Usage-based

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).

HybridFree for qualifying OSS

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.

How do Cursor Bugbot and Greptile bill?

Individuals consume included usage then on-demand; Teams bill from on-demand spend. Cursor's May 2026 blog gives a $1.00–$1.50 average run cost depending on PR size; this is a vendor average, not a fixed list price. Cursor's current pricing page lists Pro at $20/month and Teams at $40/user/month, with Bugbot on usage-based billing. Confirm current run rates at cursor.com/pricing#bugbot. 14-day free trial on the product page. Greptile: Starter: free, 1 active developer, 50 credits/month. Pro: $30/seat/month, 50 credits included per seat, then $1 per extra credit. Review tiers: Base (1 credit), Plus (3 credits), Apex (10 credits). A seat is any developer who received a Greptile review in that billing period. 14-day Pro trial. Free for qualified MIT/Apache non-commercial OSS. 50% off for pre-Series A startups under $2M trailing-12-month revenue.
What is the hourly or throughput limit for Cursor Bugbot vs Greptile?
Cursor Bugbot: No published hourly PR-review cap. API limits are endpoint-specific: POST /bugbot/review is limited to 30 requests/minute/team, dry runs to 10/minute/team, and admin API endpoints to 60/minute/team. Dry runs are still billed and persist findings, even though they do not write to the code host. These are API limits, not review allowances.

Starter: 50 credits/month for one active developer. Pro: 50 credits included per seat/month, then $1 per extra credit. A Base review uses 1 credit, Plus 3, and Apex 10.

Cursor Bugbot: Yes. Greptile: Not verified. Autofix is still a suggestion until your CI and humans accept it.
