ToolJet vs Windsurf: at a glance
What is ToolJet?
ToolJet ships Custom Component Library and tightens enterprise controls on path to AI-native low-code.
ToolJet is running two parallel tracks: an LTS branch delivering incremental reliability and plan-level limit expansions, and a beta track already carrying LLM provider switching, MCP bundled into the EE image, Personal Access Tokens, and 2FA. The gap between beta and stable is where the platform's real direction lives — AI builder + enterprise security controls converging into a single product.
What is Windsurf?
Windsurf's own feature list has thinned out; what ships now is Devin arriving one surface at a time.
Across this stretch of the changelog, nearly every substantive release is a Devin capability landing inside the editor: the agent itself, Devin for Terminal, then Devin Review and Quick Review extended to all users on their existing subscription. The IDE-native work that remains is packaging around that — an agent inbox, session sorting, Windows stability. The other recurring release type is simply making new frontier models selectable.

ToolJet
6.3INFRA · APIS
ToolJet ships Custom Component Library and tightens enterprise controls on path to AI-native low-code.
◆ Current state
ToolJet is running two parallel tracks: an LTS branch delivering incremental reliability and plan-level limit expansions, and a beta track already carrying LLM provider switching, MCP bundled into the EE image, Personal Access Tokens, and 2FA. The gap between beta and stable is where the platform's real direction lives — AI builder + enterprise security controls converging into a single product.
◆ Where it's heading
The consolidation of tooljet-mcp into the EE production image is the clearest signal: ToolJet is treating MCP as a first-class integration layer, not an experiment. PATs threading through groups, workflows, plugins, and MCP auth suggest an API-first model is being built on top of the visual layer. The Custom Component Library core gives power users the extensibility path that previously required forking the platform.
◆ Prediction
LLM provider switching and MCP-based datasource connectivity will stabilize to LTS within the next few releases — both are already merged in EE. Once stable, these features position ToolJet against agentic-workflow tools as much as against no-code competitors.
Windsurf
0.0INFRA · APIS
Windsurf's own feature list has thinned out; what ships now is Devin arriving one surface at a time.
◆ Current state
Across this stretch of the changelog, nearly every substantive release is a Devin capability landing inside the editor: the agent itself, Devin for Terminal, then Devin Review and Quick Review extended to all users on their existing subscription. The IDE-native work that remains is packaging around that — an agent inbox, session sorting, Windows stability. The other recurring release type is simply making new frontier models selectable.
◆ Where it's heading
Windsurf is converging on being the interface layer for Cognition's agent rather than an independently evolving editor. The pattern in these entries is consistent: a Devin surface ships, then it is unbundled from a separate purchase and folded into the existing subscription. Meanwhile the editor's own release notes are increasingly bug fixes and model availability notices, which is what a front end looks like when the differentiation has moved behind it.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next notable releases to be further Devin surfaces reaching general availability on the existing subscription rather than new editor features, and continued same-week model-availability notices. The entries give no signal on whether the JetBrains plugin gets the same Devin surfaces.
