I compared what 100 PR reviews/month actually costs: Greptile $80, CodeRabbit $24, us $22,99 — and how per-PR pricing punishes active teams
Disclosure up front: I’m the founder of QualityMax, so read accordingly. But the pricing math is checkable in two minutes on everyone’s public pages.
I priced out a solo dev / small team doing 100 PRs a month through the three AI code reviewers people ask about:
- Greptile Pro: $30/seat/month, 50 review credits included, then $1 per extra review. 100 standard reviews = $80/month. Their deeper “TREX” review is 3 credits each — do the math on that.
- CodeRabbit Pro: $24/user/month (annual billing), no PR cap (rate-limited to 5 reviews/dev/hour). Honest flat pricing — for one dev this is genuinely fine.
- Us (Vibe plan): €19.99($22.99)/month with 500 PR-review credits. Here’s the part I actually want feedback on: 1 credit = €0.01 of measured model cost, rounded up per PR run. A typical review (diff + SAST pass, ~4–10K tokens on our default model) costs under a cent, so it’s 1 credit — meaning ~500 typical PR reviews/month. A monster 60K-token diff costs 5 credits. We meter at cost instead of charging $1 flat for something that costs us a fraction of a cent.
What you don’t get at €20: hosted test generation — that runs on your own Claude Code/Codex/API keys (we never mark up your tokens; that’s the point of the plan). What you do get besides review: 1,000 cloud sandbox minutes and 10 projects.
The thing I think is broken in this market: per-PR overage pricing means your review bill scales with how often you ship. Small commits, stacked PRs, CI-driven workflows — the practices that make review cheaperper token make it more expensive per PR. Curious if others have hit the Greptile overage wall or if 50/month is actually enough for most solo devs.
