## Devin strengths

- 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

## Devin limitations

- 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

## You.com strengths

- Clear per-call pricing with no seat, minimum or platform fee.
- Keyless free MCP tier (100 queries per day) makes prototyping frictionless.
- Range of endpoints from raw search to cited multi-step research on one index.
- Documented MCP server, agent skills and plugins for many coding agents.
- Enterprise options include zero data retention and SOC 2.
- Published latency figures per endpoint help with capacity planning.

## You.com limitations

- Per-call billing makes costs harder to predict than a flat subscription, and top Research tiers reach $1,200 per 1,000 calls.
- No consumer plans are published on the website, so anyone looking for the old chat assistant gets no clear pricing.
- The consumer search and chat experience is no longer promoted, so it is a poor fit for casual users.
- Free tier is capped at 100 Web Search queries per day.
