Cognition's autonomous cloud software engineer that plans, codes, tests, and opens pull requests on its own.
Cloud-based autonomous agent from Cognition AI that takes on scoped engineering tasks end to end, from planning through pull request. Plans use a quota-based usage allowance that refreshes daily and weekly, with a free tier, Pro at $20/month, Max at $200/month, and Teams at $80/month plus $40 per seat. Paid plans include access to OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini frontier models alongside Cognition's own SWE 1.6 model; the Windsurf IDE acquired by Cognition is now branded Devin Desktop.
Strengths
- Fully autonomous cloud sessions that run tasks end to end without local setup
- Access to multiple frontier model families plus Cognition's own SWE models
- Quota-based plans scale from a free tier to high-usage Max and Teams tiers
Tradeoffs
- Works best on well-scoped tasks; practitioners report mixed results on ambiguous or large refactors
- Quota allowances can deplete quickly on long autonomous runs, pushing users to API-priced top-ups
- Closed source with less interactive steering than pair-programming style CLI agents
