Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 61 of the 101 other AI agents we grade
Devin is a coding agent from Cognition that takes a task, works in its own cloud environment or on your machine, and returns a pull request. The same pricing page covers Devin Desktop, a local coding app with Tab completions, and Devin Cloud, which runs agents in parallel sessions.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Devin, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Cloud agents start at Pro, and usage beyond the quota is bought at API prices.
- 1
Best for a coding agent that works in its own cloud computer
Devin runs coding agents on their own cloud computers and opens pull requests from a task.
- 2
Paid plans start at $20 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $20 per month.
- 3
There is a free plan
a light quota to code with agents, limited model availability, unlimited inline edits and unlimited Tab completions.
- 4
It runs on 4 platforms
Web, macOS, Windows and Linux.
- 5
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.
- 6
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.
- 7
Parallel sessions
A large task can be split across parallel cloud agents that report back. Pro and Max allow up to 10 concurrent sessions.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 61 of 101
That is against the other AI agents we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Devin you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for a coding agent that works in its own cloud computer
Devin runs coding agents on their own cloud computers and opens pull requests from a task. Free has a light quota, Pro is $20 a month and Max $200. Cloud agents start at Pro, and usage beyond the quota is bought at API prices.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Pro is $20 a month, in the middle of the category, with Max at $200 and Teams at $80 plus $40 a user. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free has a light quota and limited models, and Devin Cloud agents start on Pro. |
| Features | B | Cloud agents, pull requests, parallel sessions, desktop and CLI, and review tools; the listing shows no gap in the core job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It is a coding agent with sessions, repos and a CLI to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, Mac, Windows and Linux with seven integrations; no phone app is listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Devin is for
- 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
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- Engineering teams handing routine bugs and upgrades to an agent
- Developers who want local coding help and cloud agents in one plan
- Teams that start from Slack, Teams, Linear or Jira tickets
Worth knowing
- 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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Devin you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $240 a year.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
- It plugs into other products, Slack, Microsoft Teams and Linear among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Devin’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
