He’s aide to ASDUP Windsurf lowered his “Board” that announced on Monday, seeking “mass savings” for its users after competition with its rival cursor intensifies.
Windsurf said he was getting rid of his complex system of “flow loans”, which charged developers for the actions he did in the background. It is also lowering prices for its team plans to $ 30 per user per month from $ 35, while making plans for its “much cheaper” enterprises, according to the announcement.
Windsurf product dealer Rob Hou announced on X that Windsurf now has “so far the best and most affordable price structure of all the coding tools in the market”, lending to Windsurf by optimizing his use of GPU.
Hou criticized the “confusing” competition plans at $ 20 a month in a noticeable excavation in the individual Cursor plan, which starts at $ 20 compared to $ 15 Windsurf.
Price repair comes while Windsurf is reported to be considered for a $ 3 billion purchase for Openai (Case Case maker is in talks to raise with a $ 10 billion rating). As Techcrunch previously reported, Windsurf is smaller than the two beginners of coding assistants, generating about $ 100 million in ARR as compared to $ 300 million. Openai initially wanted to buy the cursor, but is growing so fast that it is not in the market to sell.
Although Windsurf has not confirmed Openai’s purchase reports, she has recently increased her public collaborations with Openai.
For example, Windsurf General Director Varun Mohan appeared earlier this month in the OpenAi launch video for her latest API model family. And as part of the price change announcement, Windsurf is making its users with another week of free and unlimited use of the latest GPT-4.1 and O4-MINI models.
The big question is whether the cursor ends by reducing its prices in response to the reconstruction of Windsurf. This can risk a price fight, making it more difficult for both beginnings to escalate with profit.
Windsurf, who refused to comment on this article, said in his announcement that he is continuing to make his promise “from the beginning” to pass savings again to its users.
Anysphere cursor maker did not respond to a comment request.
