What is Greptile?

Greptile is an AI codebase intelligence platform that indexes entire repositories to answer developer questions and review PRs with full repo context — understanding cross-file patterns, detecting duplication, and referencing existing conventions. It also exposes a REST API for teams to build internal tools on top of its indexed understanding. This breadth comes at a cost: Greptile pricing is typically $20–$40/user/month, setup requires full repo indexing (introducing latency), and there is no VS Code/Cursor extension or standalone review CLI.

Why switch?

Why teams switch to CodeReviewr

For teams whose primary need is quality PR review — not a codebase Q&A platform or internal tooling API — CodeReviewr delivers focused, actionable feedback at a fraction of Greptile's cost. CodeReviewr is typically 2–5× cheaper, installs in under two minutes with a GitHub App, and works immediately on any PR without a repo indexing step. It adds the VS Code/Cursor extension and CLI that Greptile doesn't have, plus structured severity levels and package CVE scanning built into every review.
