, so you can check every diff before you push.
Windsurf users
Devin Desktop is Windsurf under a new name, so extensions, settings and plans moved over with a normal update.
How much does Devin Desktop cost?
Devin Desktop has a free plan with a light agent quota and unlimited Tab completions, and paid plans cost $20 a month for Pro, $200 a month for Max, or $80 a month plus $40 per full seat for Teams.

- Much higher usage quotas
Enterprise is priced by sales and adds SAML or OIDC single sign-on, central admin controls and a dedicated or private cloud deployment. Paid quotas refresh daily and weekly; what a message costs depends on the model and the size of the task, so smaller models make the quota last longer. Teams and Enterprise have no cap on concurrent sessions. The same plans cover Devin Desktop, the Devin CLI and Devin Cloud, and Windsurf plans carried over unchanged when Windsurf became Devin Desktop. Full pricing on devin.ai. We checked these prices on .
