Replit vs Windsurf (now Devin Desktop)

Replit

• Replit Agent, an AI app builder that writes, evolves, and deploys code from natural-language prompts across websites, mobile apps, data visualizations, and more
• Intelligent model routing that selects an AI model per task
• Built-in hosting, authentication, and database services for shipping apps without separate infrastructure setup
• Multiplayer collaboration for multiple people to work in the same codebase in parallel, with visibility into changes before they merge
• Infinite Canvas for visually exploring and tweaking app designs and applying them directly to the app
• 100+ built-in integrations, including OpenAI, Stripe, and Google Workspace
• Native iOS and Android mobile apps for chatting with Agent and editing projects on the go
• Database rollback, up to 28 days on the Pro plan, for recovering from mistakes

Windsurf (now Devin Desktop)

• Full Windsurf IDE experience retained under the Devin Desktop name
• Agent Command Center with Spaces, Kanban-style organization, and multi-agent management
• Cascade agent with Code, Plan, and Ask modes for code changes, planning, questions, and tool use
• Tool calling, checkpoints, linter integration, web search, memories, and rules within Cascade
• Extension ecosystem and language-server support inherited from the editor workflow
• MCP server integrations for external tools and services
• Over-the-air migration from Windsurf with existing plans, pricing, extensions, settings, and in-progress work preserved

• The free Starter plan limits you to 1 published live project and one background task running at a time
• Heavier AI usage draws down monthly model credits, so cost can grow with usage beyond the included allowance on Core and Pro

• The Windsurf name is being replaced by Devin Desktop, which can create product-name confusion during the transition
• Teams pricing combines a base subscription and per-full-seat charge rather than a simple flat per-seat rate
• The product is aimed at code-centric workflows and is less suitable for nontechnical users wanting pure prompt-to-app building
