Devin review: pricing, features and what testers found

Devin is Cognition's AI coding agent: Devin Cloud works on tasks in its own virtual machines and opens pull requests, while Devin Desktop (the Windsurf editor, renamed in June 2026) and the Devin CLI run agents on your own machine. The Free plan has unlimited Tab completions and a light agent quota; Pro costs $20 a month, Max $200 a month and Teams from $80 a month.

Our take

Devin suits developers and teams who want an AI editor and an autonomous cloud agent on one plan: Devin Desktop (the Windsurf editor, renamed on June 2, 2026) and the Devin CLI run agents on your machine, while Devin Cloud works in its own virtual machines, tests its changes in a browser and opens pull requests. Free has unlimited Tab completions and a light agent quota but no cloud agent; Pro at $20 a month adds frontier models and Devin Cloud with up to 10 sessions at once, Max costs $200 a month for a larger weekly quota, and Teams starts at $80 a month. Zapier's Miguel Rebelo, testing the editor shortly before the rename, found it acts more as a co-author than Cursor does, fast when its guesses are right and extra work when they are not; he picks Cursor as the daily driver for solo developers and Windsurf for vibe coders, regulated companies and a usable free plan. Published tests of the cloud agent are older and predate Devin 2.0: over a month in late 2024 Answer.AI's team logged 3 successes in 20 tasks, and Builder.io's Steve Sewell got usable pull requests, one bug fix in about 12 minutes, but with unneeded changes and slow back-and-forth in Slack. The main catch is usage: Cognition publishes no quota figures, only that allowances refresh daily and weekly, and past them you buy extra usage at API list prices. Cognition may train on your code unless you are on a paid plan and opt out, and payments are non-refundable except where its terms or the law say otherwise.

Based on Devin's published plans and the hands-on tests linked below, not on a test of our own.

Good for

  • Developers who want an AI editor and a cloud agent that opens pull requests under one $20 subscription
  • Teams handing well-scoped tickets such as bug fixes, dependency upgrades and test coverage to an agent from Slack, Microsoft Teams, Linear or Jira, and reviewing the pull request
  • Developers who run several agents at once (Devin, Codex, Claude Agent or their own) and want them on one board, including former Windsurf users who keep their editor, settings and grandfathered price

Watch out for

  • Cognition publishes no quota figures: each paid plan's allowance refreshes daily and weekly (Max weekly only, with no daily cap), and what a message uses depends on the model, the size of the task and the reasoning. Cognition says most users never reach their limits; when you do, Free waits for the reset and paid plans buy extra usage, billed at API list prices for the model, with fast and priority variants costing more.
  • Devin Cloud sessions are metered by the work Devin does (its actions plus virtual-machine time), not per task, so a long or vague task uses more; Windows sessions use about 9% more than Linux, and a session goes to sleep after 30 minutes idle. Enterprise is billed in Agent Compute Units (ACUs) at a contract rate with no public price.
  • Teams pricing reads two ways: the pricing page says '$80/month for team plan + $40/mo per full dev seat', while Cognition's billing docs say the $80 is a minimum that full seats count toward (two full seats cost $80 in all, three $120, and with fewer than two the rest is charged as prepaid credits). Free flex seats draw only on the team's shared credits and do not include Devin Desktop, and new Teams plans no longer include SSO, which is Enterprise-only.
  • Former Windsurf users: the rename on June 2, 2026 left plans and prices unchanged, but Windsurf had already replaced prompt credits with daily and weekly quotas in March 2026. Pro subscribers who paid $15 a month keep that price indefinitely and Teams subscribers keep $30 a Developer seat, while new subscribers pay $20 for Pro and $40 a full Teams seat; unused add-on credits became extra-usage balance at $10 per 250 credits, refundable through support. Legacy Windsurf Enterprise customers keep credit billing ($120 per 1,000 pooled credits) and the windsurf.com login.
  • The old Cascade agent was replaced by Devin Local (Cognition's launch post kept Cascade for migration through July 1, 2026, and its release notes show enterprise admins can still switch legacy Cascade on), the Windsurf JetBrains plugin is in maintenance mode with Cognition pointing JetBrains users to Devin over the Agent Client Protocol, and the app is now named Devin on every system, so company device-management allowlists that approve only 'Windsurf' may block it.
  • SWE-2, Cognition's own model, was free in Devin Desktop and the CLI on paid plans only under a launch offer running to mid-October 2026 (October 16 on the pricing page, October 15 in the models doc); after it, SWE-2 is billed against your quota at its list price of $3 input and $15 output per million tokens ($0.30 cached input).
  • By default Cognition may use your code and prompts to train its models: paid plans can opt out in Data Controls (on Teams only an admin can), which also turns on zero data retention with model providers, the Free plan cannot opt out, and Enterprise data is not used without written consent.
  • Payments are non-refundable except where Cognition's terms or the law say otherwise, though its docs say you can ask for a refund before using a new subscription; plans renew automatically, a cancelled plan runs to the end of the period, Pro and Max are single-user plans, and the pricing page lists monthly prices only. Free trials go only to customers Cognition's systems pick, and generally not to anyone who has used Devin, Windsurf or Codeium before.

What Devin does

Price

Free plan: Free gives unlimited Tab completions and inline edits in Devin Desktop plus a light agent quota with limited models; Cognition publishes no figure for the quota, the plan has no Devin Cloud, Devin API or integrations, and when the quota runs out you wait for the daily or weekly reset.

PlanBilled monthlyBilled yearly, per monthIncludes
Free free not listed Devin Desktop with unlimited Tab completions and inline edits, a light agent quota that resets daily and weekly, and limited models without the premium ones (Cognition's models doc names SWE-1.6 as the only model on Free); no Devin Cloud, Devin API, Ask Devin or integrations

We have not tested Devin ourselves. These are the published tests we found that used it hands-on, newest first; follow the links for the full reviews.

Zapier · Miguel Rebelo · updated May 27, 2026

What they tested: Windsurf, now Devin Desktop, side by side with Cursor in what he describes as in-depth testing of both editors, covering Tab completions, inline editing, Codemaps, the agent workspace, compliance and the free plans. The update is from May 2026, shortly before the June 2 rename; an editor's note says the product, features and pricing carried over.

  • Windsurf works as a co-author rather than a copilot: its Tab can complete code, predict multi-line edits, jump to the next spot and add imports, which keeps you in flow when its guesses are right and costs effort correcting course when they are not.
  • He describes Codemaps, diagrams generated from a question about your code whose nodes open the matching line, as a quick way to get your bearings in an unfamiliar codebase or in one an agent built for you.
  • He rates Cursor the more reliable daily driver for solo developers and small teams, and Windsurf the better pick for non-technical users and vibe coders, for regulated industries (it holds FedRAMP High and HIPAA certifications) and for a free plan that lasts longer; both started at $20 a month when he tested, before Cursor's October 2026 change of plans.

Answer.AI · Hamel Husain, Isaac Flath and Johno Whitaker · January 8, 2025

What they tested: A month of real work with Devin's cloud agent as it was in late 2024, before Devin 2.0 (April 2025), Devin Desktop and today's plans, run through Slack and the web app: more than 20 tasks covering new projects, research, code analysis and changes to existing projects.

  • The first tasks went well: Devin pulled data from Notion into Google Sheets in about an hour with only a few minutes of their time, and built a planet tracker set up entirely from a phone.
  • Of the 20 tasks they logged, 14 failed, 3 succeeded and 3 were inconclusive, and they could not predict which tasks would work.
  • Devin pressed on with impossible or misunderstood tasks, spending over a day on a deployment the hosting service does not support, and often wrote needlessly complex code; the team went back to tools where the developer drives, such as Cursor.

Builder.io (on DEV Community) · Steve Sewell · December 11, 2024

What they tested: Devin's cloud agent on the $500-a-month plan of December 2024, before Devin 2.0, Devin Desktop and today's plans, run from Slack on an image-generation repo, a weather app, a bug in Builder.io's website and a GraphQL API feature, then some of the same jobs in Cursor's agent.

  • In about 12 minutes Devin cloned and ran an image model and sent back the picture; it added a weather-app feature in a pull request and, unasked, deployed a preview so he could see the result.
  • Its bug-fix pull request, also ready in about 12 minutes, changed code it did not need to and gave wrong explanations for those changes; a deployment problem was never solved after much back-and-forth in Slack.
  • He preferred Cursor's local, in-editor workflow to waiting on pull requests and Slack threads, and doubted Devin would catch on the way Cursor had.
