Devin

Overview

Devin is two products under one name. Devin proper is the autonomous cloud engineer: hand it a defined ticket, it works in its own environment, opens a pull request, and comes back. Devin Desktop is the IDE and agent command center that shipped as Windsurf until Cognition renamed it in 2026 — windsurf.com now redirects there — and it can run third-party agents such as Codex and Claude Agent inside the same workspace. The price ladder is published: Free, Pro at $20, Max at $200, Teams at $80 a month plus $40 per full developer seat, with usage allowances that refresh daily and weekly. Reviewers call Devin the most autonomous agent available for well-specified tasks and the one most likely to break down on ambiguous, exploratory work that needs mid-task judgment, and they note allowances add up on long iterative sessions. Cognition reports a billion-dollar annualized run rate; vendor-reported. Buy Devin if you want to hand off defined tickets to a cloud agent and give developers the IDE in the same bill. Buy Cursor if you want an editor-first pair programmer, or Claude Code if the terminal is the workflow.
