Devin Desktop is what Windsurf became under Cognition, and it now ties the editor to Devin's cloud agents. Every plan, including Free, has unlimited Tab completions and inline edits, which makes the free tier useful for everyday typing even with a light agent quota. Pro at $20 a month adds frontier models from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and SpaceXAI, free use of Cognition's SWE-2 model, Devin Cloud access and extra usage at API pricing. Max at $200 offers significantly higher quotas. The Teams plan costs $80 a month for the plan plus $40 per full developer seat, supports up to 200 users and adds an admin dashboard and priority support, while Enterprise adds SAML/OIDC SSO and VPC deployment. Integrations cover Slack, Teams, Linear, Jira, GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket. The weakness is that quotas are described in words rather than numbers, which makes plan comparisons harder.
