AI code review tools comment on pull requests, flag bugs and style issues, and sometimes suggest fixes, without replacing the human reviewer. They are not the same product as an AI coding assistant that writes the change. This comparison covers tools whose main job is review on a pull request or in the IDE, for teams that already have Git hosting.
Every provider is described with the same fields: published price, free plan versus trial, how review usage is metered, a security or admin note, and the main tradeoff. The order is not a quality ranking. Providers are sorted by the public entry price we could verify: a $0 plan or the lowest published list price first, and quote-led plans last.

| Provider | Published pricing | Review meter | Best for | Visit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sourcery | Open Source $0; Pro $12/seat/mo annual ($15 monthly); Team $24/seat/mo annual ($30 monthly) | PR review on every plan; private repos from Pro | Public repos, then small private teams | Visit → |

Pricing checked on October 2, 2026 against each vendor’s public pricing or plan page. Figures are list prices in US dollars unless noted. Free means a standing free plan, not a time-limited trial. Quote means we did not find a public list price.
Seat price and credit price answer different questions. A cheap seat with a tight review budget can cost more than a credit plan in a heavy release week.
What buyers are actually choosing
The practical split in 2026 is seat versus credit, and public-repo free versus private-repo paid. Coding assistants can draft the change. These tools sit on the pull request after that draft exists. Teams that already pay for Copilot or Cursor still add a reviewer when they want a second pass that is not the same model that wrote the code.
The 4 providers in detail
1. Sourcery
Public-repo entry
Best for: open-source maintainers and individuals who want PR review before a private-repo seat
| Published price | Open Source free; Pro $15/month or $12 annual; Team $30/month or $24 annual, per seat |
| Free vs trial | Standing free plan for public repositories; paid plans for private repos |
| Review limits | Docs list a per-PR token cap and a rolling 7-day budget; Pro is 300,000 per PR and 1,500,000 per seat per 7 days |
| Security scanning | Team plan; Open Source and Pro include a limited preview |
| Tradeoff | Open Source does not cover private repositories |
- Official plans page prices every plan per seat and includes code review on pull requests on Open Source, Pro, and Team.
- Private repositories start on Pro. Team adds analytics, security scanning, Jira autocreate from findings, and a security API.
- When the rolling budget is hit, Sourcery skips the review rather than billing an unstated overage.
2. Greptile
Free single-developer seat
Best for: a solo developer who wants PR review with a credit cap before adding seats
| Published price | Starter free; Pro $30 per seat per month; extra credits $1; Enterprise custom |
| Free vs trial | Standing Starter for one active developer and 50 credits a month |
| What a credit buys | Base review 1 credit, Plus 3, Apex 10; overages are per author, not pooled |
| Startup note | Pre-Series A startups under $2M revenue in the past 12 months can apply for 50% off |
| Tradeoff | Fifty credits can be a small allowance if the team uses Plus or Apex reviews |
- Greptile’s pricing page lists Starter as free for one active developer, unlimited repositories, and 50 credits a month.
- An active developer is anyone with at least one completed review in the billing period. Skipped reviews are not charged.
- Enterprise adds self-hosting, SSO, GitHub Enterprise Server, and a dedicated Slack channel, priced by quote.
3. CodeRabbit
Published per-developer seats
Best for: engineering teams that want a listed annual seat price and a free hourly allowance
| Published price | Essentials $24/developer/month annual or $30 month-to-month; Team $48 or $60; Advanced $72 or $90; Enterprise contact sales |
| Free vs trial | Free plan with 1 PR review per developer per hour and 150 files per review |
| Paid limits | Essentials 5 PR reviews per developer per hour; reviews beyond the limit are pay as you go on paid plans |
| Security | Advanced adds continuous security review; AI Deep Scan is usage-based and billed separately |
| Tradeoff | Seat price is per developer, so a large org pays even for light reviewers |
- CodeRabbit’s plan docs, updated in the public docs index around late September 2026, list Essentials, Team, and Advanced at those annual and monthly rates.
- The pricing page shows agentic PR and CLI review, 1-click fixes, and linter/SAST support on the paid self-serve plans.
- Enterprise is contact-sales and adds self-hosting options, SSO, SLA support, and audit logging.
4. Qodo
Credit-metered team plan
Best for: teams that want one pooled credit balance instead of a per-developer seat
| Published price | Pro Team at $0.012 per credit, pooled; Enterprise custom for 30+ users |
| Free vs trial | 14-day trial with no card; no permanent free plan. Qualified open source can apply separately |
| Overage | Same per-credit rate, no premium; unused credits expire each cycle; a spending cap can pause reviews |
| Enterprise extras | SSO/SAML, audit logs, BYOK, single-tenant or on-prem, dedicated CSM |
| Tradeoff | The public page publishes the credit rate, not a fixed review count, so cost moves with PR size |
- Qodo’s pricing page states the Pro Team rate as $0.012 per credit, pooled, with no annual commitment and no rate limits on that plan.
- The same page says there is no permanent free tier. Reviews pause when the trial ends until a paid plan is chosen.
- Enterprise is positioned for 30+ users and adds governance, deployment choice, and priority support by quote.
Kurums Match
Open the situation that matches the buyer. This is a fit map, not a score.
We review public repositories and want a $0 start
Sourcery’s Open Source plan covers pull-request review on public repos. Private repos start on Pro.
One developer wants to test PR review before buying seats
Greptile Starter is free for one active developer and 50 credits a month. Pro is $30 per seat.
We want a listed annual price per developer
CodeRabbit Essentials is $24 per developer per month billed annually, with a free hourly allowance underneath.
We want one pooled balance for uneven PR volume
Qodo meters Pro Team at $0.012 per credit, pooled, after a 14-day trial. There is no permanent free plan.
Buying tip: Run two tools on the same busy repository for a week and count comments a human reviewer actually uses. A low seat price is not a saving if the rolling budget skips the PRs you care about.
How this comparison was put together
We compared tools that review code on pull requests or in the IDE, not general coding agents. Prices were read on October 2, 2026 from Sourcery’s plans docs, Greptile’s pricing page, CodeRabbit’s pricing page and plan docs, and Qodo’s pricing page. We did not invent pack sizes that the Qodo page did not print. Order follows the public $0 or lowest published entry price, then quote-led enterprise. No badge or affiliate term set the sequence.
FAQ
Is an AI code reviewer the same as GitHub Copilot?
No. Copilot and similar assistants are covered in our coding-assistant comparison. This page is for products whose published job is review on a pull request or in the IDE.
Do free plans include private repositories?
Sourcery’s free plan is for public repositories. Greptile’s free Starter allows unlimited repositories for one active developer. CodeRabbit has a free hourly allowance. Qodo’s trial is 14 days, not a standing free plan.
Why is Qodo last if it publishes a price?
It publishes a credit rate, not a $0 plan. The sort rule puts standing $0 plans first. That is not a judgment of review quality.
Can we self-host?
Greptile lists self-host on Enterprise. CodeRabbit lists self-hosting options on Enterprise. Qodo lists single-tenant or on-prem on Enterprise. All three are quote-led.
