Bottom Line
Catalog updated: August 2026
Codeium (Legacy: merged into Devin Desktop) and Cursor both compete in Coding, overlapping most directly on coding.
Choose Codeium (Legacy: merged into Devin Desktop) if…
Best for historical reference for developers evaluating Codeium's legacy free-tier autocomplete; the current product and pricing now live under Devin Desktop, and its edge is a free tier covering 70+ languages and 40+ IDEs at no cost. The best free alternative to Copilot, though it's since folded into Windsurf's pricing, check current terms before assuming it's still standalone. Lean toward Cursor instead if multi-file edits and autonomous agents built into the editor itself matters more for your use case.
