CodeRabbit

Overview

CodeRabbit is an AI code review platform that sits on the pull request rather than in the editor. When a change is opened it posts a line-by-line review, explains the diff, proposes one-click fixes and can run agent loops with a coding assistant to apply the feedback. Around that core the product adds Triage, which ranks open pull requests by risk, complexity and business impact; Change Stack, which explains large diffs through semantic analysis and architectural impact; and a separately priced Security tier for continuous repository monitoring and scheduled deep scans. It installs on GitHub.com, GitLab.com, Bitbucket Cloud and Azure DevOps, and on self-managed GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab and Bitbucket Data Center, with a reverse tunnel for private-network servers. Reviews can also be run from a VS Code extension, which the vendor lists as working in VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf, and from a CLI. Reviews run on an ensemble of models, with code shared with OpenAI and Anthropic for reviewing purposes only. Seats are billed per user per month on annual terms, public and open-source repositories are reviewed free, and a 14-day trial needs no card.

Best for engineering teams that want every pull request reviewed and ranked before a human opens it.

CodeRabbit is aimed at the bottleneck that appears once a team is already generating code quickly: not writing the change, but deciding whether it is safe to merge. Because it works on the pull request instead of the editor, it lands next to whatever assistant a team already pays for rather than replacing it, which is worth budgeting for as a second per-seat line rather than a substitute. The hourly review caps per developer are the number to check against the way a team actually works, since a squad that opens many small pull requests will feel them sooner than one that ships fewer, larger ones. Teams that mainly want help producing code, rather than scrutinising it, are served by a coding agent instead.

Key Facts

Features

Where it runs

On the pull request in GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, plus a VS Code extension and a CLI

Inline completions

No, it reviews and comments on changes rather than completing code as you type

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

Model choice

No model picker; an ensemble of models is used, with code shared with OpenAI and Anthropic for reviewing purposes

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

Ecosystem fit

GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps including self-managed servers, plus Jira and Linear, MCP connections and a VS Code extension

API

Yes, API access is an Enterprise feature
