Plans and usage: keep the bill predictable

With an agent you are paying for work done, not for a seat. That makes the bill harder to predict than a normal subscription, unless you know the few rules behind it.

Read the steps as text

1. Plan. Free, Pro, Max or Teams sets the monthly price and what is included.
2. Quota. Work draws on the plan's allowance, which refreshes automatically.
3. On-demand credits. Past the quota, prepaid credits cover further work. Purchased credits do not expire.
4. Limits. Admins set auto-reload thresholds and a default spending limit per session.

The self-serve plans

These are the plans in Cognition’s billing docs, checked on November 12, 2026. Prices change, so confirm on the pricing page before you commit.

Plan	Price	Members	What is included
Free	$0	1	Limited Devin usage, plus Devin Review and DeepWiki
Pro	$20 a month	1	A daily and weekly quota for sessions, Devin CLI and Devin Desktop
Max	$200 a month	1	A larger weekly quota with no daily cap
Teams	$80 a month minimum	Up to 200	Shared on-demand credits, plus optional full seats

Pro and Max are for one person. A team needs the Teams plan.

How Teams seats work

• A full seat costs $40 a month. It includes a Pro-sized daily and weekly quota and access to Devin Desktop.
• A flex seat costs nothing. It has no quota of its own, uses the team’s shared credits, and does not include Devin Desktop.

Two full seats meet the $80 minimum. With fewer than two, the rest of the $80 is charged as prepaid credits for the whole team.

What counts toward usage

Counts:

• the actions Devin takes, such as planning, gathering context, running tasks, browser actions and running code
• virtual machine time, which the docs call typically a small fraction of the total

Does not count:

• waiting for your reply
• waiting for a test suite to run
• setting up and cloning repositories
• a sleeping session, apart from the small amount needed to keep its machine alive

A session goes to sleep after 30 minutes without activity. Lite sessions and sessions created through the API sleep after 5 minutes.

When the quota runs out

Past the quota, work is paid for with on-demand credits. They are prepaid, they roll over month to month, and purchased credits do not expire. You buy them, or turn on auto-reload, under Settings > Plans. Admins set auto-reload thresholds and a default spending limit per session under Settings > Usage & limits.

Spending less

Cognition’s own tips are the same habits that make Devin more reliable:

• give Devin clearly scoped tasks with a well-defined end goal
• keep prompts and sessions short
• do not put many different tasks in one session
• split big projects into sub-tasks and run them in parallel

Devin Coach also flags inefficient prompts in the input box before you send them.

Enterprise

Enterprise plans are billed differently from the self-serve plans above. Our guide to Devin plans, usage and ACUs covers them.

You have finished the course

You now know what Devin is, where it runs, how to set it up, how to plan and scope a task, how to teach it with skills, how to review its work, and what it costs. For what changes next, Continuity tracks every Devin release by week.
