Decision

When each side wins

Devin wins when

  • The ticket already lives in Linear or Jira and should become a Devin session.

  • You need Enterprise dedicated deployment with the Brain still at Cognition.

Cursor Cloud Agents win when

  • The team already pays for Cursor and has an environment snapshot.
  • You want computer-use artifacts and a shareable agent URL.
  • You accept auto-run terminals and the documented exfil risk.

When neither

  • Neither runs your Claude Code or Codex binary as the primary engine. That is the Rush row.
