DevinOpenCodeChoose Devin if you are teams that want to delegate well-scoped engineering tickets end-to-end. Choose OpenCode if you are terminal users who want a polished AI coding interface with LSP support.
Editorially this matchup is a dead heat: each agent leads in 3 of our six categories. On price, Devin runs $20/mo entry + usage (acus) and is proprietary; OpenCode runs free (byo api key) / pro via standard compute and is open source.
Give your chosen agent more room to build, test and iterate. Standard Compute stretches your compute through automatic provider selection and smart routing. Plans start at $19/month with $20 in monthly compute. Choose your agent below to connect. Eligible new accounts can try $0.25 of compute with no card.

Weighing the cost of running it? Compare API plans for OpenCode
Devin is Cognition's fully autonomous software engineer: give it a task in Slack, Linear, or the web IDE and it plans, writes code, runs tests, and opens a pull request in its own cloud sandbox — including several sessions in parallel. It shines on well-scoped, repetitive engineering work (migrations, test coverage, small features) and improved markedly through its 2.x releases, but it remains weaker on ambiguous, novel tasks, and ACU-based usage pricing means heavy use costs real money. Cognition also acquired Windsurf in 2025, folding its IDE technology into the same product family.
OpenCode is an open-source terminal AI coding agent with a beautiful TUI (text user interface). It supports multiple LLM providers, has LSP integration for intelligent code understanding, and offers session management for long-running tasks. Designed for developers who live in the terminal.
