Gitar

A reviewer that treats a red build as the job: comments, then fixes, then re-runs CI. Distinct from comment-only bots.

  • GitHub or GitLab shops evaluating a Sonar-owned reviewer

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.

How a review works. The vendor describes codebase-aware review with proposed or applied fixes and CI verification under user-defined rules. Automatic recovery can attempt a follow-up fix; a green pipeline is a workflow goal, not a guaranteed outcome. Pro adds auto-approve, merge blocking and auto-apply. Core includes GitHub Actions / GitLab pipeline failure analysis; Pro adds CircleCI, Buildkite, and Bitrise. Repository rules live under `.gitar/`; a skip-label command was not confirmed in the sources reviewed.

Pricing (verified). 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.

Hourly / throughput. 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.

Trial. 14-day Pro trial, no credit card required. The current vendor source does not specify trial-specific per-user review or CI-fix allowances.
