Devin
Claude CodeClaude Code is a powerful coding assistant. Devin is an autonomous AI engineer. One helps you write code faster. The other ships features independently.
DevinDevin plans, codes, tests, debugs, and opens PRs independently. You assign a task and come back to a completed pull request ready for review.
Claude Code works alongside you in the terminal, reading and editing files directly. You guide the direction and review each step rather than delegating the full task.
Devin operates in a dedicated cloud environment with its own shell, browser, and code editor. Each task runs in isolation without touching your machine or blocking other work.
Claude Code runs as a CLI tool inside your terminal, or as an extension in VS Code and JetBrains. It operates directly on your local machine and accesses your filesystem through the tools you grant it.
Devin handles sweeping changes across dozens of files and multiple repositories. It understands system architecture and coordinates changes holistically.
Claude Code works within the context of your conversation. For very large codebases, you may need to guide it to the right files and provide relevant context.
Devin generates test suites, runs your existing tests, interprets failures, and iterates until everything passes before raising a PR.
Claude Code can write and execute tests using bash commands in your terminal or via GitHub Actions. You retain control over when tests run and can guide it toward specific test suites, but it does not iterate autonomously until all tests pass before opening a PR.
Devin builds and retains knowledge about your conventions, architecture, and patterns at the team level. It improves accuracy on your specific project with every session.
Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md files committed to your repo, making project instructions shareable across the team. It also builds per-user auto-memory for personal preferences. However, there is no shared team-level learning that improves automatically across all users over time.
Tag @Devin in Slack, Teams, or a Linear ticket and it picks up the task autonomously. It creates PRs, responds to review comments, and keeps stakeholders updated in real time.
Claude Code has built-in GitHub Actions and Slack integrations. Integrations with tools like Jira and Linear require configuring MCP servers, which adds setup overhead. These integrations are developer-configured rather than natively embedded in team workflows.
Autonomy Level
DevinEnd-to-end autonomous task execution
Devin plans, codes, tests, debugs, and opens PRs independently. You assign a task and come back to a completed pull request ready for review.
Collaborative coding assistant
Claude Code works alongside you in the terminal, reading and editing files directly. You guide the direction and review each step rather than delegating the full task.
Development Environment
DevinFully isolated cloud workspace per task
Devin operates in a dedicated cloud environment with its own shell, browser, and code editor. Each task runs in isolation without touching your machine or blocking other work.
Usually runs locally in your terminal
Claude Code runs as a CLI tool inside your terminal, or as an extension in VS Code and JetBrains. It operates directly on your local machine and accesses your filesystem through the tools you grant it.
Task Scope
DevinMulti-file, multi-repo operations
Devin handles sweeping changes across dozens of files and multiple repositories. It understands system architecture and coordinates changes holistically.
Single-session, context-bounded scope
Claude Code works within the context of your conversation. For very large codebases, you may need to guide it to the right files and provide relevant context.
Testing and Verification
DevinAutomatically writes and runs tests
Devin generates test suites, runs your existing tests, interprets failures, and iterates until everything passes before raising a PR.
Can run tests with your permission
Claude Code can write and execute tests using bash commands in your terminal or via GitHub Actions. You retain control over when tests run and can guide it toward specific test suites, but it does not iterate autonomously until all tests pass before opening a PR.
Codebase Memory
DevinDeepWiki docs for your entire codebase
Devin builds and retains knowledge about your conventions, architecture, and patterns at the team level. It improves accuracy on your specific project with every session.
Session memory via CLAUDE.md and auto-memory
Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md files committed to your repo, making project instructions shareable across the team. It also builds per-user auto-memory for personal preferences. However, there is no shared team-level learning that improves automatically across all users over time.
Integrations
DevinNative Slack, Teams, Linear, Jira, and GitHub integrations
Tag @Devin in Slack, Teams, or a Linear ticket and it picks up the task autonomously. It creates PRs, responds to review comments, and keeps stakeholders updated in real time.
GitHub Actions, Slack, and MCP-based integrations
Claude Code has built-in GitHub Actions and Slack integrations. Integrations with tools like Jira and Linear require configuring MCP servers, which adds setup overhead. These integrations are developer-configured rather than natively embedded in team workflows.
Devin leads on every dimension that matters for shipping production software autonomously. Claude Code remains a useful assistant for individual developers who prefer a chat-based workflow.
Claude Code helps you write faster. Devin helps you ship faster. Devin owns the full cycle from ticket to merged PR, so your engineers can focus on architecture and review instead of implementation.
"It can take several days to remove a single feature flag. We've tried scripting it in the past, but only Devin can comprehensively remove the feature flag PLUS fix any breaking tests or other dependencies. In the past month alone this has saved us over 1000 engineering hours."

Software Engineer · Ramp
Devin integrates natively into Slack, Linear, Jira, and GitHub so your engineers never have to leave the tools they already use. Tag @Devin on a ticket and get a PR back.
"Devin has gotten me back into coding. As an engineering leader, I got into this field to build things, and Devin has made that experience great again by handling the tedious parts."
