Devin is Cognition's managed AI software engineer for teams that want to delegate scoped engineering work to cloud and desktop agents. It can plan tasks, inspect repositories, write and run code, execute tests, open pull requests, review its own output, and collaborate through the tools engineering teams already use. The current product surface includes Devin Cloud, Devin Desktop, Devin CLI, Devin Review, Windows VM support, DeepWiki, Ask Devin, and API/automation workflows.

Devin is strongest when the buyer wants teammate-style delegation rather than an editor-side assistant. Cognition positions it for code migration and refactors, PR review and visual QA, documentation and system diagrams, scheduled chores, issue triage, bug fixing, CI failure repair, and multi-week or multi-repo projects. Devin integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Linear, Jira, Slack, Teams, Datadog, Sentry, and other enterprise tools so agents can pick up tickets, produce PRs, and respond inside team workflows.

Pricing has moved beyond the old Team-plan framing. Current public Devin pricing lists a Free plan, Pro at $20/month, Max at $200/month, Teams at $80/month for the team plan plus $40/month per full dev seat, and Enterprise custom. This makes Devin more accessible than the older $500/month Team entry point, but it is still best evaluated as a managed delegated-engineering platform rather than a free/open-source coding agent runtime.

OpenHands

Open-source AI software development agent

Open-source AI agent platform (formerly OpenDevin) for building developer agents that modify code, run shell commands, browse the web, and call APIs through a composable Python SDK and CLI. OpenHands runs agents in sandboxed Docker containers accessed via SSH, supports Claude/GPT/any LLM, and has solved 50%+ of real GitHub issues in software engineering benchmarks.

SWE-Agent

MIT-licensed autonomous coding-agent reference, now superseded for many new uses by mini-swe-agent.

SWE-agent is an MIT-licensed autonomous coding-agent reference from Princeton and Stanford researchers that takes GitHub issues and attempts fixes with a bring-your-own language model. Its agent-computer interface remains foundational for repository navigation, editing, and test execution. The README now says development has shifted to mini-swe-agent, which supersedes SWE-agent and is generally recommended going forward.

Sweep

JetBrains-first AI coding assistant with next-edit autocomplete and an open-weight 1.5B model

Sweep is a JetBrains-first AI coding assistant that pairs a next-edit autocomplete engine with an in-IDE coding agent. Autocomplete watches recent edits to predict where you'll change code next; tab jumps between proposed locations to compress multi-file refactors. The agent stages multi-file diffs inside the IDE. A 1.5B open-weight next-edit model shipped in February 2026. VS Code and Zed users currently get autocomplete only.

Codex vs Devin: OpenAI Agent Stack or Managed Autonomous Engineer?

Codex and Devin both promise agentic software engineering, but the buying decision is different. Codex is OpenAI's broad coding-agent stack across app, editor, terminal, cloud tasks, code review, SDK, and API-key automation. Devin is Cognition's managed autonomous engineer for delegating scoped work to cloud and desktop agents. Choose Codex for accessible multi-surface adoption; choose Devin when the team specifically wants managed teammate-style delegation.

Roomote vs Devin — Slack-First Cloud Coworker vs Autonomous Engineering Dashboard

Roomote and Devin are both cloud-first AI coding agents pitched at the 'replace or extend an engineer' end of the market, but they are designed for different organizational shapes. Devin from Cognition is the autonomous-engineer dashboard — a polished web UI where you delegate tasks to a single agent that plans, executes, and reports back. Roomote from RooCodeInc is the Slack-native team coworker, designed so PMs, ops, and founders can hand it work alongside engineers without ever opening a separate dashboard.
