CodeRabbit vs Gitar

CodeRabbit runs as pr reviews, cli, and ide on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps. Gitar runs as pr review plus ci fix loop on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps.

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 adds blast-radius and architectural-impact analysis, security review on every PR, and continuous security monitoring; its current price was not visible in the public source capture. Enterprise is custom. All plans advertise a 14-day free trial with no card. Seats are billed for developers who create PRs, or assigned manually. Public repositories have free reviews with separate eligibility and usage limits. CodeRabbit Security Scan is usage-based; CodeRabbit Agent is $0.40 per agent minute; eligible over-limit reviews can continue at $0.25 per reviewed file. Gitar: Core $20/user/month billed annually ($25 monthly); Pro $40/user/month billed annually ($50 monthly); both capped at 50 users. Enterprise is custom and outcome-based per PR, with unlimited users, custom agreements, bring-your-own Anthropic key, and support for self-hosted code-hosting systems. Pricing now lives on sonarsource.com. 14-day Pro trial, no card. Public GitHub/GitLab repos with an OSI-approved licence can apply for free Pro features. PR summaries are included in Core and higher plans. Merge blocking is Pro, not Core.

CodeRabbit: The current pricing table lists PR review allowances per developer per hour: Essentials 5, Team 8, Advanced 10, Enterprise 12, subject to Fair Usage Policy. The plan docs still use legacy Pro/Pro+ names and list different file/trial limits; exact current file caps, IDE/CLI allowances and default trial-tier limits are not reconciled. Those legacy tables must not be treated as a uniform entitlement for the renamed plans. Free provides PR summaries and separate IDE/CLI review allowances; OSS review availability varies with project community/popularity, with no numeric OSS PR allowance confirmed. Eligible over-limit reviews can use optional $0.25/file billing with a configurable monthly spending cap; Enterprise arrangements are negotiated. Gitar: The current vendor page says Enterprise has no rate limits and charges by PR outcome, with unlimited iterations per PR. Core and Pro have published per-user prices and 50-user ceilings, but the current pricing/docs pages reviewed do not state their automatic-review or CI-fix allowance. No separate manual-review or REST API request quota was found in those sources.

CodeRabbit: Yes. Gitar: Yes. Autofix is still a suggestion until your CI and humans accept it.

CodeRabbit: Yes. Gitar: Yes. A missing verification means we did not treat marketing copy as a merge-gate claim.

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. Choose Gitar if this matches: Teams that want CI failure analysis next to the review. Orgs evaluating supervised bot fixes and CI verification. GitHub or GitLab shops evaluating a Sonar-owned reviewer. CodeRabbit watch-out: Per-seat pricing scales with PR authors, not with workspace. The pricing table lists no custom checks for Essentials, 10 for Team, and 20 for Advanced/Enterprise; older docs still describe Pro+ with 20, so confirm the selected subscription. Built-in checks are included in paid plans. Checks default to warning; merge blocking requires error mode plus Request Changes Workflow. Self-hosting is an Enterprise option. Autofix requires Essentials or higher and an enabled setting; current docs cover GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps and Bitbucket Cloud, without establishing Bitbucket Data Center parity. Generated fixes can be delivered even when their build verification fails. Security Scan and Agent usage are billed separately. Confirm current prices, trial tier and file/IDE/CLI limits in the selected account where public pages disagree. Gitar watch-out: Core/Pro are capped at 50 users; Enterprise allows unlimited users and is priced by PR outcome, with unlimited iterations per PR. The vendor says Enterprise has no rate limits; it does not publish a Core/Pro automatic-review allowance on the sources checked. Merge blocking is Pro, not Core. Gitar supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, including self-hosted code-hosting instances; this does not establish that the Gitar service itself runs on-premises.
