Claude Code vs Devin, side by side
FieldClaude CodeDevin
TierSA
Why this tierIt is the strongest option on our list for deep, multi-file work on a real repo. MCP, hooks and subagents let it fit into an existing workflow. That combination is why it shares the top of the coding-agent list with Codex.It is good for assign-and-forget tickets because it works on its own, in the cloud or on your machine, and tests in its own browser. You get less hands-on control than with terminal agents, which keeps it below the S-tier agents.
Best for
  • Deep, multi-file work on a real repo
  • Developers who live in the terminal
  • Workflows that use MCP, hooks or subagents
  • Assign-and-forget tickets
  • Teams happy to let an agent work on its own
Skip if
  • You want a visual app builder instead of a coding agent
  • You don't want to work with a repo at all
  • You want hands-on control of every step
  • You'd rather drive an agent from your own terminal
Plans
  • Claude Pro: $20/mo
  • Claude Max: $100/mo
