Account and subscription applicability
Fact Official FAQ says Windsurf settings are ported automatically and Devin Local inherits Windsurf settings. Legacy Windsurf plans can still use windsurf.com to manage settings. TraceCheck does not independently inspect credential stores.
Fact Official FAQ: you do not need to upgrade to the Cognition Platform Plan or switch billing to ACUs for Devin Desktop to work, including for legacy Enterprise customers.
Fact Devin Desktop on Teams is documented as available to users with full seats. That full-seat language is not a resolution of the $80 vs $40 billing conflict.
Unknown — unresearched TraceCheck does not independently verify password vaults, SSO token stores, or every legacy file path beyond what the FAQ lists.
Official source conflict
Official sources disagree
Unknown — conflicting Devin Desktop / Windsurf Teams $80 minimum versus $40 full-seat charges
Source A:Devin pricing — The Devin pricing page presents Teams as $80/month for the team plan plus $40/month per full developer seat, and the compare table header also shows Team $80/month with +$40/month per full user.
Source B:Devin self-serve billing — The self-serve billing document states every Teams account pays at least $80/month and that full-seat fees of $40 each contribute toward that minimum, with leftover minimum billed as prepaid on-demand credits. Two full seats equal $80 with $0 included credits; three full seats equal $120.
Applies to: Current self-serve Teams plans
Decision impact: A buyer cannot treat one additive total as settled Fact. Both sources agree the monthly obligation is at least $80. They disagree on whether seat fees stack on top of an $80 plan fee or count toward it.
TraceCheck status: Unresolved — Derived outputs must not treat one side as settled Fact.
Current interpretation: TraceCheck records an $80 monthly minimum and does not publish a single additive $80+$40 total as Fact.

Unknown — conflicting Devin Cloud inclusion and the migration FAQ's separate-SKU language
Source B:Devin Desktop FAQ — The no-forced-ACU-migration answer says Cloud remains a separate SKU, including in a question covering legacy Windsurf customers.
Applies to: Current self-serve versus legacy Windsurf and negotiated Enterprise contracts; the exact boundary is not reconciled.
Decision impact: Use the explicit self-serve documentation only for that cohort. Do not infer Cloud entitlement or a shared pool for all historical Windsurf contracts.
TraceCheck status: Unresolved — Derived outputs must not treat one side as settled Fact.

Unknown — conflicting Max daily-cap applicability across self-serve and Desktop quota descriptions
Source A:Devin self-serve billing — Current self-serve billing explicitly describes Max as weekly-only with no daily cap.
Source B:Devin Desktop quota system — Desktop quota documentation describes daily and weekly allowances generally and includes Max among paid plans, without a Max exception.
Applies to: Max self-serve versus existing Desktop/legacy accounts; verify contract and account meter.
Decision impact: Do not publish a universal Max daily cap or infer that a historical account has migrated. Exact numeric quotas remain undisclosed.
TraceCheck status: Unresolved — Derived outputs must not treat one side as settled Fact.

Cloud entitlement is a separate check
Use the Cloud versus Desktop cohort and seat table to distinguish current self-serve sharing from legacy contract uncertainty. The rename does not itself grant Cloud to every Windsurf subscriber.
Freshness
Named sources: Devin Desktop FAQ, “Windsurf is now Devin Desktop” blog, Devin Desktop product page, and Devin pricing. Effective rename date: June 2, 2026. Review trigger: a change to official continuity claims, Cascade/Devin Local dates, or reconciliation of Teams billing.
