Where each one falls short

AppDynamics

  • appdynamics.com/pricing returns a 301 redirect to Splunk's observability pricing page; the product is now sold as Splunk AppDynamics
  • Infrastructure Edition starts at $6 per vCPU per month billed annually, so cost scales with core count rather than host count
  • Premium Edition starts at $33 per host per month and Enterprise Edition at $50 per host per month, both billed annually
  • The published figures are starting prices only, with volume pricing requiring a sales quote

Devin

  • Pricing not published; specific costs and plan tiers require signup or contact with sales
  • Cannot handle extremely difficult tasks reliably; success rate decreases with task complexity
  • Requires clear, well-scoped task descriptions; ambiguous requirements reduce effectiveness
  • Requires human oversight and integration into existing workflows; not fully autonomous
