Claude Code vs Devin

Updated 16 Oct 2026 · Facts from vendor pages · How we rank →

Who should pick which

Pick Claude Code if you want to stay in the loop: it runs in your terminal on your machine, you watch it work, and you steer it. Pick Devin if you want to hand off tickets entirely. It runs in the cloud, takes tasks from Slack, Linear or Jira, and comes back with PRs on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. Devin's self-serve plans now start free, but cloud agents need Pro ($20/month). Claude Code starts at $17/month (annual) through Claude Pro.
