FAQ

How does Windsurf's Cascade agent work?+

Cascade understands your codebase context and autonomously plans and executes multi-step tasks — creating files, making edits, running terminal commands in sequence. You can review and approve each step or let it run automatically.

What's included in the Windsurf free plan?+

Windsurf's free plan provides unlimited basic AI completions plus limited Cascade agent uses. It's more generous than Cursor's free tier, making it worth trying before committing to any paid plan.

Cursor vs Windsurf — which should I choose?+

Cursor is more mature with a larger community. Windsurf offers a more generous free plan and a powerful Cascade agent. Try both free tiers before deciding — they import VS Code settings instantly.
