We have all read these pricing pages: per seat, per credit, per reviewed file, per push, and a plan name that changed since you last looked. I wanted one number to compare, so every row prices the same team doing the same work, under the assumptions below.
The assumptions
- We assume 10 PRs per developer per month. Nobody measured that number, and your own is one query away: count merged PRs last month and divide by the people who opened them.
- Every developer opens PRs and gets a seat. CodeRabbit says it only charges for developers who create pull requests, so this matches its billing.
- Each PR gets one review, for the tools that charge per review. In practice a PR gets several pushes, and tools differ on whether a re-review costs again, which can double or triple usage costs, so check your own plan.
- Prices are list prices on 6 October 2026, from each vendor's own pricing page, in US dollars, before discounts, taxes and startup programs.
Seat pricing vs usage pricing
The table hides the most useful fact about these plans: they scale in different directions.
Seat pricing (CodeRabbit, Copilot, repowise Teams) is a fixed monthly cost per person, so the more PRs each person opens, the cheaper each review gets. At 20 PRs per developer instead of 10, CodeRabbit Essentials drops from $240 to $120 per 100 PRs. Seat pricing is predictable, and it's the better deal for busy teams.
Usage pricing (Qodo, Greptile overage, Copilot's AI credits, repowise's AI credits) charges per review. The cost per 100 PRs stays flat however busy you are, and a quiet month costs less. It's the better deal for small or bursty teams, and the riskier one if nobody sets a cap.
Most plans are now a mix. Greptile is a seat that includes 50 credits. Copilot is a seat that includes 1,900 AI credits shared with chat, agents and the CLI. repowise Teams is a seat that adds $5 of credits per seat to a shared pool. CodeRabbit is a seat with an hourly review allowance and optional pay-as-you-go beyond it, at $0.25 per reviewed file.
CodeRabbit pricing
CodeRabbit renamed its plans, so Pro is now Essentials and Pro Plus is now Team, at the same prices. Essentials is $24 per developer a month on annual billing or $30 monthly. Team is $48 annual or $60 monthly. Advanced is $72 a developer a month on annual billing ($90 monthly) and adds blast radius, architectural impact analysis and a security review of every PR. Enterprise is custom and adds self-hosting.
There is no cap on the number of PRs or repositories. Each plan has an hourly review allowance per developer (5 an hour on Essentials, up to 12 on Enterprise), and reviews past it can continue as usage at $0.25 per reviewed file, with a monthly cap you set. Public repositories get free reviews, and all plans have a 14-day trial.
At these prices CodeRabbit is the predictable choice, because the bill follows headcount and doesn't change with how much review happens.
Greptile pricing
Greptile Pro is $30 per seat a month and includes 50 credits per seat, with extra credits at $1 each. The credit cost depends on the review depth you choose: a base review is 1 credit, a Plus review 3, an Apex review 10. Starter is free for one active developer with 50 credits a month, and qualified non-commercial open-source projects can apply for free use. Pre-Series A startups with under $2M in revenue can get 50% off.
At base or Plus depth, 10 PRs per developer never touch the 50-credit allowance, so you pay $30 a seat and that's it. At Apex depth, each developer's 10 PRs need 100 credits, half of which are overage, and the cost per 100 PRs rises to $800. The review depth you pick moves a Greptile bill more than anything else.
Qodo pricing
Qodo changed its model, and the Pro Team plan is now a pooled credit plan at $0.012 per credit, with packs you can switch monthly: 2,500 credits ($30), which Qodo estimates at about 18 reviews, 5,000 at about 36, and 20,000 at about 144. That works out to about 139 credits, roughly $1.67, per review on Qodo's own estimate. Smaller PRs use fewer credits and larger ones more. Running out doesn't stop reviews, because overage is billed at the same rate up to a cap you set.
Pro Team is designed for up to 30 users, so a 100-person team is on Enterprise with custom pricing. There is also no permanent free tier after the 14-day trial, though qualified open-source projects can apply. Qodo's open-source PR-Agent, whose GitHub repository now lives at The-PR-Agent/pr-agent under the MIT license, is an option if you want to run a reviewer on your own model keys.
GitHub Copilot code review pricing
Copilot code review is included in the paid plans: Pro ($10 a month), Pro+ ($39), Business ($19 per seat) and Enterprise ($39 per seat). Business includes 1,900 AI credits per user per month, and one AI credit is $0.01.
What GitHub doesn't publish is the cost of one review. Its billing docs say code review picks the model automatically and doesn't disclose it, so per-token cost varies between reviews. Since 1 June 2026, each review on a private repository also consumes GitHub Actions minutes from your plan, billed at standard Actions rates past the included minutes. Public repositories don't use Actions minutes for this.
So the honest Copilot line is $190 per 100 PRs in seats, which also buy completions, chat and agents, plus an unknown share of the included credits, plus Actions minutes on private repos. If your team already pays for Copilot Business, review is the cheapest one to try. If you're buying seats only for review, measure a month of usage before you compare.
repowise PR bot pricing
I build repowise, which makes me the least neutral person here to price it, so it gets the same rules and visible arithmetic.
The bot has three modes, chosen per repository. Signals is free on public repositories, runs no model and comments only when something fires: callers a change breaks, files that usually change with it but aren't in the PR, tests to run first, and who to ask. It is a deterministic report with no LLM involved, so it isn't the like-for-like row. AI triage costs about 2 cents a push, and only on pushes where a signal fired. Full AI review costs about 10 cents a push and reviews every PR, with each confirmed point posted on the line it cites.
Private repositories need Pro ($15 a month, one user, 5 repos, $5 of credits) or Teams ($20 per seat monthly or $16 yearly, 3 seats minimum, 25 shared repos, $5 of credits per seat pooled). In the table I priced one Teams seat per developer, to compare like for like. At 10 PRs per developer and one push each, Full AI review uses $1 of credits per developer a month, well inside the $5 each seat adds. At three pushes per PR it's $3, still inside, so the bill is the seat price: $200 per 100 PRs monthly, $160 yearly.
Each repository has a monthly AI spend limit, $5 by default, which is about 50 full reviews. A busy repository needs it raised, or the bot falls back to the free Signals comment and says so. Teams also covers 25 repositories, so a large org with many repos is an Enterprise conversation.
Which is cheapest for your team size?
For 5 developers, Qodo (about $83), repowise Teams yearly ($80) and Copilot Business if you already pay for it ($95 plus usage) all land near $80 to $100 a month. Greptile's free Starter covers a single developer.
For 25 developers, the spread is roughly $400 to $750 a month for base-depth review, and the cheaper option depends on your PR rate. Above about 14 PRs per developer a month, CodeRabbit Essentials (annual) beats Qodo's per-review credits, and for Greptile Pro the break-even is 18.
For 100 developers, Qodo is Enterprise-only, CodeRabbit and Greptile list at $2,400 to $3,000 a month, Copilot Business is $1,900 plus usage, and repowise Teams is $2,000 monthly if 25 repositories cover you.
Price is the smaller half of the decision, though. A cheap reviewer that posts noise on every PR costs more in ignored comments than it saves. For what each kind of reviewer actually catches, see deterministic vs LLM code review, and for a wider list of bots, the PR review bots for GitHub roundup.
So count last month's merged PRs before anything else, because that one number moves this table more than any plan rename has.
How we measured
On 6 October 2026 I read each vendor's pricing page and, where the pricing page didn't say, its billing docs. I did the arithmetic in the tables by hand from those list prices, with the assumptions stated above. I didn't run the tools on the same PRs, so this post compares cost only. It says nothing about review quality, and it can't tell you how many re-reviews each tool runs per PR on your repos.
FAQ
How much do GitHub PR review bots cost?
Seat plans run from $16 to $72 per developer a month on annual billing across the tools here, or about $1.67 per review on Qodo's credit plan. At 10 PRs per developer a month, that's roughly $160 to $720 per 100 PRs, and $800 for Greptile's Apex review. Most offer free review on public repositories.
Is CodeRabbit free?
For public repositories, yes: CodeRabbit gives free reviews forever on public repos. Private repositories need a paid plan, starting at $24 per developer a month on annual billing, after a 14-day trial with no card required.
How much does Greptile cost?
Greptile Pro is $30 per seat a month with 50 credits per seat. A base review costs 1 credit, Plus 3 and Apex 10, and extra credits are $1. Starter is free for one developer, and Enterprise, with self-hosting, is custom.
What are the cheaper CodeRabbit alternatives?
On list price, Qodo's credit plan (about $167 per 100 PRs), repowise Teams yearly ($160 per 100 PRs at 10 PRs per developer), and Copilot Business if you already pay for it. For public repos, CodeRabbit, Greptile's open-source program, Qodo's open-source program and repowise Signals are all free. We compare features in [the CodeRabbit alternative page](/compare/coderabbit-alternative?src=blog_ai-code-review-pricing-compared).
Does Copilot code review cost extra?
It's included in paid Copilot plans, but each review draws AI credits from the allowance, and GitHub doesn't publish how many. Since 1 June 2026, reviews on private repositories also consume GitHub Actions minutes. Reviews from people without a Copilot license can be enabled and are billed to the organization.
Is seat pricing or usage pricing better for code review?
Seat pricing is better when developers open many PRs, because the cost per review keeps falling. Usage pricing is better for small or uneven teams, as long as someone sets a monthly cap. Run last month's PR count through both before you choose.
