CodeHero Alternatives · Devin
A Devin alternative for business software on your own computer or server.
Devin is an AI software engineer that works in sessions: with Outposts, a session can run its commands on machines you manage, while its agent loop and model calls stay in Devin's cloud. CodeHero PRO runs the whole factory, planning included, on your own computer or server. This page compares the two for business software.

Who this comparison is for
An organisation that wants software for its own work and is choosing between an AI engineer that a development team directs and a factory that a person who knows the business directs.
Where the work happens, and who decides
| Devin | CodeHero PRO | |
|---|---|---|
| Planning and model calls | In Devin's cloud: its documentation says the agent loop and inference stay there, also with Outposts. | On your own computer or server; connected AI services receive the context of each step, or local models keep it inside. |
| Commands, file edits, repositories | In Devin's cloud, or with Outposts on infrastructure you manage — your own VMs, containers or Kubernetes clusters. | On your own computer or server, in each project's own environment. |
| Who gives the requirements | The person who starts a session describes the task. | An interview with the person who knows the work, a written specification and a plan they approve before building starts. |
| Who checks the work | Set by the team that uses it. | By default a model from a different AI company checks every build against the agreed rules; repairs are checked again. |
| Cost unit | Plans from Free ($0) and Pro ($20 a month) to Max ($200 a month); Teams $80 a month plus $40 per full user; Enterprise on request. | An organisation licence from €24,000 a year, or a licence through a partner from €300 a month; AI paid directly to the AI company. |
When Devin fits
- A development team that wants an AI engineer to take tasks in its own repositories, and is fine with planning and model calls in Devin's cloud.
- Developers who want cloud agents next to their own editor and terminal.
When CodeHero PRO fits
- Business software whose rules are known by the people of the business, not only by developers — and must hold through every later change.
- An organisation that wants the platform, the planning, the applications and their record on its own computer or server.
CodeHero PRO in short
- It interviews the person who knows the business, writes the specification, plans, builds, has the work checked by a second AI of another provider, hosts the application (domains, SSL, project containers, backups) and maintains it with a record of every decision and change.
- Everything of the factory runs on your own computer or server with Ubuntu 24.04: the panel, the planning and the scheduler, the agents' commands, the project files, databases and containers, and the project record.
- It runs Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and Grok Build as agents, and models through their APIs. The AI models are yours to choose: connected providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, GLM, xAI Grok, Qwen, OpenRouter) receive the context of each step; local models through Ollama, vLLM or LM Studio keep the model on your own hardware.
- An organisation licence, from €24,000 a year, or — for a small business or an individual — a licence through a partner, from €300 a month; the AI services are paid by you directly to the AI company.

Questions people ask
All the articlesHow does CodeHero compare with other AI coding tools?
It is a different kind of thing. Coding tools help a person who writes code. CodeHero does the whole job — asks, plans, builds, checks, hosts and maintains — for the person who knows the business. Read the article
If CodeHero writes the code, what is my role?
You become the advisor: you decide the business rules, approve the plan and accept the result. CodeHero is the developer that asks, builds, checks and maintains. Read the article
Do my passwords and keys reach the AI company?
Not the ones you store as secrets (eight characters or longer): your application uses them, but their values are not sent to the AI service. A password typed into a chat message or shown in a screenshot cannot be recognised — store every password as a secret. Read the article
