Devin cost: what you actually pay
Self-serve plans ($0/$20/$200) run on an undisclosed token-based quota that resets daily/weekly; once it's gone, overage bills straight through at raw frontier-model API rates, and Enterprise still hides behind custom-quoted Agent Compute Unit (ACU) pricing.
Public pricing
| Plan | Price | Billing | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | monthly | Light daily/weekly quota, limited model availability, unlimited inline edits and Tab completions, Devin Review + DeepWiki |
| Pro | $20 / moGrandfathered legacy users reportedly retained a $15/mo rate | monthly | Increased quota, full frontier model access (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini), free SWE-1.7 and OSS models, Devin Cloud agents, can buy extra usage at API pricing |
| Max | $200 / mo | monthly | Significantly higher quota than Pro, same feature set |
| Teams | $40 / seat/moPlus an additional $80/mo base platform fee (effectively $80 + $40 x seats); legacy accounts reportedly retained ~$30/seat | monthly | Unlimited team members, shared usage pool, centralized billing, admin analytics dashboard, priority support |
| Enterprise | CustomReportedly still uses ACU-style metering (historically ~$2.25/ACU on legacy Core plans) but current rates are custom-quoted and unpublished | custom | SAML/OIDC SSO, dedicated account management, centralized admin controls, dedicated deployment option |
Self-serve tiers meter an undisclosed token-based 'quota' refreshing daily and weekly; Cognition does not publish the conversion rate. Historically (pre-2026 restructure) Devin billed in Agent Compute Units (ACU) at ~$2.25/ACU (Core) or ~$2.00/ACU (Team), where 1 ACU approximates 15 minutes of active agent work; enterprise contracts reportedly still use ACU-style metering today at custom-quoted rates. Once self-serve quota is exhausted, Pro/Max/Teams users can buy extra usage billed at the underlying model's raw API rate with no bundled discount.

Where the real Devin cost hides
The sticker is the smallest part of the story. For Devin, these are the line items that quietly inflate the bill:
- Multi-hour or ambiguous multi-file tasks consume quota non-linearly — a stuck agent that retries and self-corrects can burn an outsized share of quota on one unresolved bug
- Overage is billed at raw frontier-model API rates with no discount, so a $20/mo plan can turn into a much larger bill mid-task with no warning ceiling
- Teams pricing is base-fee-plus-seat ($80 + $40/seat), easy to underestimate versus the $20/mo individual Pro sticker price
- Enterprise ACU pricing is custom-quoted and unpublished, so per-task cost is unknowable until under contract
What an audit finds on Devin
Because Devin runs autonomously over long horizons, an ambiguous ticket can trigger many build-test-fail-retry self-correction cycles that each consume compute; teams report the monthly sticker price is dwarfed by a handful of runaway multi-hour sessions that spill into API-rate overage.
Worked example: Devin at 100 people
Take 100 people on Devin Teams at the published $40 per person per month. The seat count is a round number we picked; the price is the one in the table above.
- Monthly
- $4,000
- Annual
- $48,000
- Typically recoverable
- $4,800–$7,200
That last figure is 10 to 15% of seat and subscription spend — the band an audit typically surfaces across public benchmarks and our own sample data, before any metered overage on top. On Devin it usually arrives as seats nobody has opened in 60 days, which is the cheapest dollar in the stack to get back: nobody loses a capability they were using.

Devin pricing FAQ
What's an ACU and am I still billed in them?
An Agent Compute Unit (ACU) normalizes VM time, model inference, and networking into one unit (~15 minutes of Devin work). Self-serve Free/Pro/Max/Teams plans now use a simpler daily/weekly quota, but Enterprise contracts reportedly still use ACU-style metering at custom-quoted rates.
What happens when quota runs out?
Free users wait for the next reset; Pro/Max/Teams users can purchase extra usage billed at the underlying model's raw API token rate.
What does Devin cost for a team of 100?
At the published $40 per person per month on Teams, 100 people is $4,000 a month, or $48,000 a year. An audit typically finds 10 to 15% of that recoverable — $4,800 to $7,200 a year — mostly as seats nobody has opened in 60 days.
Are these Devin prices current?
They were last checked against Devin Pricing (official) and eesel AI — Cognition AI pricing explained on 2026-07-22. Every price on this page carries that date and a link to its source, and a scheduled check fails our build when any figure goes more than 30 days unverified.
