Devin Desktop vs Kiro

Devin Desktop is a command center for managing local and cloud coding agents alongside a full IDE. Its editor includes syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and debugging tools; Spaces share context and Git worktrees across agents. Agent Client Protocol support is described as enabling work across models and agents, and users can review agent diffs before pushing. Integrations listed include Slack, Linear, Notion, Figma, Sentry, Stripe, Vercel, Datadog, and Atlassian, along with editor extensions and language servers. Devin CLI runs locally in a terminal. Downloads are offered for macOS, Windows, and Linux, with Mac builds for Apple Silicon and Intel and Windows builds for x64 and arm64. The Free plan costs nothing and has a light agent quota and limited model availability. Pro costs $20 a month and includes increased quotas and full model availability. Paid usage allowances refresh daily and weekly; extra usage can be purchased at API pricing. The company describes Devin Desktop as the new name for Windsurf, with existing IDE components and work carried over.

Kiro is an agentic development environment for professional developers, software teams, businesses, and enterprises. Its spec-driven workflow turns prompts into requirements, designs, and tasks for agents to implement. Deterministic tools, including property-based tests, verify code correctness and its alignment with user intent. Background agent hooks can update documentation, generate unit tests, or optimise performance, while steering files let users supply project or global context, standards, and workflows. The IDE supports VS Code settings, themes, Open VSX plugins, and MCP servers for connecting agents to external services, APIs, documentation, and tools. Desktop versions run on macOS, Windows, and Linux; Kiro also has a web interface and mobile app for accessing cloud sessions from a phone. Kiro Web requires a paid subscription. The free plan includes 50 credits per month; KIRO PRO costs $20 a month billed per user and includes 1,000 credits. Kiro says it encrypts data in transit and at rest; enterprise administrators can configure customer-managed keys.
