Where the Difference Shows

Recurring Work at Volume

Dependency updates and failed-build triage run many times a week, so cost grows with every run.

Devin: Each run draws credits or ACUs metered on Devin's actions, VM time, and bandwidth.

Felan: Each run pays provider rates with no markup, on a cheaper model when the task allows.

Code That Stays in Your Network

Security needs code, prompts, and inference inside your perimeter.

Devin: With Outposts, tools run on your machines, but inference and planning stay in Devin's cloud.

Felan: On Enterprise, the whole agent runs on your infrastructure, with local or private models if you need them.

Model Contracts You Already Have

Your team already pays a model provider directly, or has a subscription.

Devin: Usage is billed through Devin credits; no bring-your-own-keys option is published.

Felan: Bring your own keys or subscription, and agents run against the contract you already have.

Common Questions

Is Felan a Devin alternative?

Yes, for teams that want background agents with local or private models, their own model keys, provider-rate billing, and the option to self-host. Both start agents from a person or a team tool and return work for review.

Does Devin let you choose the model?

Yes. Devin offers models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Cognition, and open-source families such as DeepSeek and Kimi. Felan also supports local and private models, and lets you bring your own keys or subscription.

When is Devin a better fit?

When you want one vendor for the agent, a CLI, and a desktop app, and are comfortable paying for usage in Devin credits. Cognition says Devin works best on clearly specified tasks of roughly 4–8 hours of junior-engineer work.

Can I self-host Felan?

Yes, on the Enterprise plan. Devin's Customer Dedicated Deployment is hosted by Cognition, and Outposts keep inference and planning in Devin's cloud.

How does Felan pricing compare with Devin?

Felan Team is €99 per month for the whole team, not per seat, and model usage is billed at provider rates with no markup. Devin Teams starts at $80 per month with $40 full seats, and usage is billed in credits.
