Cursor vs Devin

Our take

Pick Cursor if software engineers already in git who want an agent in the editor. Pick Devin if engineers who will let an agent open PRs and will watch the quota. Skip Cursor if non-developers, or teams that cannot send code to a third-party model API. Skip Devin if people who want an IDE with Tab (Cursor, GitHub Copilot) and will not run Devin sessions.
