Pros and cons

Cline

Pros

  • Open source under Apache 2.0, with a large public community of 250+ contributors.
  • No subscription needed: pay only for inference, or bring your own API key.
  • Works with many model providers, including local models through Ollama and LM Studio.
  • Approval at every step, plus checkpoints and undo, keeps changes reviewable.
  • Available in VS Code, a desktop app, CLI, SDK and CI, so it fits several workflows.

Cons

  • Costs depend on token usage and are not capped on the free plan, so heavy agentic sessions can be hard to predict.
  • JetBrains support is listed as early access and as an Enterprise feature.
  • Documentation does not state specific ClinePass token or request allowances.

Devin

Pros

  • Tests its work in its own virtual machine and browser and records the session
  • Runs many sessions in parallel
  • Connects to Slack, Teams, Linear, Jira and three major git hosts
  • Includes PR review, repository Wiki and Automations
  • Pro starts at $20 per month, much lower than the retired $500 Team plan
  • Enterprise options include SSO and a VPC deployment

Cons

  • Quota amounts for Pro and Max are not published
  • Extra usage is billed at API pricing, so heavy use is hard to predict
  • Max costs $200 per month, and Teams adds $40 per month per full dev seat
  • No publicly released mobile app
  • Cloud sessions need repository access, which some teams will not allow
