Greptile is an AI reviewer that comments on pull requests on GitHub or GitLab. Instead of just reading the diff, it builds a graph index of the whole codebase first, so it can flag things like a changed function that breaks a caller three files away. It learns from how a team responds to its comments over time, and teams can write custom rules in plain English to enforce their own conventions.
It runs as a bot on PRs, from the command line, or through its API and MCP server (usable from Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and Codex). TREX, now in public beta, goes further and writes and runs targeted tests in a sandbox instead of just commenting. Greptile also has a partner program that reviews code against the docs and known failure patterns of specific third-party APIs (Stripe, OpenAI, Vercel, and others).

Who it's for
- ✓ Teams that want review comments grounded in the full codebase, not just the diff
- ✓ Solo developers who want a genuinely free reviewer with no seat limit on repos
Who should look elsewhere
- ✗ Teams shipping a high volume of PRs per developer, since credits run out fast and overages add up
- ✗ Buyers who want one flat, predictable per-seat price with no usage math
Pros
- + Codebase-wide context catches cross-file bugs that diff-only reviewers miss
- + Free Starter plan has no repo limit, just a 50-review cap for one developer
- + TREX writes and runs its own tests against a PR, not just comments
- + Self-hosting is available for teams that need code to stay in their own infrastructure
Cons
- – Pro plan switched to metered billing in March 2026: $30 covers 50 reviews, then $1 each after that
- – Heavy PR volume can get expensive fast: critics point to one developer's bill reportedly jumping from $30 to over $500 after 571 PRs in a month
- – Enterprise pricing isn't published, so budgeting requires a sales call
Greptile pricing
What you pay for
Greptile charges $30 per seat a month for 50 review credits, then $1 for each extra credit. On March 5, 2026 it moved from a flat per-seat price to this credit-based model, so heavy PR volume can push the bill well past $30. Pricing for the Starter and Pro tiers is public on the site. Enterprise (self-hosted, SSO, dedicated support) is quote-only.
At about $30/month to start, it sits mid-pack on price in AI Code Review.
| Plan | Price | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | Free | 1 active developer · Unlimited repositories · 50 review credits per month |
| Pro | $30/seat/mo | Unlimited users on the team · 50 credits included per seat, $1 per extra credit · Custom rules and unlimited external app integrations |
| Enterprise | Custom | Self-hosted option · SSO/SAML, GitHub Enterprise support · Dedicated Slack support, custom contract terms |
Pro is billed monthly only; there is no self-serve annual discount, though Enterprise supports custom annual and multi-year contracts. 1 credit = 1 standard PR review; a TREX test-and-run review costs 3 credits. Pre-Series A startups under $2M revenue get 50% off Pro. Open source projects on MIT or Apache licenses can qualify for free access. Enterprise pricing is custom, not published.

Greptile FAQ
Is Greptile free?+
Yes, for one developer. The Starter plan is free forever and includes unlimited repositories and 50 review credits a month, but it doesn't support a team.
How much does Greptile cost for a team?+
The Pro plan is $30 per seat a month and includes 50 review credits per seat. Extra credits cost $1 each, so a developer who reviews far more than 50 PRs a month pays more.
Why did people get upset about Greptile's pricing?+
On March 5, 2026 Greptile announced it was moving from a flat $30 per seat to a $30-plus-overage model, saying less than 10% of active users would exceed the included usage. Critics pointed out that Greptile's own stated average of 1.2 reviews per PR means the 50-credit cap covers only about 42 PRs a month, and cited developers with high PR volume (especially those using AI coding agents) whose bills reportedly jumped well past $30, in one case from $30 to over $500.
Does Greptile write and run tests, or just comment?+
By default it comments on PRs like most review bots. TREX, in public beta, goes further: it generates targeted tests and runs them in a sandbox as part of the review.
