Cursor Bugbot checked October 1, 2026; Greptile checked October 1, 2026. Dollar figures and merge-gate behaviour should be re-read on the vendor pricing page before a contract.
Cursor Bugbot
Cursor’s production reviewer: bug-first, not style-first, and wired back into the Cursor editor the team already switched to.
Best for
- Teams already on Cursor who want a PR gate without a second vendor
- Repos where logic bugs matter more than nits
Watch out
Not a substitute for choosing Cursor the editor — that comparison lives under /ai-harnesses. Usage billing means a busy repo can outrun a flat-seat mental model; size spend from cursor.com/pricing#bugbot, not from a third-party $/run table. Azure DevOps is currently public beta and limited to Azure DevOps Services, not Azure DevOps Server. Requiring the Bugbot check without fail-on-unresolved-issues still allows merge when findings are posted. Autofix needs storage plus on-demand usage pricing, and its available modes vary by code host (GitHub supports more modes than GitLab/Bitbucket; Azure DevOps autofix is unavailable).
Greptile
A repository-context reviewer: the vendor describes a graph index and parallel review agents; credits are charged for completed reviews, not for keeping the graph.
Best for
- Teams whose defects are cross-file, not line-local
- Enterprises on Bitbucket Data Center, Gitea or Perforce
- Solo developers who can live on the free 50-credit Starter cap
- Early-stage startups that qualify for the 50% discount
Watch out
Each author has 50 included credits; balances are not pooled. Billing counts completed reviews, not PRs, and attributed CLI reviews share the user's seat/credits; unattributed API/CLI reviews bill as flex without creating an active-developer seat. Base/Plus/Apex use 1/3/10 credits, with $1 per additional credit. A flex-spend cap pauses overage reviews while authors with included credits can continue. Legacy T-Rex is also listed at 3 credits; do not mix its results with other tiers. The homepage lists GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Cursor Origin; confirm the selected integration/deployment scope. Enterprise lists GHES, residency-enabled GitHub Enterprise Cloud, self-managed GitLab, Bitbucket Data Center, Gitea and on-premises Perforce P4.
