Getting started with CodeReviewr

Set up CodeReviewr in under 60 seconds and start getting AI-powered code reviews on your pull requests

Get instant AI code reviews on every pull request. No waiting for reviewers, no context switching, just fast feedback when you need it.

#Sign up with GitHub

Visit codereviewr.app and sign in with GitHub. We use GitHub OAuth—no separate account needed.

New accounts get $5 in free credits automatically. That's enough for 10-30 reviews to see if CodeReviewr works for your workflow.

#Install the GitHub App

After signing in, go to Settings and click "Install GitHub App." Choose your personal account or organization, then select which repositories to review. Installation takes about 30 seconds.

#Automatic reviews

Create a pull request in any connected repository. CodeReviewr automatically:

  1. Detects the PR via GitHub webhooks
  2. Analyzes the diff using AI
  3. Posts review comments on the PR
  4. Reviews only new changes (incremental reviews save credits)

No manual triggers, no comment commands. Just push code and get feedback.

#Review categories

Issues are categorized by severity:

  • Critical: Security vulnerabilities, production-breaking bugs
  • High: Major functionality issues, performance problems
  • Medium: Bugs that impact UX, technical debt
  • Low: Code style, minor improvements
  • Info: Suggestions and best practices

Each issue includes the file path, line number, and explanation. CodeReviewr focuses on meaningful problems—security, bugs, performance—not style nitpicks.

#Limitations

CodeReviewr works best for PRs under 300KB of changes. Very large PRs (generated code, massive refactors) may be skipped. Split large changes into smaller PRs anyway—it's better practice.

We currently support GitHub only. Reviews happen automatically and usually complete within seconds for small PRs.

#Managing costs

Every review costs credits based on code size. You can see exact costs in your workspace dashboard after each review.

To control spending:

  • Monitor token usage and costs per PR in the dashboard
  • Uninstall CodeReviewr from repos you don't want reviewed

Credits never expire. If you run out, reviews pause automatically—we won't charge your card without your action.

#Next steps

Create a test PR and watch CodeReviewr work. Review a few PRs, check your usage dashboard to understand costs, then adjust your workflow as needed.
