Google Antigravity vs Windsurf (2026)

Google Antigravity

by Google

Windsurf

by Cognition

Pros

• ✓Runs several agents in parallel and reports through Artifacts such as plans, walkthroughs, screenshots and browser recordings, which developers can comment on while the agent keeps working.
• ✓Works from a desktop agent manager, a standalone IDE, a CLI, a Python SDK, and extensions for Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Zed and Xcode.
• ✓Google Antigravity's free individual tier includes Gemini 3.8 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-OSS-120b, with unlimited Tab completions.
• ✓Connects to MCP servers through an MCP Store listing more than 50, and runs terminal commands in a sandbox under a configurable permission system.

Limitations

• ⚠Paid tiers are Google AI subscriptions, Pro at $19.99 per month and Ultra from $99.99, with usage set by quota refreshes and weekly limits rather than a published request count.
• ⚠Bring-your-own API keys are not supported, and the Claude and GPT-OSS models are not available on the Enterprise plan.
• ⚠On individual plans Google may use interactions to improve its products and models, and human reviewers may see them, unless the user opts out in settings.
• ⚠Available to personal Google accounts for people aged 18 or over in approved countries, and enterprise sign-in for JetBrains, Zed and Xcode is in preview.

Pros

• ✓Bundles interactive IDE coding with asynchronous cloud agents under one subscription, so a developer can keep editing locally while delegating longer tasks to Devin Cloud sessions and reviewing the results in the same surface.
• ✓MCP works in both directions, which is rare in this category. Devin Desktop connects out to external MCP servers such as the Slack MCP Server, and Cognition publishes its own MCP server with documented setup instructions for streamable HTTP clients.
• ✓Pricing is public and self-serve up to the Teams tier, with a permanently free plan and a documented usage-quota model, so a team can evaluate and adopt the product without talking to sales.
• ✓Devin Desktop is FedRAMP High authorized and meets DoD IL4, IL5 and IL6 through Palantir FedStart, with ITAR and FIPS 140-2 and 140-3 coverage on the same scope.

Limitations

• ⚠SAML and OIDC single sign-on, virtual private cloud deployment, teamspace isolation and centralized admin controls are all Enterprise-tier items, so the $20 Pro plan carries none of them and concurrent sessions are capped at ten.
• ⚠Customer data may be used for model training by default under Cognition's platform terms, and the contractual opt-out is restricted to paid tiers, so free-plan users have no opt-out at all. On the Teams tier only an administrator can exercise it.
• ⚠Cognition publishes customer outcome figures against anonymized categories such as Financial Institution or Technology Company rather than named accounts, and publishes no autonomous task-completion rate on any surface. FedRAMP High and the DoD impact levels cover Devin Desktop today, while the Devin Cloud agents are slated for the second half of 2026.
