⚠ Preliminary, based on public research, hands-on test pending. These scores come from a desk review of public sources (official pricing pages, docs, changelogs), linked on each tool page. Rex hasn't run the hands-on tests yet, so tiers shown are projected. Under our rubric, a tool's official tier is capped at B until it's tested.

What looks good

  • One surface for local agents, Devin Cloud sessions and any ACP-compatible agent
  • Existing Windsurf setups, extensions and plans carried over

Watch-outs

  • Branding churn: Windsurf became Devin Desktop on Jun 2, 2026
  • Usage over quota is billed at API prices
