Devin by Cognition vs Factory
Takes engineering tasks from tickets or chat and ships pull requests for your team to review.
Droids that take a backlog item, implement it, review it and ship it through your existing tools.
Editor's framing updated 19 October 2026.
How we pick: no paid placement; facts come from vendor pages.
How to choose
Devin and Factory both take whole engineering tasks and both are listed for code generation and bug fixing; Factory's listing adds code review. Their listings record different review settings: Devin is recorded with human review required, with work arriving as a pull request for your team to review, while Factory is recorded with optional review and approval checkpoints inside its workflows. Devin is recorded as needing configuration and Factory as a developer setup. Use the table to compare the recorded facts, then decide by where your tasks start today, such as tickets, chat or the command line, and how you want finished work to reach review.
Our takeNo winner is declared here. Decide how much sign-off you want before a change lands, and start from the tools your engineers already assign work in.
