Cognition revamps Devin pricing with new tiers, compute billing

Cognition is replacing Devin’s Core and Team plans with a five-tier lineup: Free, Pro, Max, Teams, and Enterprise. Previously free tools like Ask Devin, Devin Review, and DeepWiki now move to usage-based billing tied to compute costs.

TL;DR

  • Pricing overhaul (Apr 14, 2026): Core/Team retired; new tiers and broader shift to compute-based usage billing
  • New plans: Free, Pro $20/month, Max $200/month, Teams usage-based ($80/month minimum), Enterprise custom
  • Billing mechanics: Included usage counts against quota; self-serve overages billed in dollars; Enterprise stays on ACUs
  • Customer migrations: Core → Free, Team → Teams (replaces $500/month minimum), Enterprise unchanged
  • Compute-heavy tools now billable: Ask Devin, Devin Review, DeepWiki draw from quota, then dollar-based usage (Enterprise: ACUs)
  • Devin Review changes: 2-week free trial, then usage-based (~$2–$3/run); run controls; “every commit” → “PR opened”; OSS free

Cognition’s Devin is reshaping its self-serve pricing, retiring the previous Core and Team plans in favor of a five-tier lineup that aims to better match how individuals and teams actually adopt agentic coding tools over time.

The update, dated April 14, 2026, also marks a broader shift: several products that have been free until now—Ask Devin, DeepWiki, and Devin Review—will move to usage-based billing, with pricing tied to the compute consumed.

A new self-serve lineup: Free, Pro, Max, Teams, Enterprise

Cognition’s new self-serve plans are:

  • Free — Free
  • Pro — $20/month, with included quota
  • Max — $200/month, with larger included quota
  • Teams — usage-based, with a minimum spend of $80/month
  • Enterprise — custom pricing

Positioning-wise, Free is framed as an on-ramp with limited access and selected features, while Pro and Max target individuals who want ongoing paid usage at different intensities. Teams adds collaboration features like centralized billing and admin controls, while Enterprise remains the destination for larger organizations and negotiated requirements.

One notable mechanics change: for self-serve customers, usage included in a plan will count against quota. If usage exceeds that included amount, overages will be billed in dollars rather than ACUs. Enterprise billing stays on ACUs.

What happens to existing Core, Team, and Enterprise customers

The migration path is straightforward:

  • Core → Free: Core users will be moved onto Free, but the new Free tier does not preserve the prior no-minimum pay-as-you-go structure. Continued paid usage beyond Free requires switching to a paid tier (Pro, Max, or Teams depending on needs).
  • Team → Teams: Team users move to the new Teams plan, which replaces the older $500/month entry point with a lower minimum spend and usage-based billing.
  • Enterprise → no change: Existing Enterprise agreements are unaffected by this update.

Ask Devin, Devin Review, and DeepWiki start reflecting compute cost

Cognition is also beginning to charge for three compute-heavy products:

  • Ask Devin
  • Devin Review
  • DeepWiki

For self-serve customers, these tools will pull from included quota first, then shift to dollar-based usage billing beyond that, based on the underlying model cost per run. For Enterprise customers, billing stays aligned with ACUs.

The company also ties the billing change to improved product controls and clearer guidance around cost—particularly important when agent workflows can run automatically and frequently.

Ask Devin: usage-based billing

Ask Devin is moving to usage-based billing, aligning it with the broader “use more, pay more” model applied to Devin’s agent work.

Devin Review: trial period and controls for when reviews run

Devin Review is transitioning from a temporary free preview to a model that includes a 2-week free trial, after which reviews become usage-based. Cognition says a typical review run is expected to cost around $2–$3.

To avoid unpredictable billing, Devin Review will also add controls for when reviews run:

  • Manual only
  • Run when a PR is first opened
  • Run on every commit

Accounts currently set to “run on every commit” will be migrated to “run when a PR is first opened.” Separately, Devin Review for open source repos will remain free.

DeepWiki: current generation stays free, premium modes become billable

DeepWiki and deepwiki.com will remain free with the existing generation experience. Going forward, Cognition plans to offer higher-quality generation options—using stronger models and “deeper thinking”—that will be subject to usage-based billing, with the ability to choose which mode to use.

To close: this pricing overhaul is explicitly framed around smoothing the path from trial to regular use, lowering the entry point for teams, and aligning pricing with the reality of running compute-intensive agent and review workflows.
