AI Tool Comparison
Cursor 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.
Cursor
Code with an AI that understands your entire codebase, multi-file edits, autonomous agents, and frontier model access on demand. Now a SpaceX subsidiary, with Grok 4.6 as the default model.
Coding
freemium
Devin
Cognition's autonomous AI software engineer plans, writes, tests, and ships code changes independently in a cloud environment. Now on SWE-1.7.
Coding
paid
Bottom Line
Catalog updated: August 2026
Cursor and Devin both compete in Coding, overlapping most directly on coding. Cursor 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 Cursor if…
Best for developers who want an AI that understands their entire codebase, not just the open file, and its edge is multi-file edits and autonomous agents built into the editor itself. The strongest AI-native code editor for teams ready to commit to one. 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 Cursor instead if multi-file edits and autonomous agents built into the editor itself matters more for your use case.
