In their own words
Cursor
Cursor is a coding agent for building software, available as a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux. Users can select models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, SpaceXAI and Cursor, and launch fleets of agents to work in parallel for hours or days. Cursor also runs in the terminal, collaborates in Slack and reviews GitHub pull requests. Cloud Agents integrate with Slack, GitHub, GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab and Linear. The free Hobby plan includes limited Agent requests and Composer access. Pro costs $20 a month, and Teams costs $40 a month. Every plan includes model usage; on-demand usage can continue after the included amount is consumed and is billed in arrears. Privacy Mode is described as preventing training on customer data, with technical and contractual protections applied through model providers. Enterprise adds repository, model and MCP controls, audit logs and service accounts; pricing is custom and no fixed amount is listed. Cursor holds listed security certifications and attestations, and directs users to its forum or an email contact for private questions.
Devin
Devin is a coding tool that Cognition describes as an autonomous software engineer: it can plan, write, test and ship production code. Its workflows include migrations, refactors, documentation, scheduled chores, issue triage, bug fixes, testing and performance optimization. Devin runs in the cloud or on a user's machine, tests in its own browser and works toward a pull request ready to merge; larger tasks can be divided among parallel cloud agents. For local work, Devin CLI runs in the terminal on macOS, Linux and Windows, while Devin Desktop provides an IDE with syntax highlighting, autocomplete, debugging tools, agent fleet management and shared context. Listed capabilities also include code completion, chat assistance, codebase indexing and terminal access. Integrations and workflows involve tools including GitHub, Linear, Slack, Teams, Datadog, Sentry, Jira, Confluence, AWS, Google Drive and PostgreSQL. The free plan has limited usage; Pro costs $20 a month and Max costs $200 a month. Paid-plan allowances refresh daily and weekly, with extra usage available at API pricing.
