Cognition upgrades Devin Teams, giving the whole team Desktop access

Cognition has upgraded Devin Teams. The whole team can use Desktop without extra seats, and each user gets two concurrent free SWE-2 sessions.

At a glance

  • The plan is listed at US$80 a month, plus US$40 a month per full dev seat, and is now capped at 100 users, down from 200. Cognition also says it will retire quota seats on the Teams plan in 30 days.
  • Every user gets two concurrent sessions in a new Free mode, run on Cognition's SWE-2 model, and can pay for more. Free SWE-2 in Devin Desktop and the CLI is becoming a permanent part of the Teams, Pro and Max plans.
  • Admins can turn on SSO with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or any other SAML or OIDC provider, and can switch off email login once that's connected. They can also set usage limits with up to three tiers, and a request flow when someone needs more.
  • A standard Business Associate Agreement is available to Teams customers from Settings, without an enterprise contract. Eligible startups can also apply to Devin for Startups for US$15,000 in credits and up to US$50,000 in matching grants.

Cognition has upgraded its Devin Teams plan, according to a company blog post dated 12 November 2026. Everyone on a Teams account can now use Devin Desktop without paying for additional Desktop seats, and each user gets two concurrent sessions in a new Free mode, powered by Cognition’s own SWE-2 model.

The current pricing page lists Teams at US$80 a month for the plan, plus US$40 a month per full dev seat. Cognition says a full user comes with “their own generous quota.” Extra usage above the included allowance can be bought at API pricing.

Free SWE-2 sessions

Free mode runs on SWE-2, the coding model Cognition introduced in September. The company says every Teams user gets two of those sessions at a time, and can always pay for more. It is also making free SWE-2 in Devin Desktop and the CLI a permanent part of the Teams, Pro and Max plans. In early November it had offered SWE-2 Flash for free to those same plans until the end of the month.

In the Teams post, Cognition says SWE-2 “performs close to the frontier models at a fraction of their cost, and it gets to work faster by focusing on the parts of your codebase that matter for the task.” Its September write-up put the model at 50.0% on FrontierCode 1.1 Main, within one point of Claude Fable 5.1, and said it was 64% cheaper on that test.

SSO, usage limits and a BAA

Teams admins can now turn on single sign-on with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or any other SAML or OIDC identity provider, and can switch off email login once SSO is connected. They can also set a usage limit for each user, with up to three tiers so different groups can have different caps. When someone needs more, they send a request, and the admin chooses whether those requests wait for approval or are approved automatically up to a maximum the admin sets. Devin Coach, the blog says, can also give an engineer feedback on a prompt before it is sent, such as suggesting a lighter mode for a small task.

A standard Business Associate Agreement is now on offer to Teams customers, and admins can request it from Settings. The company says that lets a healthcare startup get a BAA without signing an enterprise contract.

Startup credits, and what’s changing

In a follow-up post, Cognition said it is also expanding access to Devin for Startups, where eligible teams can apply for up to US$65,000 in credits “and more.” The programme page breaks that into US$15,000 in credits loaded on approval, and matching grants of up to US$50,000. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Accepted startups also get what the page calls unlimited seats, plus events and a swag pack.

The blog’s “What’s changing” note is more tightly drawn. Cognition says it will retire quota seats on the Teams plan in 30 days, and that Teams plans are now limited to 100 seats, down from 200.
