Pricing
FreemiumGreptile uses a credit-based pricing model. The Starter plan is free for 1 active developer with unlimited repositories and 50 credits/month (50 standard reviews or ~16 TREX reviews). No credit card required. The Pro plan is $30/seat/month and includes 50 credits per seat, with additional credits available at $1 each. Credits are consumed as follows: 1 credit = 1 standard PR review, 3 credits = 1 TREX runtime review (sandbox test execution). Pro adds team collaboration, admin controls, and access to all Greptile features. Enterprise pricing is custom and adds SSO, audit logs, self-hosted deployment in your own AWS environment, BYOK (bring your own LLM providers), priority support, and dedicated SLAs. Greptile also offers free usage for qualified open-source projects and significant discounts for pre-Series A startups. A Greptile API is available at discounted bulk pricing for teams building on top of Greptile's codebase intelligence.
FreemiumAmazon Q Developer offered two tiers during its active lifetime. The Free Tier provided 50 inline code suggestions/day, 25 agentic requests/month, 5 security scans/month, basic inline chat, and CLI completions — free for all AWS Builder ID holders. The Pro Tier cost $19/user/month and included unlimited code suggestions, 500 agentic requests/month, 30 security scans/month, enterprise access controls via IAM Identity Center, customization on private repositories, 4,000 pooled lines of code transformation (Java upgrades and .NET porting) per payer account, and no use of customer content for model training. As of May 15, 2026, new Q Developer Free Tier account creation and new subscription creation are blocked. Existing subscriptions remain active and can add users until April 30, 2027 (end-of-support date). AWS is directing all new users to Kiro (kiro.dev), which includes a subscription that also grants access to Q Developer IDE plugins during the transition window.

Greptile Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Deepest codebase context of any code review tool — builds a full graph of files, functions, and dependencies, not just the diff
  • 'Fix with Agent' button uniquely integrates with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Conductor, and Devin for automated review-fix loops
  • TREX runtime validation (Beta) writes and executes real tests in a sandbox — the only code review tool that actually runs the code
  • Free Starter plan for 1 developer with 50 reviews/month and unlimited repos — genuinely usable with no credit card required
  • Self-hosted and BYOK options for full data sovereignty in air-gapped and regulated environments
  • Trusted by Brex (CTO: 'outperforms them all by a mile'), NVIDIA, Retool, Substack, Scale, PostHog, Mintlify, Zapier, and 22,000+ teams

Cons

  • Credit-based pricing can be unpredictable — TREX runtime reviews cost 3 credits vs 1 for standard reviews, so heavy users of the most valuable feature pay 3x more
  • Pro at $30/seat/month is more expensive than CodeRabbit Pro ($24/user/month) for standard PR review without TREX
  • Founded 2023 by recent graduates — smaller team than competitors like CodeRabbit ($143M raised) despite raising a $30M Series A at $180M valuation
  • Series A reported in talks as of July 2025 but not confirmed closed — some uncertainty around funding timeline
  • Early culture of very long working hours was publicly noted by founder (9am–11pm, 6–7 days/week) — may affect team sustainability
Amazon Q Developer

Amazon Q Developer Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Deepest AWS ecosystem integration of any coding assistant — native support for AWS Console, SageMaker, CloudFormation, CodePipeline, and more
  • Free Tier was genuinely usable for AWS-focused solo developers with no credit card required
  • Built-in security scanning and code transformation (Java runtime upgrades, .NET porting) for enterprise modernization
  • Trusted by enterprise customers for AWS-specific guidance with the highest reported code acceptance rates in the industry (BT Group: 37%, National Australia Bank: 50%)
  • CLI integration with natural language–to-bash translation for DevOps and infrastructure workflows
  • Console integration extends AI assistance beyond the IDE into the AWS Management Console, Slack, and Teams

Cons

  • New signups blocked since May 15, 2026 — IDE plugin and paid subscriptions reach full end-of-support on April 30, 2027
  • Being replaced by Kiro — latest models (Claude Opus 4.7+) are only available on Kiro, not Q Developer
  • Code transformation (Java, .NET) will be inaccessible after April 30, 2027 — users must complete migrations before then
  • AWS Console and first-party integrations (Slack, Teams) continue, but IDE-specific features are sunsetting
  • Less flexible than Cursor or Windsurf for non-AWS workloads — best value only for AWS-heavy teams
