Supermaven vs Devin Desktop
Pricing
Supermaven: Being sunset since November 2025, free autocomplete for existing users
Devin Desktop: Free tier, Pro $20/mo, Max $200/mo
Description
Supermaven: Fast AI code completion that Cursor acquired in 2024 and began shutting down in November 2025
Devin Desktop: AI IDE (formerly Windsurf) with an agent mode (Cascade) and a command center for running local and cloud coding agents across your project
Pros
- Existing JetBrains and Neovim customers keep free autocomplete
- Fast completions, with a 1 million token context window on the Pro plan
- Cascade agent mode handles multi-file changes without hand-holding
- Agent Command Center lets you start, track and review several local and cloud agents from one board
- Free tier with unlimited Tab completions and inline edits, enough to evaluate before paying
Cons
- Agent chat was discontinued in November 2025
- VS Code users have been told to move to Cursor
- No new features: the product is being wound down
- Had a messy 2025: acquisition talks with OpenAI fell through, and talent split between Google and Cognition
- Smaller community means fewer tutorials and troubleshooting resources
- Context window can hit limits on larger projects
Details
Supermaven was the speed king of AI code completion. Built by the creator of Tabnine, it focused on autocomplete with very low latency and a massive context window. Cursor acquired Supermaven in November 2024 and folded its technology into the Cursor editor.
On 21 November 2025 Supermaven announced its sunset. Agent conversations ended, paying customers received refunds for their remaining time, and VS Code users were told to move to Cursor. Existing JetBrains and Neovim customers keep free autocomplete for the foreseeable future. There is no reason to start with Supermaven today: Cursor carries its completion technology, GitHub Copilot works in VS Code and JetBrains, and Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) offers unlimited Tab completions on its free plan.
Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf, the AI IDE that started as Codeium’s editor. It is now made by Cognition, the company behind the Devin coding agent. It still combines regular code completion with Cascade, an agent mode that can plan out multi-step tasks and execute them across your project. Tell it “add user authentication to this app” and it will create files, install packages, and wire things up.
The rename put an Agent Command Center at the front: a board where you run and review local and cloud agents, including Cascade, Codex and Claude Agent, while the full IDE stays available. Pro costs $20/mo and adds higher usage quotas, frontier models and Devin Cloud agents. The company had a turbulent 2025, when a $3B acquisition by OpenAI fell apart and talent ended up split between Google and Cognition, but the product now has a clear owner. If you want a capable AI IDE that can also manage several coding agents at once, it is worth trying.
