| Best for | Delegated issue work, async PR generation, engineering throughput | Self-hosted autonomous agents, model-agnostic workflows, open-source teams |
Devin is proprietary and best for delegated issue work, async pr generation, engineering throughput. Cognition's autonomous cloud agent. Assign issues or tasks; Devin works asynchronously — creating branches, writing code, running tests, and opening PRs. Self-serve plans use token quotas (March 2026); Enterprise uses ACUs.
OpenHands is open source and best for self-hosted autonomous agents, model-agnostic workflows, open-source teams. Leading open-source autonomous coding agent framework (formerly OpenDevin). Self-host or use cloud. SWE-bench scores depend on the model and agent config — frontier models on OpenHands reach 70–95% in public leaderboards.
Both tools are part of the 2026 AI coding agent landscape. The right choice depends on whether you need a cloud autonomous agent or a cloud autonomous agent, your budget, and which models you prefer. See the full list of coding agents on our coding agents page to compare more options.
