Devin ranks fourth and is the most hands-off agent here. Cognition describes it as an autonomous software engineer that runs in the cloud or on your machine, tests in its own browser and keeps going until the pull request is ready to merge. The Pro plan at $20 a month includes Devin Cloud, frontier models from several providers, free use of the SWE-2 model and up to 10 concurrent sessions, along with the Devin Desktop editor. Teams can start sessions from Slack, Teams, Linear or Jira and connect GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. Max at $200 a month raises quotas, and Teams costs $80 a month plus $40 per full developer seat for up to 200 users with unlimited concurrent sessions. Usage allowances refresh daily and weekly, but Cognition does not publish them as numbers, and extra usage is billed at API pricing. The free plan covers the desktop editor, not cloud agents.
Who it is for
Teams that want an agent to take tickets from Slack, Linear or Jira and run several sessions in parallel.
