Pricing Model

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.

FreemiumEllipsis is free for all public GitHub repositories with no usage limits or credit card required. For private repositories, the Developer plan costs $20/developer/month, billed monthly, with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required for the trial. The Developer plan includes automated PR code review on all private repos, the @ellipsis-dev fix trigger, custom style guides, adaptive learning, codebase Q&A, weekly summaries, and access to the agents-as-config platform. All plans include SOC 2 Type II compliance and no code persistence. Enterprise pricing is available for larger teams and adds admin controls, centralized billing, custom compliance requirements, and dedicated support. Contact team@ellipsis.dev or schedule a call with a founder for enterprise pricing.

Swarm agent PR review — parallel agents build a complete codebase graph (files, functions, dependencies) and review every PR with full cross-file context in ~3 minutes

Supported

TREX runtime validation — agent that writes and executes tests for every PR in a sandboxed environment to catch bugs and missed edge cases (Beta, 3 credits/review)

Supported

Fix with Agent integration — one-click sends every review comment with file paths, line numbers, and suggested code to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Conductor, or Devin

Supported

/greploop automation — lets any coding agent iterate with Greptile in a loop until all issues are resolved, enabling fully automated review-fix cycles

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

Ellipsis Pros & Cons

Pros

Free for all public GitHub repositories — the easiest no-cost entry into automated AI code review for open-source projects
Agents-as-config approach (YAML in repo + git push) is the most developer-native way to deploy and version-control AI agents
SOC 2 Type II certified with zero code persistence — code never stored after processing, ideal for compliance-sensitive teams
'Replace an $80K engineering role with $40/month' — the strongest ROI claim in the AI code review market, from a real customer (Rivo)
Adaptive learning customizes reviews to your team's preferences over time — reduces noise as it learns what your team values
YC W24 pedigree with $2M seed — early-stage but institutionally validated for serious enterprise consideration

Cons

GitHub-only for the code review bot — no native GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps support in the PR review product
Requires admin-level GitHub access to install — often gets stuck in IT approval processes at large enterprises
$20/developer/month adds up for larger teams — a 30-person team pays $600/month, requiring careful ROI calculation
No self-hosting option — pure SaaS on AWS; unsuitable for air-gapped or highly isolated enterprise environments
Cloud coding agents platform is newer and less battle-tested than the core code review product
Weaker analysis of complex architectural or cross-file logic compared to tools with dedicated codebase graph engines like Greptile or Augment Code
