Devin is Cognition's autonomous software engineer: you give it a task in plain language and it plans the change, writes the code, tests it in its own browser and opens a pull request. It now shares one set of plans with Devin Desktop, the editor formerly called Windsurf. The free plan has a light agent quota and unlimited Tab completions. Pro costs $20 a month with frontier models, cloud agents through Devin Cloud and up to 10 concurrent sessions, plus free use of the SWE-2 model through October 16, 2026. Max costs $200 for much higher quotas. Teams costs $80 a month plus $40 per full seat, and Enterprise adds SSO and deployment in your own cloud. Usage beyond the allowance is billed at API prices.
✓Best for: Engineering teams with a backlog of well-defined tasks, such as migrations, upgrades, test coverage and small features, that they'd like to hand off
✗Skip if: Your work is mostly open-ended design or exploratory coding, where you'd rather steer each step in an editor yourself

Devin homepage, captured Oct 5, 2026.
Devin was the first AI tool sold as a software engineer rather than a coding assistant. You describe a task, and it plans the change, writes the code, runs it, tests the result in its own browser and comes back with a pull request. Cognition's homepage puts it simply: Devin won't stop until the PR is ready to merge.
The price used to be the barrier, with a $500 starting plan when Devin launched. In 2026 it starts at $20, because Devin now shares its plans with Devin Desktop, the AI editor that used to be called Windsurf. One subscription covers the editor, the command line and Devin's cloud agents.

Pro's frontier models come from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and SpaceXAI, alongside open-source models. SWE-2, Cognition's own coding model, is free in Devin Desktop and the CLI on Pro until October 16, 2026.
How usage works
Each paid plan comes with an allowance that refreshes daily and weekly, not a pool of credits that runs down over a month. Cognition says most people never reach it. If you do, you can buy extra usage, billed at the model provider's API prices. That's a change from Devin's early pricing in Agent Compute Units, which the current pricing page no longer mentions.
The allowance goes further with smaller models. Cognition's own advice is to keep prompts precise, trim unnecessary context and use small models such as Haiku, GPT 5.2 Mini or Kimi K2.5 for routine tasks.
What Devin is good at
Devin works best on tasks with a clear finish line. Upgrading a framework across several services, fixing a batch of failing tests, patching vulnerable dependencies or adding a feature that follows an existing pattern are all good fits. The demo on its homepage shows exactly that kind of job: adding enterprise single sign-on by following the codebase's existing authentication patterns, testing the sign-in flow in a browser and opening a pull request.
You can start sessions from the web app, from Slack or Microsoft Teams, or from a ticket in Linear or Jira, and Devin works with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket. Its interface also includes automations, security scans, code review and a wiki that documents your repositories, and teams can reach it through an API.
The work you give it still needs scoping. A vague request produces a vague pull request, and every change needs review by someone who understands the codebase. Treat Devin as a capable contractor, not a replacement for the engineer who owns the system.
Teams and Enterprise
Teams costs $80 a month for the workspace plus $40 for each full developer seat, and each seat comes with its own quota and Devin Desktop. It supports up to 200 users, with shared sessions, central billing, an analytics dashboard and priority support. Enterprise adds single sign-on through SAML or OIDC, deployment inside your own virtual private cloud, isolated teamspaces and management of several Devin organizations, along with a dedicated account team.
Delegate or steer?
Most AI coding tools assume you're watching. Claude Code, included with the $20 Claude plan, usually runs with a developer steering each step, and Cursor puts its agents inside a full AI editor at $20 a month. Devin starts from the other end: you hand over a ticket and come back to a pull request. GitHub Copilot's cloud agent works the same way on GitHub issues, with plans from $10, and Augment Code runs its own agent platform priced on usage.
At $20, Devin is now cheap enough to try on a real backlog. Pick five well-defined tickets, hand them over and judge it by how many pull requests you'd merge with light edits.
Frequently Asked Questions about Devin
Is Devin still $500 a month?
No. Devin launched with a $500 plan, but in 2026 it has a free plan with a light agent quota. Pro costs $20 a month and adds frontier models, Devin Cloud and up to 10 concurrent sessions. Max costs $200 a month for much higher quotas. Teams costs $80 a month for the team plus $40 per full developer seat, for up to 200 users, and Enterprise is priced on request.
Does Devin still charge per ACU?
The current pricing page doesn't use ACUs. Each paid plan comes with a usage allowance that refreshes daily and weekly, and Cognition says most users never exceed it. If you do, extra usage is billed at API prices. Smaller models stretch the allowance further.
Is Devin the same as Windsurf?
They're now one product family. Cognition renamed the Windsurf editor Devin Desktop, and the same plans cover the desktop editor, the CLI and Devin's cloud agents. Our Windsurf review covers the editor side in detail.
Devin or Claude Code?
Claude Code is Anthropic's agent for the terminal and IDE, included with the $20 Claude plan and usually steered closely by a developer. Devin is built for delegation: you assign a task, often from Slack or a ticket, and it works on its own in the cloud until it has a pull request. Many teams use an editor agent for hands-on work and Devin for tasks they can hand off.
Can Devin replace software engineers?
No. It handles well-scoped tasks, such as upgrading dependencies, fixing failing tests or adding a feature that follows existing patterns. Someone still has to define the work, review every pull request and own the design decisions.
