Quick answer
The local whoburnedmore CLI command is npx whoburnedmore --local. Decline its optional publish offer to keep the report local. The standard command signs in and submits daily aggregates. Neither mode submits prompts, source code, or filenames.
What this guide answers
The reader is comparing autonomous agents with terminal coding assistants.
Best for
Engineering teams deciding how to route work between Devin and Claude Code.
Key facts, checked November 8, 2026
- Current Devin plans are Free, Pro at $20/month, Max at $200/month, Teams at an $80/month minimum plus $40/month per full seat (up to 200 users), and custom Enterprise. source
- Devin quotas are shared across Devin sessions, the CLI and Desktop, and refresh automatically. Extra usage can be prepaid as on-demand credit that never expires, with optional auto-reload and default session spending limits. source
- Claude Code is included on Claude Pro ($20/month), Max ($100/month) and Ultra ($200/month), or can be billed at API rates through a Console account. source
- Anthropic puts typical enterprise Claude Code spend at about $13 per developer per active day, and below $30 per active day for 90% of users. source
Route by uncertainty
Unclear architecture and ambiguous product tradeoffs need human steering. Repetitive chores with clear acceptance criteria are better candidates for autonomy.
- High uncertainty: Claude Code.
- Clear chore: Devin.
- Mixed task: plan first.
Include review cost
An autonomous agent can produce more code than a developer can review comfortably. Cost comparison must include the human review time after the agent finishes.
- Diff size
- Test reliability
- Security impact
- Rollback risk
Measure local token baseline
Before buying autonomy, measure what the same class of work costs in Claude Code or Codex. The baseline makes Devin spend easier to judge, whether that is self-serve quota with dollar-billed extra usage or Enterprise ACUs.
- Same task type.
- Same repo.
- Same done criteria.
Use both intentionally
The mature workflow is not one winner. Use Claude Code for interactive development and Devin-style agents for bounded delegated work with strong review gates.
- Interactive
- Delegated
- Reviewed
- Measured
The two products now price the same way at the low end
With ACUs gone from self-serve plans, Devin and Claude Code now look alike at the entry tiers. Each has a $20 personal plan and a $200 top plan with recurring allowances, plus extra usage when you go over. Claude Code runs out against a 5-hour session limit and a weekly limit on Pro and Max, and only a weekly limit on Ultra. Devin uses daily and weekly allowances, weekly only on Max. Comparing them now means comparing how far each allowance gets you on the same task class, not converting ACUs to dollars.
- Same $20 entry price, different allowance shapes
- Overage: Claude usage credits or API billing, versus Devin extra usage at API pricing
- Enterprise Devin contracts are still in ACUs, so ask for your contracted rate
Count reviewer time as part of the price
A delegated Devin session returns a finished pull request, so most of the human cost lands at review. A Claude Code session spends human time throughout as you steer it, but usually produces smaller diffs. For a fair test, run three to five tasks of one class, such as dependency bumps, flaky-test fixes or small endpoints, through each tool. Record plan usage consumed, minutes of human steering, minutes of review, and whether the change merged without rework.
What you can measure locally
whoburnedmore reads Claude Code's local logs and reports daily token totals and estimated cost. It does not read Devin usage, including the Devin CLI and Desktop app. Devin's usage lives under Settings, Usage and limits. Use npx whoburnedmore for the Claude Code side and Devin's dashboard for the other, and compare them per merged task.
Common questions
Does Devin still charge per ACU?
Not on self-serve plans. Since April 2026, Free, Pro, Max and Teams use quotas plus dollar-billed extra usage. Enterprise contracts can still be priced in ACUs.
Is Devin more expensive than Claude Code?
Entry plans are both $20/month and top personal plans are both $200/month. The real difference is how much finished work each allowance buys for your tasks, plus review time.
Can I track Devin usage with whoburnedmore?
No. whoburnedmore does not read Devin, including its CLI and Desktop app. Use Devin's Usage and limits settings, and use npx whoburnedmore for Claude Code.
