CodeRabbit vs Greptile (and HeyDeer): pricing and quality

CodeRabbit vs Greptile at a glance

HeyDeer is in the last column as a third option.

CodeRabbit vs Greptile pricing

The two pricing models cross at a simple point. One CodeRabbit Essentials seat costs $24 a month, the same as 24 Greptile Base reviews. A developer who opens fewer than 24 pull requests a month is cheaper on Greptile; one who opens more is cheaper on CodeRabbit. With Plus reviews at 3 credits, the crossover drops to about 8 pull requests per developer.

The table below prices the same workload on all three: each developer opens 10 pull requests a month and each is reviewed once.

USD list prices before tax. CodeRabbit at its annual rates, checked October 5, 2026; Greptile Pro prices checked November 4, 2026. HeyDeer on the cheapest plan for the credits, at the Standard estimate on the pricing page calculator.

Re-reviews change the picture. Greptile spends credits on every completed review, so a pull request reviewed three times costs three reviews. A CodeRabbit seat covers re-reviews, within 5 reviews per developer an hour on Essentials and 8 on Team. Count reviews, not only pull requests, when you price Greptile.

Review quality and precision

The two tools take different routes to context. Greptile builds a graph of every function, class and dependency in the repository, so a review can follow a change into the code that calls it, and it learns from your team’s 👍 and 👎 reactions and replies. CodeRabbit focuses on the pull request and runs static analysis, secrets, dependency and infrastructure checks on every plan.

On ReviewBench, GitHub’s open benchmark for AI code review, Greptile scores 95.2% precision and 20.2% recall in the default high-severity view; CodeRabbit isn’t on the leaderboard. HeyDeer scores 99.0% precision and 51.4% recall, the highest precision on the board.

Precision is the share of reported issues that are real; recall is the share of known issues a reviewer finds. A reviewer tuned to report everything finds more and is wrong more often. When coding agents act on review comments, each false positive becomes a change someone has to review, so precision tends to matter most.

Features and platforms

CodeRabbit

• Works with GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps and Bitbucket.
• Reviews code before the pull request in the CLI, in IDE extensions for VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf, and inside coding-agent loops, on every plan.
• Custom checks on Team and above; self-hosting on Enterprise.

Greptile

• Greptile Cloud works with GitHub, GitLab.com and Bitbucket Cloud; Enterprise adds GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab Self-Managed, Bitbucket Data Center and Gitea.
• Three review depths: Base (1 credit), Plus (3) and Apex (10); an optional TREX run adds 3 credits.
• Cross-repository context, a Knowledge Base MCP, and Jira, Linear and Notion integrations on Pro; self-hosting on Enterprise.

Which one should you choose?

Choose CodeRabbit if your repositories live on GitLab, Bitbucket or Azure DevOps, if you want the same reviewer in the editor and on the pull request, or if your developers each open more than 24 pull requests a month. The bill is easy to forecast: seats times the plan price.

Choose Greptile if you work in a large codebase where a change often reaches far beyond the diff, your team opens a moderate number of pull requests per developer, and you want to pick a deeper review for risky changes. Keep an eye on re-reviews and Plus or Apex reviews, which multiply the credit count.

HeyDeer: a third option

HeyDeer reviews every GitHub pull request, whichever person or coding agent wrote it, and checks every finding against your code before it’s posted. Reviews follow your REVIEW.md, AGENTS.md and repository checks on every plan, including Free. Fix with HeyDeer opens a fix pull request for the findings you choose, and Autopilot keeps fixing findings, failing checks and merge conflicts until the pull request is ready to merge.

HeyDeer charges per workspace, not per developer or per review credit. Every plan includes unlimited developers and repositories: Free, Starter at $9 and Pro at $39 a month. A 10-developer team opening 100 pull requests a month pays $14, against $240 on CodeRabbit Essentials and $100 on Greptile Base reviews.

HeyDeer installs as a GitHub App on the repositories you choose, so it fits teams whose code lives on GitHub; for GitLab, Bitbucket or Azure DevOps, CodeRabbit and Greptile are the closer fit.
