Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
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
Ory
- Production and Growth plans are billed annually ($770/year and $9,350/year), which is a larger upfront commitment than monthly-only competitors.
- SAML SSO and multi-region deployments are reserved for the custom-priced Enterprise tier.
- Usage-based pricing across aDAU, M2M tokens, and permission checks makes cost estimation more complex than flat per-MAU billing.
