Devin vs Verboo Code
Devin or Verboo Code? Side-by-side comparison: work mode, models, ACU vs unlimited tokens, price, context, and integrations. See when to choose each, and why Devin does not accept a custom endpoint.
Short answer: Devin is a cloud-based autonomous coding agent: you delegate a whole task, it works alone in an isolated VM, and hands back a ready pull request. It bills by ACU, the unit that measures autonomous work time, starting at US$ 20/month (Core) plus US$ 2.25 per extra ACU, or US$ 500/month on Team, with 250 ACUs included. Verboo Code is a terminal CLI you drive command by command, with dedicated GPUs, unlimited tokens, and a fixed price starting at R$ 99/month. Delegating and walking away is Devin's strength; a long session you drive yourself, without counting ACUs, is where Verboo Code fits.
Devin vs Verboo Code, side by side
| Attribute | Devin | Verboo Code |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Cloud agent: web, desktop, and CLI, spins up an isolated VM per task | Terminal CLI, local |
| Models | Own SWE-1.7 (via Cerebras, 1,000 TPS), plus GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Devin Desktop Premier | 11 open models (GLM-5.2, DeepSeek V4, Kimi K2.7, and more), switch with /model |
| Usage limit | ACU (Agentic Compute Unit), ~15 minutes of autonomous work each | Unlimited tokens |
| Price | Core US$ 20/month + US$ 2.25/ACU · Team US$ 500/month with 250 ACUs | From R$ 99/month (Junior), fixed price |
| Max context | ~256k tokens (SWE-1.7, not officially published by Cognition) | Up to 1M tokens (except qwen3.8-27b, 262k) |
| Where it processes | Isolated VM in Cognition's cloud | Dedicated GPU in Brazil |
| Integrations | GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Slack, Teams, Jira, Linear, MCP marketplace | Own OpenAI-compatible endpoint: works inside Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Cline, OpenCode |
| What it does best | Delegate a whole task, agent hands back a PR ready for review | Session driven line by line, no token ceiling |
When Devin is the right choice
- You want to delegate a whole task and walk away, without driving the session line by line.
- Your team runs several tasks in parallel, each in its own isolated VM, without constant dev attention.
- Your workflow already lives in Slack, Jira, or Linear, and you want to kick off sessions from there.
- You have team budget and a workload that fits inside the Team plan's 250 ACUs.
When Verboo Code is the right choice
- You prefer driving the session yourself, line by line, with full control of every step.
- You've already burned through ACUs mid-task and had to wait for the next billing cycle.
- You prefer a fixed, predictable price over calculating how much compute each task consumed.
- You want a terminal with unlimited tokens, without counting how many agent minutes a long debug session will cost.
How to switch
Devin doesn't accept a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint: model choice is locked to the official list, with no base URL field. To get unlimited tokens without giving up the terminal habit, run Verboo Code in parallel:
npm install -g @verboo/code
verboo
While Devin handles the tasks you delegate and let run on their own, Verboo Code takes the sessions you want to drive closely.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use Devin with Verboo Code's models?
Not directly. Devin has no custom base URL field: model choice stays within its official, already-integrated list. The path is to run Verboo Code in parallel, from the terminal.
Which is cheaper, Devin or Verboo Code?
It depends on the autonomous workload you delegate. Devin's Team plan covers 62.5 hours of work per month for US$ 500; beyond that, each extra ACU adds US$ 2.00. Verboo Code charges a fixed price with unlimited tokens starting at R$ 99/month, with no usage unit to multiply.
If what's blocking your workflow isn't giving up session control, but running out of ACUs to count, Verboo Code fixes that with unlimited tokens at a fixed price, in the same terminal habit.
