Coding Assistant AI Startup Windsurf reduced its prices “in all areas” he announced Mondayspromoting “mass savings” for its users such as competition with its rival cursor intensifies.
Windsurf said that he is getting rid of his complex system of “flow action credits”, which charged developers for the actions that their AI did in the background. It is also reducing the prices of its equipment plans to $ 30 per user per month below $ 35, while its business plans are “much cheaper,” according to the announcement.
Marketer of Windsurf Rob Hou products proclaimed in x That Windsurf now has “with much the best and most affordable price structure of all the coding tools in the market”, proving this to Windsurf optimizing its use of GPU.
Hou criticized “confusing” competition plans with a price of $ 20 per month in an apparent excavation in the individual cursor monthly plan, which starts at $ 20 compared to the $ 15 of Windsurf.
Price review occurs when Windsurf is being considered for an OpenAi acquisition for $ 3 billion (Cursor Cursor Anysphere is in conversations to increase to an assessment of $ 10 billion). As TechCrunch reported previously, Windsurf is the least of the two new coding companies, generating around $ 100 million compared to the $ 300 million cursor. Openai originally wanted to buy cursor, but it is growing so fast that it is not in the market to be sold.
Although Windsurf has not confirmed Operai’s acquisition reports, he has recently intensified his public collaborations with Openai.
For example, The Windsurf CEO, Varun Mohan, appeared earlier this month In OpenAi’s launching video for his last API Model family. And as part of the pricing announcement, Windsurf is lavishing its users with another week for free and unlimited use of the latest GPT-4.1 and O4-MINI models of OpenAI.
The big question is whether the cursor ends up reducing its own prices in response to Windsurf renewal. That could risk a price war, which makes it difficult for both new companies to increase in a profitable way.
Windsurf, who declined to comment for this article, said in his announcement that he continues to fulfill his promise “from the beginning” to pass the savings of his users.
The creator of Cursor Anysphere did not respond to a request for comments.
