Windsurf slashes prices as competition with Cursor heats up
AI Coding Assistant Startup Windsurf lowered its prices “across the board” that announced it on MondayIncluding “mass savings” for its users as competition with his rival cursor intensifies.
Windsurf said that it has lost its complex system of ‘Flow Action Credits’, who charged developers for actions that did his AI in the background. It also lowers the prices for his team plans up to $ 30 per user per month down from $ 35, while his enterprise plans are made “much cheaper”, according to the announcement.
Windsurf -Productmarketeer Rob Hou proclaimed X That windsurf now has “by far the best and most affordable price existence of all AI coding tools on the market”, this credits to windsurfing that optimizes its GPU usage.
Keep criticized “confusing” competitive plans priced at $ 20 a month in an apparent excavation with the individual monthly plan of Cursor, which starts at $ 20 compared to windsurfing $ 15.
The overhaul of the prize is reportedly taken into account for a takeover by OpenAI for $ 3 billion (Cursor’s Creator Anysphere is in conversation to collect a rating of $ 10 billion). As TechCrunch reported earlier, Windsurf is the smaller of the two Code -Assistant startups, which generates around $ 100 million in Arr compared to Cursor’s $ 300 million. OpenAi originally wanted to buy a cursor, but it grows so fast that it is not on the market to be sold.
Although Windsurf has not confirmed the OpenAi acquisition reports, it recently performed its public collaborations with OpenAi.
For example, Windsurf’s CEO Varun Mohan appeared earlier this month In the Lancing Video of OpenAI for his latest API model family. And as part of the announcement of the price change, Windsurf arouses are users with another week of free and unlimited use of OpenAI’s latest GPT-4.1 and O4-mini models.
The big question is whether Cursor ultimately reduces its own prices in response to the refurbishment of Windsurf. That can risk a price war, making it more difficult for both startups to scale up profitably.
Windsurf, who refused to comment on this article, said in his announcement that it continues to make his promise “from the start” to give back savings to its users.
Cursor Creator Anysphere did not respond to a request for comments.
