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

Sourcegraph Cody

  • No longer available to individual developers or small teams after free and Pro tiers were discontinued in mid-2025
  • Priced substantially higher than many competing AI coding assistants, with Enterprise plans typically requiring annual contracts
  • Sourcegraph has shifted its individual-developer focus to a separate product, Amp, creating uncertainty about Cody's long-term product priority
  • Requires integration with Sourcegraph's broader code intelligence platform rather than working as a lightweight standalone extension
