Windsurf slashes prices as competition with Cursor heats up
techcrunch.comPublished: 4/23/2025
Summary
AI coding assistant startup Windsurf cut its prices “across the board” it announced on Monday, touting “massive savings” for its users as competition with its rival Cursor intensifies. It’s also cutting prices for its team plans to $30 per user per month down from $35, while making its enterprise plans “much cheaper,” per the announcement. OpenAI originally wanted to buy Cursor, but it’s growing so quickly that it’s not in the market to be sold. Although Windsurf hasn’t confirmed the OpenAI acquisition reports, it has recently stepped up its public collaborations with OpenAI. The big question is whether Cursor ends up cutting its own prices in response to Windsurf’s revamp.
