Strengths and Limitations
CodeRabbit
Strengths

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
Refact.ai
Strengths

How we check reviews
Reviews are not published yet. The form on a tool's page works and reaches us, but nothing from it appears on this site, so no score here is based on a review. The rules below are the ones that will apply once reviews go live.
Every review is read by a person before it appears. We require a working email address and use it to come back to the author, so a review has a reachable sender rather than being anonymous. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, we pay nothing and offer nothing for a review, and we accept none that was bought or incentivised.
What we cannot do is verify a purchase. There is no shop here and no account, so whether the author really used the tool rests on what they tell us, plus the plausibility of what they write. We say so rather than implying a check that does not exist.
A vendor cannot have a review removed, cannot buy one, and cannot have one changed. Paid placement and a paid listing have no effect on which reviews appear or on any score.
