Claude Code Review: Research preview on Claude Team and Enterprise plans. Billed separately through usage credits by tokens — it does not count against the plan's included usage. Anthropic's stated average is $15–25 per review; admins can set monthly spend caps. Not available with zero data retention. CodeRabbit: Essentials (formerly Pro) $24/user/month billed annually ($30 month-to-month); Team (formerly Pro Plus) $48/user/month billed annually ($60 month-to-month); Advanced $72/user/month billed annually ($90 month-to-month) — adds blast-radius and architectural-impact analysis, security review on every PR, and continuous security monitoring; Enterprise custom. New organisations get a 14-day Advanced trial, no card. Seats are billed for developers who create PRs, or assigned manually. Public repositories are free. CodeRabbit Security Scan is usage-based; CodeRabbit Agent is $0.40 per agent minute; over-limit reviews can continue at $0.25 per reviewed file.

Claude Code Review: No published hourly PR cap. Each review bills tokens from usage credits (average $15–25 per review per Anthropic), and admins can cap monthly spend. Reviews run once after PR creation, after every push, or on demand, depending on the trigger you configure. CodeRabbit: Rolling per-developer hour, not a workspace bucket. Pricing page (newer): Essentials 5/hour, Team 8/hour, Advanced 10/hour, Enterprise 12/hour. The docs plans page still uses the old names — Pro 5/hour, Pro+ 10/hour, Enterprise 12/hour — so confirm Team's rate with CodeRabbit before quoting it. Free has no PR reviews (PR summaries only) and allows 3 IDE and 3 CLI reviews per hour. The 14-day trial allows 10 PR reviews/hour and 150 files per review. OSS public repos 1–10/hour by popularity. Incremental reviews after pushes count. Files per review (after path filters): Free 150, Pro and above 300. Fair-usage can slow a developer at the 95th percentile of recent 7-day usage. A usage-based add-on can continue eligible over-limit reviews. @coderabbitai rate limit shows remaining capacity.

Claude Code Review: Not verified. CodeRabbit: Yes. Autofix is still a suggestion until your CI and humans accept it.

Claude Code Review: Not verified. CodeRabbit: Yes. A missing verification means we did not treat marketing copy as a merge-gate claim.

Choose Claude Code Review if this matches: Teams already on Claude Team or Enterprise. High-stakes PRs where a deeper, costlier review pays off. GitHub.com or self-hosted GitHub Enterprise Server shops. Choose CodeRabbit if this matches: Teams on mixed git hosts. Orgs that want a dedicated reviewer with linters and issue trackers attached. Open-source maintainers who want free public-repo reviews. Claude Code Review watch-out: Per-review cost is far above flat-seat reviewers: at an average of $15–25 per review, a busy repo can cost more than a seat-priced bot in days, so set the admin monthly cap before turning on review-after-every-push. GitHub only — *.ghe.com data-residency tenants are not supported, and there is no zero-data-retention option. It is a research preview, so behaviour and billing can change. CodeRabbit watch-out: Per-seat pricing scales with PR authors, not with workspace. Essentials (formerly Pro) caps reviews at 5 per developer per hour. Custom pre-merge checks are Pro+/Enterprise (now Team and above), not Essentials. Pre-merge checks default to warning (non-blocking); blocking merges requires error + Request Changes Workflow. Self-hosted/on-prem is Enterprise, not Pro. Security Scan and CodeRabbit Agent ($0.40/agent minute) are billed separately. The docs and the pricing page disagree on some hourly limits — confirm with the vendor. Confirm monthly vs annual toggle before quoting $24. Raised a $143M Series C at a $1.5B valuation on 2026-08-12 (Reuters) and is expanding into AI software governance; Kudelski Security has disclosed an exploit chain (RCE/secrets) against CodeRabbit in 2026 — confirm remediation status before granting broad repo access.
