The Cost Finder assumes one entry plan per person, so it multiplies by your team size; yearly prices are shown per month, and team or business plans can cost more per seat.

Greptile's Starter plan is free for one developer with 50 credits a month. Qodo offers free access only to qualified open-source projects, and CodeRabbit itself reviews public repositories free. PR-Agent, PR-AF and claude-code-security-review cost nothing but you supply and pay for the model key.
PR-Agent (MIT), PR-AF (Apache-2.0) and claude-code-security-review (MIT) are open-source ways to review pull requests. PR-Agent is the broadest, covering GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps. All three need your own LLM key, and Docker or CI runners to host them.
CodeRabbit charges per developer who opens pull requests and adds hourly review allowances. Qodo and Greptile pool credits across a team, Copilot bundles review into a $10 plan, Bugbot bills per review, and open-source tools charge only for model usage. The table above shows each difference.

CodeRabbit added a usage-based add-on that bills reviews pay-per-use once a plan's review limit is reached, so heavy teams can pay beyond their seat price. (source)
Each plan carries a per-developer hourly review allowance (Essentials 5, Team 8, Advanced 10), lowered to 1 per hour after heavy recent use. (source)
Pro and Pro Plus were renamed Essentials and Team; unit tests, finishing touches and post-merge actions sit only in Team and above, and continued reviews cost $0.25 per reviewed file. (source)

GitHub Copilot starts at $10/mo, against $24/user/mo for CodeRabbit, as listed on each vendor's pricing page on 11 Nov 2026.
If each of 5 people buys the entry paid plan, at the prices Zekai checked on 11 Nov 2026, the monthly cost is Greptile $5/mo, GitHub Copilot $50/mo, Claude Code $100/mo, against CodeRabbit $120/mo for CodeRabbit. Team and business plans can cost more per seat. The Zekai Cost Finder on this page recalculates for any team size.
Meters reviews in credits at $0.015 each pooled across up to 30 users, not per seat; the $30 pack covers 2,000 credits, and Enterprise adds on-prem and BYOK. Choose Qodo if you want pooled credits instead of per-developer seats and rules that learn from PR history. Stay with CodeRabbit if you want flat per-developer pricing with a free tier for public repositories.
The documented reasons are: CodeRabbit added a usage-based add-on that bills reviews pay-per-use once a plan's review limit is reached, so heavy teams can pay beyond their seat price (9 Apr 2026); Each plan carries a per-developer hourly review allowance (Essentials 5, Team 8, Advanced 10), lowered to 1 per hour after heavy recent use (11 Nov 2026). Each is sourced in the section above.
It depends on the job. Qodo suits pooled credits and team rules, Greptile suits per-review pricing, and Copilot suits teams already paying for it. None is ranked above CodeRabbit on every point.
Zekai independently reviews AI tools. For this page we read each vendor's own pricing and product pages and recorded the starting price, the free-plan limit and the date of the check. Only tools that do the same job as CodeRabbit are listed, and sponsors never change the order or the scores.
