Devin
Autonomous AI software engineer that plans, writes, tests and ships code
Devin, from Cognition, is pitched as an AI teammate rather than an autocomplete tool: given a ticket, it plans the change, writes and tests code in its own sandboxed environment, and opens a pull request for review. It is aimed at teams offloading well-scoped tickets (bug fixes, small features, migrations) rather than pair-programming inside an editor. A 2026 repricing added a limited free plan alongside the paid Pro/Max/Teams tiers.

India-readiness data is compiled by our editors from public vendor information and may be out of date. Verify GST invoicing, data residency and pricing with the vendor before you buy.
Strengths
- Runs whole tickets end-to-end (plan, code, test, PR), not just inline suggestions
- Works in its own sandbox so it can install dependencies and run test suites
- Free plan gives a light quota to try it before paying
Watch-outs
- Free plan's quota is thin; real usage needs a paid plan's usage-based ACU budget
- Still needs careful human review — not reliable unsupervised on complex tickets
Devin — frequently asked questions
- Does Devin provide a GST invoice in India?

- Is Devin priced in rupees?

- Yes — our notes indicate Devin accepts India-issued payment methods such as UPI or RuPay without heavy forex friction.
- Does Devin store data in India?
- We have not found an India data-residency option for Devin. Documented DPDP Act (2023) posture: none. Review this if your data cannot leave the country.
