Amp alternatives in detail

  1. Devin

    freemiumAgent

    Devin is Cognition's autonomous AI software engineer. You hand it a task — a bug, refactor, or ticket — and it works unattended in a sandboxed cloud VM with an editor, terminal, and browser, then opens a pull request you review. Trigger it from Slack, Teams, or Linear, run sessions in parallel, and pay through usage quotas plus prepaid on-demand credits.

  2. Claude Code

    paidCLI

    Claude Code is Anthropic's official agentic coding tool for the terminal, IDE (VS Code, JetBrains), and web. It works as an agent rather than autocomplete: it reads your codebase, plans changes, edits files, runs commands, and iterates against test or build feedback. Extensible via MCP servers, slash commands, subagents, and hooks; requires a paid plan.

  3. Codex CLI

    open sourceCLI

    Codex CLI is OpenAI's open-source (Apache-2.0) terminal coding agent: it reads files, edits them on disk, and runs shell commands in an OS-level sandbox with network off by default and, in trusted folders, workspace-scoped writes. Sandbox modes and approval policies control what it can do and when it must ask; sign in with a ChatGPT plan or API key.

  4. Cody

    enterpriseExtension

    Cody is Sourcegraph's AI coding assistant for the IDE, grounded in codebase-wide context: it uses Sourcegraph's Search API to fetch relevant definitions, references, and files — across many repos on Enterprise — so answers and edits reference how your code actually works. Now Enterprise-only; the Free and Pro tiers were discontinued in 2025.

  5. Cursor

    freemiumIDE

    Cursor is an AI-first code editor forked from VS Code, so extensions, themes, and keybindings carry over. It layers on tab completion, inline natural-language edits, an agent mode that reads, writes, and runs commands across files, and parallel agents across repos and worktrees. Freemium: a free Hobby tier, with Pro and Teams raising included usage.

  6. Factory

    paidAgent

    Factory is an agent-native software development platform. Its autonomous coding agents, called Droids, plan, write, test, and ship code across the terminal (Droid CLI), IDE, and web, pulling in organizational context from GitHub, Jira, Slack, and your codebase. It targets individual developers and enterprise engineering teams.

  7. Goose

    open sourceAgent

    Goose is an open-source (Apache-2.0), general-purpose AI agent that runs entirely on your machine — it executes shell commands, edits files, runs tests, and chains multi-step tasks. MCP-native with 70+ documented extensions and model-agnostic across 15+ providers including local models, it ships as a Rust CLI and a desktop app for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
