Devin's unit of work is an Agent Compute Unit, or ACU. It's a normalized measure of the computing resources Devin uses to complete a task, such as virtual machine time, model inference, and networking bandwidth.

How am I charged for ACUs?

With the Core plan, you only pay for what you use (at $2.25 per ACU) and can customize your account's auto-recharge settings. With the Teams plan, your subscription includes 250 ACUs for $2.00 per ACU, with auto-recharge options.

How are ACUs consumed?

Devin consumes ACUs when actively working on a task or when the virtual machine is running. Consumption depends on task complexity, prompt quality, codebase size, and session runtime.

Who owns the code generated by Devin?

All inputs and outputs are considered your intellectual property, regardless of the plan, as stated in the Terms of Service.
