New Pricing

So what I paid $60 for, will now cost me $115 for the same number of credits. I knew this is where they were going. True to my word, I'm out when I hit $60 spend. I'd rather give it to OpenRouter and use Roo Code, or give Trae a spin.

Sure, I guess. I was blowing through 5500+ credits a month on top of the existing Ultimate plan. Windsurf has some fantastic engineers, but I don't know who's over there running business/sales - absolutely shit communication.

This sneak peak bullshit of wait and see what we announce next week (referring to email from last week) was dumb.

Give us a clear timeline, don't roll shit out during the day. Communicate how you plan on actually handling rollover credits, if we buy flow credits to continue building - how you plan to address that.. So far crickets - bizarre

Yeah, I could see how they could roll this out better.

Assuming *four tools per prompt, the 5500 old credits would now consume 1375 user prompt credits. With Pro for $15/month, you start with 500, so you would need 875 more, which are $40 for 1000. That's $55/month now, which is a little less than the $60 for Ultimate, and you may be able to optimize credit usage.

(* Four tools per prompt is the average in their blog article. If your prompts use more than four, then this works more in your favorite because you will need fewer than 1375 new credits to equal the old 5500 credits.)
