Full Comparison
| Criterion | CodeRabbit | OpenCode |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | Free for open-source repos; Pro $24 / user / month Pro and Pro Plus are quoted billed annually: $24 and $48 per user per month. CodeRabbit Security is $40 per user per month. Enterprise is quoted by sales, and its self-hosted option starts at 500 seats. | Free, MIT licence You bring your own provider keys and pay them directly. The optional OpenCode Zen gateway is pay as you go per million tokens and includes several free models. |
| Free trial | 14 days, no credit card; public and open-source repositories are reviewed free permanently | Free open-source agent |
| Commercial use | Yes | Yes, MIT licence |
| Output | AI reviews on pull requests, with one-click fixes and pre-merge checks | Agentic coding in a terminal, a desktop app or an IDE |
| API | Yes, on the Enterprise plan | Local server with a TypeScript SDK |
| Hosting | Cloud, with a self-hosted Enterprise deployment from 500 seats and an EU SaaS region | Not stated |
| Where it runs | On the pull request in GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, plus a VS Code extension and a CLI | Terminal, a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux, and IDE extensions; open source under the MIT licence, installed through npm, Homebrew, Scoop, Chocolatey, Arch, Mise, Docker or a binary |
| Inline completions | No, it reviews and comments on changes rather than completing code as you type | No, OpenCode is driven by prompts rather than by suggestions as you type; its language-server integration feeds diagnostics back to the agent instead of offering inline completions |
| Agent mode | Yes, agentic reviews with one-click fixes, agentic chat, coding agent loops and an issue planner; unit tests, merge-conflict resolution and post-merge actions come with Pro Plus | Yes, an autonomous coding agent with several sessions running in parallel and the option to share a session |
| Model choice | No model picker; an ensemble of models is used, with code shared with OpenAI and Anthropic for reviewing purposes | Yes, more than 75 providers through Models.dev with your own keys, plus local models through Ollama, LM Studio or llama.cpp and any other OpenAI-compatible endpoint declared in opencode.json |
| Data control | Customer code is never used for training. Encrypted code caches, vector indexes and longer-lived Learnings are stored; self-hosted Enterprise can opt out entirely, and model output logging is off by default for eligible non-open-source organisations | Provider keys are stored locally in the user's own auth file rather than on a server, the project states it does not store your code or context data, and local models keep the work on your machine |
| Ecosystem fit | GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps including self-managed servers, plus Jira and Linear, MCP connections and a VS Code extension | Terminal, desktop app and IDE extensions, with language servers and MCP servers configurable; the optional OpenCode Zen gateway supplies models tested for coding agents |
| Deployment | more entries Cloud (SaaS), Browser-based, On-premise | Cloud (SaaS), On-premise |
| Support | Not stated | Community forum |
| Onboarding | Documentation and knowledge base | Documentation and knowledge base |
| Company size | more entries Freelancers, Small and mid-sized, Enterprise | Freelancers, Small and mid-sized |
| Integrations | more entries GitHub, GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jira, Linear, Slack, VS Code | Visual Studio Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, GitHub, Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp |

The trade-offs
Strengths and Limitations
CodeRabbit
Strengths
- Reviews every pull request automatically and proposes one-click fixes
- Covers GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, including self-managed servers
- Free reviews for public and open-source repositories
- Customer code is not used for training, and Enterprise can self-host
Limitations
- Reviews code rather than writing it, so it sits alongside a coding assistant rather than replacing one
- Hourly review caps per developer: 5 pull requests on Pro, 10 on Pro Plus
- Self-hosting is Enterprise only and starts at 500 seats
- Security monitoring is a separate $40 per user per month tier
OpenCode
Strengths
- MIT-licensed and free, with no restriction on commercial use
- More than 75 model providers plus fully local models, so no vendor lock-in
- One agent across terminal, desktop app and IDE
- Local server and TypeScript SDK for embedding the agent in other tools
Limitations
- You manage provider keys and pay model costs directly, so spend is harder to predict than a seat price
- Topping up OpenCode Zen credit adds a card processing fee of 4.4% plus $0.30 per transaction
- Zen model prices span a wide range, from $0.05 to $180 per million tokens depending on the model
