Cognition overhauled its Devin Teams plan on 12 November 2026, following Devin Review 2.0, by removing separate paid seat charges for Devin Desktop so every member of a Teams workspace can run the desktop environment at no extra per-seat fee. Alongside the desktop change, a new Free mode gives every Teams user two concurrent free coding sessions powered by Cognition’s in-house SWE-2 model, with free SWE-2 access in Devin Desktop and the Devin CLI also becoming a permanent fixture across Teams, Pro and Max plans.
Admin identity, three-tier cost caps and self-serve HIPAA BAAs
Workspace administrators gain SAML and OIDC single sign-on across Okta, Microsoft Entra ID and other identity providers, with an option to disable password and email login once SSO is active. New cost controls let admins assign per-user spend caps across up to three group tiers and choose whether over-limit requests wait for manual approval or auto-approve up to a preset ceiling, while Devin Coach reviews prompts before submission and recommends lighter execution modes for small edits.
Healthcare startups can now request a standard Business Associate Agreement (BAA) directly from product Settings on the Teams tier without negotiating a custom enterprise contract, and eligible early-stage companies can apply to Cognition’s startup programme for up to $65k in credits. As part of the restructuring, Cognition is retiring quota seats on Teams in 30 days and lowering the maximum Teams workspace cap from 200 seats to 100 seats.

Release details & context
SWE-2 positioning and recent Devin workflow updates
The Teams plan overhaul follows Cognition’s release of Devin Review 2.0 on 5 November 2026, which cut pull-request review costs fivefold, and coincides with Devin Desktop and CLI adding day-one support for Google’s Gemini 4 Hydrogen on 12 November 2026.
Cognition describes SWE-2 as its flagship proprietary coding model built to focus selectively on task-relevant repository files at a fraction of third-party frontier API costs, enabling permanent free SWE-2 usage in Devin Desktop and CLI across Pro, Max and Teams tiers while reserving paid compute credits for heavier concurrent runs.
