Is Codeium worth the price?
7/10
Windsurf (formerly Codeium) is competitively priced at $20/mo for Pro, matching Cursor exactly.
The free tier is more limited than Copilot Free but the Pro plan includes unlimited tab completions and auto mode. Teams at $40/user/mo is standard for the category.
The credit-based system means heavy users of frontier models may need the $200/mo Ultra plan.

Our Recommendation

Free tier works for light use. Pro at $20/mo is the sweet spot — unlimited auto mode covers most workflows without touching credits.
enterprise
Teams at $40/user/mo includes SSO, RBAC, and admin dashboard. Enterprise needed for unlimited usage and hybrid deployment.
How Codeium Compares to Competitors
Cursor charges identical $20/mo for Pro and $40/user for Business, with the same credit-based model. GitHub Copilot Pro is cheaper at $10/mo but lacks agentic features — Copilot Business is $19/user/mo. Tabnine Dev costs $9/user/mo but requires annual commitment and lacks the agentic capabilities of Windsurf and Cursor.
