Which one is for you
Pick Amp if
- Fits if you want a coding agent on your own machine with your own model key
- Works for a team that wants shared threads and billing
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay on Individual: orb minutes are capped at 45,000 a month
- Not for you if your Mac is older: the app needs Apple silicon and macOS 26 or later
- Watch out: the Gigawatt tier appears on the pricing page without a readable price
- Skip it if you need SCIM, audit logs or IP allowlisting without Enterprise, whose price is not published
Pick Devin if
- Fits if you want an agent to take a task and send back a pull request
- Works for a developer who will pay $20 a month for cloud agents
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: a light quota and limited models
- Watch out: quotas refresh daily and weekly, and extra use is bought at API pricing
- Pricey if you use it heavily: Max is $200 a month
- Not for you if you need more than 100 users, as Teams caps there

- Orbs can run on your own infrastructure for free on Hobby, Individual and Teams, and they do not use orb minutes.
- Bring your own models
- You can use ChatGPT, Claude and other subscriptions or your own API keys with no Amp token fees; your provider's own limits and charges apply.
- Automations that wake threads

- Workspaces share threads, portals, plugins and skills, with multiplayer, permissions and SAML/OIDC SSO.

- The download page lists apps for Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android for following agents away from your desk.
Devin
- Cloud agents with their own computer

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
