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 Open Interpreter if
- Fits if you work in a terminal and want to pick your own model
- Works for people who want a coding agent that can run on a local model
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a phone or web app, as it runs on computers only
- Not for you if you avoid the command line, since the terminal agent lives there
- Tight if you need a stated price for the desktop app, because the pages read give none
- Watch out: hosted models receive your instructions and file excerpts, and only a local profile keeps everything on the machine

Worth knowing
Devin
- Usage is quota-based and refreshes daily and weekly; going over means buying extra usage at API pricing.
- Cloud agents (Devin Cloud) start on the Pro plan; Free has only a light quota.
- Teams charges an $80 monthly base plus $40 per full user and caps at 100 users.
- The pricing page does not say whether prices change with monthly or annual billing.
Open Interpreter
- Model costs are paid to whichever provider is connected; the vendor's pages list no hosted plan.
- No price for the desktop app is stated on the pages read, so only the open-source terminal agent is recorded as free.
- Neither the terminal agent nor the desktop app is listed for iOS or Android, and neither runs as a hosted web app.
- Hosted models receive the instructions and the file excerpts the agent needs; only a local profile keeps everything on the machine.
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.
- Wiki and review tools
- The product menu lists Wiki, Review, Automations and Security sessions, and the pricing page lists DeepWiki and a Devin API.
Open Interpreter
- Harness emulation
- The /harness command switches between agent harnesses such as native, claude-code, kimi-code, qwen-code and swe-agent, aimed at getting better results from low-cost models.
- Provider and model switching
- The /model command picks a provider and model from the terminal. The docs cover Kimi, DeepSeek, Z.AI and Google AI Studio, and any OpenAI-compatible provider can be used through Chat Completions.
- Sandboxed command execution
- Commands run inside native sandboxing on macOS, Linux and Windows, with permissions and approval settings.
- Editor and SDK compatibility
- Runs as an Agent Client Protocol agent for compatible editors, and speaks the Codex exec protocol so the Codex SDK can point at it.
- Desktop app for cross-app work
- The Interpreter desktop app opens apps, reads files in a chosen workspace, runs web tasks and takes voice instructions, pausing for review before it submits, sends, deletes or overwrites.
- Local models and MCP
- Profiles can point at Ollama or LM Studio for local-only use, and MCP servers and skills extend what the agent can reach.

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.
