AI Tool Comparison
Amazon Q Developer vs Devin
A side-by-side breakdown to help you pick the right tool for your workflow.
Review Score assesses product quality; Fit Score is specific to a use case. Limited reviews do not establish overall product quality. How reviews work.
Amazon Q Developer
An AWS coding assistant offering inline suggestions, chat, and agentic tasks across IDEs and the console. AWS closed new IDE-plugin signups and subscriptions May 15, 2026 and IDE/subscription support ends April 30, 2027, pointing migrating users to Kiro; the AWS Console and other first-party AWS Q experiences are unaffected.

Bottom Line
Catalog updated: August 2026
Amazon Q Developer and Devin both compete in Coding, overlapping most directly on coding. Amazon Q Developer runs on a freemium model while Devin runs on a paid-only plan, which alone may settle it if budget or a free tier is a hard requirement.
Choose Amazon Q Developer if…
Best for existing Q Developer subscribers on cloud-native, AWS-heavy projects who need suggestions aware of AWS APIs and services while planning a migration to Kiro, and its edge is deep awareness of S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, and IAM specifics that general coding assistants don't have. Genuinely useful for AWS-heavy projects, being retired with support ending April 2027, so plan a migration to Kiro. Lean toward Devin instead if researches unfamiliar codebases and runs multi-step engineering work without direction at each individual step matters more for your use case.
Choose Devin if…
Best for teams that want an AI engineer working on a coding task autonomously while they focus elsewhere, and its edge is researches unfamiliar codebases and runs multi-step engineering work without direction at each individual step. Genuinely capable and rapidly improving, the price reflects that capability and it still isn't a senior engineer replacement. Lean toward Amazon Q Developer instead if deep awareness of S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, and IAM specifics that general coding assistants don't have matters more for your use case.
