The short answer

Pick Tembo to run Claude Code, Codex or others on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket events. Pick Devin for Cognition's agent and its integrations.

Read this first

The useful distinction

Tembo: an agent orchestration platform that runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Amp, OpenCode or Pi in a dedicated cloud VM per session, from GitHub, Linear, Jira, Slack, Sentry or PagerDuty events, and opens pull requests.

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.

Where it taps outPro caps at 5 users and medium sandboxes. Sandboxes are destroyed after the session. The API documents no webhooks. API keys expire after 90 days by default.You cannot bring your own model keys. Ambiguous senior-scope work is out of scope by Cognition's own 2025 review. Quotas are opaque.

Decision

When each side wins

Tembo wins when

  • You want Cursor, Amp or Pi as well as Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode.
  • Your repositories are on GitLab or Bitbucket, or one change spans several repositories.
  • You need a self-hosted or VPC option and SOC 2 Type II.

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.

Rush

Where Rush sits

Rush is on Tembo's side of the split, the vendors' own CLIs, with a free plan, webhooks and runs that park and resume.

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  • There is no self-hosted or customer-VPC deployment, and we do not publish a compliance report today.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.
