Neither product is ours. Rush is, and it gets one paragraph below. Every cell is from the vendor's own pages.

The short answer

Pick Devin for Cognition's agent and Enterprise VPC or Outposts. Pick Factory for Droid in every surface and a computer that stays awake.

Read this first

The useful distinction

Devin: Cognition's own autonomous software engineer. It plans, writes, tests, and ships in a cloud Devbox. The Brain always stays in Cognition's cloud.

Factory Droids: Factory's own coding agents across terminal, IDE, browser, and Slack. Persistent Droid Computers keep the machine awake between sessions.

Decision

When each side wins

Devin wins when

  • You want Cognition's agent with Slack, Teams, Linear and Jira triggers built in.
  • You need pull requests on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or Azure DevOps, and stacked pull requests on GitHub.
  • You need Enterprise dedicated VPC or Outposts that run execution on your machines.

Factory Droids wins when

  • You want one agent across terminal, IDE, browser and Slack.
  • You want a persistent managed computer that keeps packages and files.
  • You want a registry of 40+ MCP servers and the droid mcp CLI.

Rush

Where Rush sits

Rush is the third option: not a new agent, but Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode with a machine that parks for free between turns.

Honest limits

Skip Rush if

  • Rush runs three agents: Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode. It does not host an agent you wrote yourself.
  • Repositories come through the Rush GitHub App. A GitLab or Bitbucket repository cannot be a run's repository yet.
  • There is no self-hosted or customer-VPC deployment, and we do not publish a compliance report today.
  • Compute is metered. Free includes 5 agent-hours a month and Pro 40, each with a weekly ceiling.
  • You review the pull request. Rush does not merge for you.
