The first reason to look past Nuphos is that you cannot budget for it: no public pricing page was found (nuphos.ai/pricing returns 404). It is also in early access, Claude Code is the only enabled agent, and you must connect cloud accounts and IAM roles before use, which takes cloud-admin time. The site says agents run on your existing subscriptions, so your Claude Code plan is a separate cost.
Cursor lists Individual (Pro) as usage-based from $20 per month plus a free Hobby tier, and is an editor with agents and cloud agents. GitHub Copilot starts at Copilot Pro, $10 per user per month, with a free tier, and works in editors and the terminal. Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) is a full IDE for local and cloud agents, Pro at $20 per month with a free tier. Replit starts at Core, $20 per month with a free plan, and is an app builder with hosting. None is described as a cloud DevOps workspace with IAM approvals.

Taken from the documented limitations in our Nuphos profile.
| Tool | Starting price | Free tier | Platforms | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nuphos (this page) | Not published | No | Desktop | Early access with Claude Code as the only enabled agent, and no public pricing page (nuphos.ai/pricing returns 404). |
| Cursor | From $20/mo (Individual (Pro)) | Yes | Desktop | Hobby has only limited Agent requests, and usage beyond the included amount is billed on demand. |
| GitHub Copilot | $10/mo (Copilot Pro) | Yes | Web, Desktop, Mobile | Chat, agents, code review and CLI all draw from a monthly GitHub AI Credits allowance that varies by model and task, so heavy agent use can exhaust a plan mid-month and require paid extra usage or an upgrade. |
| Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) | $20/mo (Pro) | Yes | Desktop | Free plan has light agent quota and limited model availability; enterprise features require contact. |
| Replit | $20 (Core) | Yes | Web, Desktop, Mobile | Strongest models consume paid credits; Free Mode usage is capped at 30 hours chat and 60 projects. |
