Before you choose
Start with access and cost
A free plan can let you evaluate a tool before paying. A free trial gives time-limited access instead; check the trial length and what remains available afterward.
Pricing varies by user, month or year. Sourcery lists paid plans from $12 per user each month, while CodeRabbit lists $24 per month with annual billing.
Match the hosting model
Web access suits teams that want a hosted workspace. Self-hosted options keep deployment under your control, while an API can connect review checks to internal systems.
Check platform support for web, self-hosted, API, Linux, macOS and Windows before you commit to a workflow.
Choose the review checks
Automated analysis can flag code issues without a manual pass. AI review adds machine-generated feedback, while custom review rules let a team define its own checks.
Security analysis and review analytics address different needs: one looks for security problems, and the other helps track review activity.
Confirm code-host fit
Code-host support determines where a tool can connect to repositories and pull requests. Verify that the hosts used by your team are supported before setup.
Compare host coverage alongside automated analysis and AI review so a feature match does not fail at the integration step.
Check openness and control
Open-source status matters if you need to inspect or change the software. Confirm the licence and deployment terms for the tool you are considering.
A self-hosted option can provide more control over deployment, but it may require infrastructure work from your team.
