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.
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.

Sweep AI

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
Ellipsis

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
