Cursor Teams costs $40 per seat monthly. Windsurf (Devin) pricing for teams involves an $80 monthly base fee plus $40 per full developer seat. While the incremental seat cost is identical, Windsurf carries a higher fixed monthly cost regardless of team size.
From a financial perspective, these tools represent a low barrier to positive return. At a loaded hourly rate of $100, an engineer only needs to save 0.4 hours—roughly 24 minutes—each month for the software to pay for itself. At lower rates of $50 per hour, the break-even point is 0.8 hours.

Break-even hours = seat price ÷ loaded hourly cost. Each seat pays for itself once it saves that much verified time per month.
Which structure is better for small teams?
Cursor Teams offers a more predictable entry point for smaller engineering groups because it lacks a base platform fee. You pay $40 for every user you add. Windsurf (Devin) requires an $80 monthly commitment for the team plan before any dev seats are added at the $40 rate, which increases the average cost per user for smaller deployments.
How do usage tiers differ?
Both platforms offer $20 per month individual tiers for those exploring the technology. However, for team-wide adoption, the focus shifts to the $40 per seat level. Windsurf also offers a "Max" tier at $200 per month for higher usage allowances, whereas Cursor's primary team offering remains at the $40 mark with various sub-plans mentioned for standard or premium needs.
To justify this spend, procurement and finance leaders must look past developer sentiment and measure actual time saved against baseline benchmarks. By tracking the delta between historical task duration and AI-assisted completion times, NetLift provides the evidence required to move from a pilot to a full-scale rollout with a verified net return.
