CodeRabbit vs Greptile
Both review pull requests with AI, but their pricing models are opposites. CodeRabbit is per-seat: a free tier for public repos and rate-limited private use, with Essentials reported at $24/dev/mo billed annually ($30 monthly) as of October 2026. Greptile moved to pure pay-per-credit: free Starter with 50 credits/month, then $1 per credit — a review costs 1 credit at Base tier up to 10 credits at Apex — with unlimited developers included. Seat pricing suits steady teams; credit pricing suits spiky review volume. There is no measured review-quality winner in this review.
| Decision point | CodeRabbit | Greptile |
|---|---|---|
| Best suited to | Teams wanting automated first-pass review on GitHub or GitLab pull requests. | Engineering teams that want automated pull request reviews with codebase-wide context and one-click fixes routed to their coding agent. |
| Plans and cost | Essentials $24/user/month, Team $48/user/month, Advanced $72/user/month, Enterprise custom; annual billing saves 20%. Free for open-source projects; 14-day Team trial. | Starter is free with 50 credits per month for 1 active developer; Pro is $30/seat/month with 50 credits per seat per month and extra credits at $1 each; Enterprise is custom-priced. A 14-day free trial is advertised. Prices as published on the official pricing page on 2026-10-20. |
| Limitations | Designed to assist, not replace, human reviewers. Confirm the current per-seat pricing and data-retention options. | Reviews consume credits (a base review is 1 credit, Plus 3 credits, Apex 10 credits), and the free Starter plan covers only 1 active developer with 50 credits per month. |
Use the same input
Run both on the same 10 real pull requests from your repo and have two senior engineers blind-rate which tool's comments they would actually act on.
What a successful result must preserve
Reviews must run on private repos, comments must be actionable (not style nitpicks), and total monthly cost must be computable in advance.
