Devin vs Supermaven
Pricing
Devin: From $500/mo
Supermaven: Being sunset since November 2025, free autocomplete for existing users
Description
Devin: Autonomous AI software engineer that takes tasks, writes code, runs tests, and submits PRs on its own
Supermaven: Fast AI code completion that Cursor acquired in 2024 and began shutting down in November 2025
Pros
- Can work on tasks independently while you do other things
- Handles the full cycle: plan, code, test, debug, submit PR
- Learns your codebase conventions over time
- Existing JetBrains and Neovim customers keep free autocomplete
- Fast completions, with a 1 million token context window on the Pro plan
Cons
- $500/mo minimum makes this a serious commitment for a solo founder
- Results vary wildly: great for routine tasks, unpredictable for complex ones
- You still need to review its work carefully
- Agent chat was discontinued in November 2025
- VS Code users have been told to move to Cursor
- No new features: the product is being wound down
Details
Devin works more independently than most AI coding tools. You assign it a task (“fix this bug,” “add this feature,” “set up CI/CD”) and it goes away, works on it, and comes back with a pull request. You do not sit and watch; it works asynchronously.
The $500/month price tag is steep for solo founders, and that is the honest reality. The people getting value from Devin are those with more tasks than time, who can keep it busy with well-defined work. If you have 3 bug fixes and 2 small features to ship this week and cannot hire a developer, Devin might pay for itself. If you are pre-revenue and watching every dollar, this is not where you start.
Supermaven was the speed king of AI code completion. Built by the creator of Tabnine, it focused on autocomplete with very low latency and a massive context window. Cursor acquired Supermaven in November 2024 and folded its technology into the Cursor editor.
On 21 November 2025 Supermaven announced its sunset. Agent conversations ended, paying customers received refunds for their remaining time, and VS Code users were told to move to Cursor. Existing JetBrains and Neovim customers keep free autocomplete for the foreseeable future. There is no reason to start with Supermaven today: Cursor carries its completion technology, GitHub Copilot works in VS Code and JetBrains, and Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) offers unlimited Tab completions on its free plan.
