Reviewer scorecard
“Free tier with no restrictions is remarkable. Completion quality rivals Copilot for most languages.”
“Hard to argue with free. The enterprise features and Windsurf IDE show they have a real business model beyond the free tier.”
“This fills a real gap in the ecosystem. Worth adopting early.”
“Giving away code completion to win IDE market share with Windsurf is a smart long-term play.”
“The team ships fast and responds to feedback. Good sign.”
