What our research says

Devin

Devin is the agent to hand a whole ticket to and walk away from, and the $20 Pro tier makes that affordable to try for the first time. The quota is the catch: a long autonomous session can exhaust a plan quickly, and once it does you are paying API rates, so it suits teams that batch well-scoped tasks rather than developers who want a tireless pair programmer in the loop.

Pros

  • End-to-end autonomy: plans, codes, tests and opens the pull request from its own cloud machine
  • Fans one large task out across parallel agents and manages them itself
  • Native Slack, Linear, Jira and GitHub integration plus Desktop and CLI clients
  • Entry price dropped to $20 a month, far below the original enterprise-only positioning

Cons

  • Quotas are described only qualitatively ('light', 'generous'), so cost per task is hard to predict
  • Overage is billed at API pricing, which is where a runaway agent session gets expensive
  • Team tier adds a flat $80 a month on top of $40 per full user
  • Pages are heavily client-rendered; the terms live on cognition.com, not devin.ai

devlo

devlo's angle is that the agent lives in GitHub rather than in an editor you have to adopt, so it can raise pull requests, review them and pick up tickets in the place the work already happens. At $19 to start it undercuts most seat-priced assistants. The weak point is transparency: the site is a JavaScript shell with no company name, country or team behind it, and the credit-to-task conversion is unpublished.

Pros

  • Runs as an installed GitHub app rather than as a separate editor you have to switch to
  • The same agent handles greenfield app builds and edits to an existing codebase
  • Pull-request review agent and custom agents appear at the $39 tier, not enterprise-only
  • Entry price of $19 a month sits below most seat-based coding assistants

Cons

  • The marketing site is a JavaScript shell - crawlers and non-JS readers see only a page title
  • No company name, address, country or team page appears anywhere on the site
  • Credits are the billing unit and no credit-to-task conversion is published
  • VPC deployment and custom integrations require a sales conversation

Which one fits

Choose Devin if you need

  • Engineering teams delegating well-specified tickets such as migrations, test coverage and dependency upgrades
  • Organisations that want agents assigned from Slack, Linear or Jira and reviewed as pull requests
  • Large codebases where a task can be fanned out across parallel cloud agents

Choose devlo if you need

  • Teams that want an agent working in GitHub pull requests rather than inside an editor
  • Small teams needing both greenfield app scaffolding and changes to an existing codebase
  • Anyone who wants an automated PR reviewer without an enterprise contract
