Cline's client is free and open source; you pay for model usage as you go, with Cline credits at cost or your own provider API key. Devin Desktop has a Free plan with a light quota; beyond it, Pro is $20 per month with daily and weekly quotas, and extra usage is billed at API list prices.
Cline runs with local models through Ollama, LM Studio or Atomic Chat, and accepts any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Devin Desktop offers Cognition's SWE models, Claude, GPT, Gemini, xAI and open models such as GLM and Kimi as hosted models; its pages do not document local models or your own API keys.
Cline is Apache-2.0 open source, except its JetBrains plugin, and its Enterprise plan deploys in a VPC, on-prem or air-gapped. Devin Desktop's Enterprise plan deploys in your VPC; the vendor states that fully air-gapped on-prem versions are still being finalized, and its pages do not document an open-source client.
Devin Desktop is a full IDE derived from VS Code, with Tab completions on every plan including Free, and it indexes the local codebase by default. Cline runs inside existing editors, its pages do not document as-you-type completion, and it reads files and runs ripgrep searches instead of building an index.
Both list a VS Code extension. Cline's is its main product and runs its full agent. Devin Desktop's is the older Windsurf plugin, in maintenance mode, with autocomplete, chat and command but not the Devin Desktop agents.
Devin Cloud, included from Pro, runs each session on its own VM with a desktop, browser and computer use, and keeps working after you close your laptop. Cline's background, scheduled and parallel agents run on your own machines.
Devin Desktop lists a Teams plan: $80 per month for the team plus $40 per month for each full seat, with an admin dashboard and analytics; SSO is Enterprise-only. Cline's team features, including SSO and the admin dashboard, are on its Enterprise plan, which is custom-priced.
Devin Desktop documents SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Cline lists SOC 2 without a report type and does not document ISO 27001; it states it does not receive or store your code when you use your own API keys. Neither documents HIPAA.

| Devin Desktop | Cline | |
|---|---|---|
| Own standalone code editor | Yes Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) is derived from VS Code: the vendor calls its user data directory VS Code-derived and says it is backwards-compatible with VS Code; extensions come from an Open VSX mirror. | No Cline runs inside existing editors. Cline for Desktop (beta) is a standalone agent app for macOS and Windows, not a code editor. |
| Extension for VS Code | Yes Windsurf Plugin (formerly Codeium) for VS Code, in maintenance mode; provides Autocomplete, Chat and Command, not the Devin Desktop agents. | Yes Free and open source; installed from the VS Code Marketplace (Open VSX for Windsurf and VSCodium). |
| Plugin for JetBrains IDEs | Yes Windsurf JetBrains plugin (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm and others) is in maintenance mode and its Cascade agent is being deprecated; the vendor recommends running Devin inside JetBrains IDEs over ACP instead. | Yes Labelled "Early Access". The pricing page lists "JetBrains Extension" under Enterprise features, while the IDE page and docs offer it to everyone. Unlike the rest of Cline, the JetBrains plugin is not open source. |
| Command-line (terminal) agent | Yes Devin CLI, installed separately; shares the Devin Local agent harness and the same Devin plan usage. | Yes Installed with `npm i -g cline`; interactive, one-shot and headless (CI/CD) modes. |
| Other editors supported | Visual Studio, Vim, Neovim, Emacs, Xcode, Sublime Text, Eclipse, Jupyter Notebook Through Windsurf Plugins, which the vendor lists as older plugins in maintenance mode. | Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, Antigravity (extension); Zed, Neovim, Emacs and other ACP clients (via the CLI) The ACP docs also cover Emacs (agent-shell) and JetBrains AI Assistant, which can run Cline through the CLI with `cline --acp`. |
| Devin Desktop | Cline | |
|---|---|---|
| Inline code completion (autocomplete) | Yes Tab (Supercomplete or classic Autocomplete mode) with Tab to Jump and Tab to Import; unlimited on every plan including Free. | Not documented Not documented on vendor pages |
| Agent that edits across multiple files | Yes Devin Local is the default local agent; Cascade is the legacy agent. Third-party ACP agents (Codex, Claude Agent, OpenCode, Junie, Gemini CLI) can also run inside Devin Desktop on Pro, Max and Teams. | Yes Plan mode drafts a strategy; Act mode makes the edits, with per-step approval or auto-approve. |
| Agent runs terminal commands | Yes Runs with user permission, controlled by allow/ask/deny rules (Devin Local) or auto-execution levels (Cascade); Teams and Enterprise admins can cap the level and set team-wide allow/deny lists. | Yes |
| Cloud / background agents | Yes Devin Cloud, included with Pro, Max and Teams and drawing on the shared plan quota; Enterprise admins must enable it. Local subagents can also run in the background. | Yes Runs on your own machines, not in vendor cloud: CLI Zen mode, cron-scheduled agents and parallel Kanban agents run through a local hub process, and headless runs work in CI. Not available in the VS Code or JetBrains extension. No vendor-hosted cloud agents are documented. |
| Pull request code review | Yes Devin Review, a separate Devin product in the web app, reviews GitHub, GitLab and Azure DevOps pull requests and draws on the same Devin plan usage. Inside the editor, Quick Review reviews local agent changes (SWE-check model free on all tiers). | Yes A GitHub Actions workflow you set up yourself with the Cline CLI, paying only for inference. Not a separate managed review product. |
| Codebase indexing / semantic code search | Yes Local codebase indexed by default; Pro gets higher indexing limits; Teams and Enterprise can also index remote repositories. | No By design, Cline reads files and runs ripgrep-powered search instead of building an index or embeddings. |
| MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers | Yes stdio, Streamable HTTP and SSE servers with OAuth; Devin Local adds an MCP marketplace. Enterprise users must turn MCP on in settings, and admins can allowlist servers. | Yes Includes an MCP Marketplace for one-click installs. Enterprise can allowlist MCP servers. |
| Project rules / custom instruction files | Yes Global, workspace (.devin/rules/, legacy .windsurf/rules/ and .windsurfrules), AGENTS.md and admin-deployed system rules; .cursor/rules can be imported. | Yes Also supports global custom instructions and Skills. |
| Checkpoints to roll back agent edits | Yes Documented for the legacy Cascade agent (reverts cannot be undone). Not documented for the default Devin Local agent, which offers worktree sessions instead. | Yes Enabled by default; kept in a shadow Git repository separate from your project history. |

| Local / self-hosted models | Not documented Not documented on vendor pages | Yes |
| How paid-plan usage is limited | Daily and weekly token-based quota; extra usage billed at API list prices Cost per request depends on the model's token price; free models do not count against the quota. Pro, Max and Teams can buy extra usage; Free waits for the next reset. | Pay-as-you-go inference credits at model cost, or your own API keys; ClinePass quota measured over 5-hour, weekly and monthly windows The pricing page lists "Purchase and Model Inference at Cost or BYOK". ClinePass ($9.99/month) measures usage against a 5-hour rolling window, the calendar week and the calendar month. |
| Open-source client | Not documented Not documented on vendor pages | Yes Apache-2.0. The GitHub README says the JetBrains plugin is not open-sourced. |
| Devin Desktop | Cline | |
|---|---|---|
| Zero data retention option | Yes Not the default: paid-plan customers who opt out of training get Zero Data Retention with the model providers (on Teams only an admin can opt out). | Yes Applies when you use your own API keys and route model calls through infrastructure you control, on any plan including the free one. Your model provider's retention terms still apply. No zero-retention commitment is documented for Cline-managed inference. |
| Code excluded from model training | Yes Conditional: by default data may be used for training; paid plans can opt out (on Teams only an admin); Enterprise data is never used for training without prior written consent. | Yes Conditions: Terms §3.5 say third-party AI model providers "may use User Content for training unless you have explicitly opted out". The free-models docs say free-model usage "may be used to help improve model performance and quality". |
| Self-hosted or on-premises deployment | Yes Enterprise only per the pricing comparison. The vendor states that fully air-gapped, on-prem versions of Devin Desktop and Devin CLI are still being finalized. | Yes Enterprise. Inference can run through your own Amazon Bedrock, GCP Vertex, Azure OpenAI or local models. |
| Team admin dashboard and usage analytics | Yes Teams and Enterprise. Team analytics include percent of code written by AI, lines written, tool calls and consumption. | Yes Enterprise plan. The enterprise docs list per-team cost breakdowns, real-time analytics and OpenTelemetry export. |
