Editor panel

Seeded entries from our own testing round

These are ours. The panel ran the same brief on every tool on the board so that launch scores were not empty, and each entry is badged rather than blended in. Community votes accumulate on top and will outweigh the seed as volume grows.

Agent Verdict Panel

Launch testing panel, four builders running the same brief on every tool on the board.

Cascade is still a genuinely good idea and the free tier is the most generous in the category. The trust votes are the problem: model availability changing under existing users came up repeatedly in comments, and that is what moved it down a place this week.

As someone with no budget the free tier is why I have an agent at all. It follows what I am doing without me explaining, which is nice. I have had to change which model I use twice and that was not fun.

Questions

About Windsurf ratings

Are the Windsurf opinions on this page real?

Yes. Every entry is either a community submission or an Agent Verdict panel entry from our own testing round, and panel entries are badged Editor panel so you can tell them apart. Nothing here is supplied or approved by Windsurf.

What rating does Windsurf have?

736 out of 1000 on the Agent Verdict community score, from 1,489 votes, which maps to 3.68 out of 5 if you need a conventional rating scale. Its tier band is B.

Can I add my own opinion on Windsurf?

Yes. Use the form on this page. Submissions are held for review before publishing, mainly to filter out competitor astroturf and vendor marketing copy, and we do not edit the substance of what you write.

Why do some Windsurf opinions disagree with the board rank?

Because the board score is a weighted aggregate and an individual opinion is not. Someone who cares mostly about code ownership will rate a tool very differently from the published weights, where that axis carries 3 points out of 100. Reading the disagreement is usually more informative than reading the average.
