Which one is for you
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
Pick Jules if
- Fits if your code lives on GitHub and you want chores done in the background
- Works for solo developers who can live inside 15 tasks a day
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you use GitLab or Bitbucket, because the docs describe GitHub only
- Watch out: the docs say limits and features may change, as it is an experimental beta
- Tight if you want more, since paid tiers come only through Google AI Pro or Ultra
- Watch out: paid tiers are for individual gmail.com accounts for now, and their prices are not on the Jules pages

Key features
Devin
- Cloud agents with their own computer
- Devin spins up Windows, Mac and Linux virtual machines as needed to build, test in a browser and record what it built.
- Pull requests from a task
- Sessions start from a prompt or a chat message and end with a pull request, with its tests and a summary of the change.
- Parallel sessions
- A large task can be split across parallel cloud agents that report back. Pro and Max allow up to 10 concurrent sessions.
- Devin Desktop and CLI
- A local app and a terminal CLI run Devin on your own machine, with Tab completions and inline edits in the desktop app.

- The product menu lists Wiki, Review, Automations and Security sessions, and the pricing page lists DeepWiki and a Devin API.
Jules
- Plan before changes
- After a prompt, Jules writes a plan that you can review and approve before any code is edited.
- Cloud virtual machine
- Jules clones the repository into a virtual machine, installs dependencies and edits files there, so work continues while you are away.
- Pull requests on GitHub
- Finished work arrives as a diff you can browse and approve, then as a pull request. Adding a 'jules' label to an issue also assigns it a task.
- AGENTS.md support
- Jules reads an AGENTS.md file in the repository root to learn conventions and how to work with the codebase.
- Scheduled and suggested tasks

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.
