Claude Code and Devin solve similar problems but fit into very different developer workflows. One feels like an extension of your editor. The other feels like delegating work to a teammate and reviewing it later.
We broke down the differences through real day-to-day usage: where the tool lives, who drives the work, and when async actually helps. No feature grids. Just how these tools behave in practice.

Claude Code and Devin are AI coding assistants with fundamentally different workflows. Claude Code integrates directly into your editor for synchronous, interactive coding sessions where you maintain control. Devin operates asynchronously as an autonomous agent that you delegate tasks to and review later, similar to working with a remote teammate. The choice depends on whether you prefer hands-on collaboration or task delegation in your development process.
