What Codeium was
Codeium began as an AI coding assistant that added code completion, chat, search, and natural-language editing to popular development environments. Its appeal was broad IDE support and a free individual tier.
Codeium is no longer offered as a standalone product under its original name. The extension is now called Windsurf Plugin, and the company's agentic editor later became Windsurf. After Cognition acquired Windsurf in July 2025, that editor evolved again into Devin Desktop. This page preserves Codeium's history and points readers to current alternatives.

Availability
Why this listing is historical
Codeium's original standalone pricing is historical and should not be used for a purchase decision. Current plans belong to its successors: Windsurf Plugin and Devin Desktop. Devin Desktop currently lists Free, Pro, Max, and Teams plans on its official product page.
- Codeium is no longer a current standalone product or purchasing option.
- Older tutorials, screenshots, and pricing references may not match Windsurf Plugin or Devin Desktop.
- Several legacy Windsurf plugins are now maintained rather than receiving the newest agentic features.
