Comparison · developerz.ai vs Devin
We write and maintain the code, on your boxes, with your keys.
Devin is an autonomous coding agent. developerz.ai is a whole AI engineering team: it plans the work you asked for, writes it on your own boxes with your own keys, reviews the result and merges it by your rules.

What Devin is good at
Devin is a capable autonomous coding agent, and if what you want is software that writes the patch, it does that job. We are not competing for that seat: our AI devs write on your own boxes with your own keys, and an issue can still go to an agent you already use, such as Copilot, Claude Code or OpenHands. developerz.ai runs the rest of the engineering team around the patch.
Devin writes code. developerz.ai is the whole team around the code (triage, planning, review, CI and release), and its AI devs write the code on your own boxes.
Where we differ
| developerz.ai | Devin | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Flat monthly price per AI dev, no task counter, no per-seat review fee | $20 – $200 / mo on Pro and Max, or $80 / mo plus $40 per full user on Team, with usage quotas |
| Quotas | None. Your own token bill is the only variable cost | A usage quota per plan, refreshed daily and weekly, with extra usage bought at API pricing |
| Where it runs | Your own boxes, you enrol the servers and we dispatch to them | Cognition's cloud by default, reached at app.devin.ai, with a Devin for Terminal that can hand longer tasks to cloud Devin |
| Inference keys | BYOK only: your own Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, MiniMax and more, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. We never resell tokens | Tokens billed by Devin |
| Scope | Triage, hand-off, code review and self-hosted CI in one GitHub App | Writing code |
| Who carries the work forward | Policy written once in a .dz/maintainer/maintainer.yml that every run reads: auto_merge: false, or a human_merge lane, keeps a person in the path because you chose it | Per its docs you follow Devin in the embedded IDE and can take over to run commands or edit the code yourself |
| How a session ends | Either a merge under the policy your repository sets, or a stop at a named refusal, and the audit log says which | Per its docs, with draft pull requests waiting for review |
| Record of what happened | Append-only audit log you can read and export | A hosted product, the record of a run lives in their system |

Proof
One feature, built two ways.
The comparison takes one issue and builds it twice: once with a developer driving Claude Code, once by handing it to developerz.ai. Same repository, same starting commit, same model. The method is registered in public before either arm runs, and both receipts are published whatever they say.

Ship more. Maintain less.
We expect software to be written faster than any team can review it. Bring your repos, your boxes and your keys. We bring the org that keeps up.
