Pricing
FreemiumSweep uses a usage-based credit model. The free tier gives limited Sweep API Credits for testing all features. All paid individual plans (starting at $20/month) grant the plan cost as included API credits plus unlimited Tab autocomplete suggestions. Unused credits roll over for 30 days. Agent usage is charged at the underlying LLM provider cost plus a 5% Sweep markup: Sweep-0.1 (fastest, ~$0.02/message), Claude Opus 4.5 or GPT-5.2 (~$0.25/message), Sonnet 4.5 (~$0.15/message), Gemini 3 Flash (~$0.035/message), and GLM 4.6 (~$0.028/message). Sweep Next-Edit Tab autocomplete is included at no per-message cost on all paid plans. Team plans include $40 in Sweep API credits per seat with pay-as-you-go overages billed to the organization. Team plans add SSO, team-wide usage visibility, and the ability to enforce Privacy Mode org-wide. Contact team@sweep.dev for volume discounts on larger teams. BYOK (bring your own key) is available to route all model calls through your own API accounts at zero markup.
FreemiumCodeRabbit offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, and a permanent free plan for open-source projects. The IDE extension (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf) is free for all users. The Pro plan costs $24/user/month (billed annually) or $30/user/month (monthly), and includes agentic PR and CLI reviews, 1-click fixes, learnings, agent loops, up to 5 MCP connections, pre-merge checks, agentic chat, linter/SAST integration, and Jira/Linear integrations. Pro Plus is $48/user/month (annual) and adds multi-repo analysis (up to 10 repos), custom pre-merge checks (up to 20), finishing touches (unit test generation, merge conflict resolution), post-merge actions, issue planner, and higher rate limits (10 PR reviews/hour). CodeRabbit Security is a separate add-on at $40/user/month for continuous repository scanning and per-PR security review. The CodeRabbit Slack Agent is usage-based at $0.50/agent-minute. Enterprise pricing is custom and includes all Pro Plus features plus custom RBAC, SSO/SAML, audit logs, API access, self-hosting, multi-org support, SLA support, dedicated CSM, EU SaaS deployment, and AWS/GCP/Claude marketplace billing.

Sweep AI Pros & Cons

Pros

  • #1 AI plugin on JetBrains Marketplace with 4.9 stars and 40K+ installs — purpose-built JetBrains experience vs. other tools ported from VS Code
  • Proprietary 1.5B parameter Sweep Next-Edit model delivers millisecond-latency Tab autocomplete — fastest JetBrains autocomplete available
  • Zero data retention by default — no code stored by Sweep or LLM providers, with SOC 2 compliance and BYOK for full control
  • Model flexibility — choose Sweep-0.1, Claude Opus, GPT-5, Gemini, GLM, or Grok per task with transparent per-message pricing
  • Remote MCP with full OAuth 2.0/2.1, web search, bash tooling, and AI code review built in as of late 2025
  • Small, focused team (YC S23, ex-Roblox) that uses Sweep themselves daily — fast iteration and direct founder responsiveness

Cons

  • JetBrains-only — no VS Code, Neovim, or standalone IDE support, which excludes a large portion of the developer market
  • Small team (~4-5 people, YC-backed seed stage) with limited resources compared to GitHub Copilot or Cursor
  • Agent credit usage can grow quickly with complex multi-file tasks — heavy users may need to add pay-as-you-go credits beyond their plan
  • Free tier has limited credits and model access — meaningful use requires a paid plan starting at $20/month
  • VS Code extension exists but is labeled experimental — JetBrains IDEs receive the full, polished Sweep experience
CodeRabbit

CodeRabbit Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Pioneer and market leader in AI code review — first to market, 17,000+ customers, 2M+ reviews/week, most installed AI app on GitHub and GitLab
  • NVIDIA's Jensen Huang uses it company-wide — the strongest possible enterprise validation signal
  • Free for all open-source projects — $10M committed over next 12 months to keep OSS features free
  • Uniquely loops with AI coding agents (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini) for fully automated review-fix cycles
  • Agentic Change Management covers the full governance lifecycle: Review, Triage, Change Stack, and Security in one platform
  • Revenue grew 5x+ year-over-year with $143M Series C at $1.5B valuation in August 2026

Cons

  • No free permanent commercial tier — only a 14-day trial and free access for open-source projects
  • Pro plan at $24/user/month (annual) adds up quickly for larger teams compared to per-repo pricing models
  • Primary focus is code review/governance rather than inline autocomplete or code generation — not a Copilot replacement
  • Rate limits on Pro (5 PR reviews/hour) and Pro Plus (10/hour) may constrain teams with very high PR velocity
  • CLI and IDE reviews are newer additions — not as mature as the core PR review feature
