Lumbridge vs Devin
An autonomous software engineer that runs in the cloud or on your machine, tests in its own browser and works until the pull request is ready to merge. Lumbridge is the open engine a company runs on when agents do the work: terminals, mail, notes, library, voice and a software factory on your own machines.
Devin
Pick Devin if you want to hand whole tasks to a hosted engineer today and get pull requests back, without running any infrastructure.

02 · Honestly
Where Devin is ahead.
- A released product that takes a task to a tested pull request, with each session in its own virtual machine.
- It splits a large task across parallel cloud agents, manages them and reports back.
- A code wiki with diagrams that it keeps up to date, and a review product that looks for bugs and vulnerabilities.
- Team plans with single sign-on, shared sessions and cost controls. Lumbridge has no accounts or teams yet.
03 · The difference
What Lumbridge adds.
- Open source and self-hosted on your own Ubuntu machines. Devin offers a private cloud deployment on its Enterprise plan.
- Factory works with a builder and a separate reviewer, and a change is ready only when checks, review and current main all agree on the same commit.
- Core and the App run any agent CLI you choose, side by side.
- Mail, Notes, Voice, Speak and Computer are parts of the same stack.
