Greptile vs Kodus

Greptile and Kodus are the two 'deep context' AI reviewers, and the real question is how you want to pay for depth. Greptile indexes your whole codebase into a graph and reviews each PR with that context: Starter is free (one developer, 50 credits/month), Pro is $30/seat/month with 50 credits per seat and $1 per extra credit; it self-reports an 82% bug catch rate on its own benchmark while independent write-ups warn of higher false-positive volume than diff-only reviewers (checked October 2026). Kodus is open source (AGPLv3) and bring-your-own-key: free self-hosted Community with unlimited PRs, or hosted Teams at $10/developer/month ($8 annual) plus your own token bill, with plain-language Kody Rules and support for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Gitea and Forgejo (checked October 2026). Greptile's metered model punishes high PR volume — model the overage before you commit. Kodus's flat license rewards it. We did not hands-on test either product, so no quality winner is declared.

Decision point	Greptile	Kodus
Best suited to	Engineering teams that want automated pull request reviews with codebase-wide context and one-click fixes routed to their coding agent.	Engineering teams that want AI code review without per-seat SaaS lock-in
Plans and cost	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.	Teams: $10 per developer/month billed monthly ($8 billed annually), plus your own model API costs. Self-hosted: free under AGPLv3. Pricing per vendor comparison pages checked October 2026; confirm on kodus.io.
Limitations	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.	Bring-your-own-model means the $8-10/dev/month Teams price is not the whole bill - your model API usage is extra. Self-hosted AGPLv3 is free but you operate it. Kodus rebranded its site around Orbital

Use the same input

A platform team with a large monorepo and high PR volume wants codebase-aware review and must compare metered per-seat pricing against a flat BYOK license.

What a successful result must preserve

Model the overage: estimate monthly PR volume and the share of deep reviews, then add the expected credit cost to the seat fee before comparing against the flat BYOK alternative.

Evidence and test status

Specification comparison based on the two vendors' published pricing pages plus independent 2026 reviews and benchmarks, checked October 2026. We did not run a hands-on test on either tool; no quality winner is declared.
