Coderabbit
An AI code reviewer that posts line-by-line feedback and summaries on every pull request.
CodeRabbit is an AI reviewer that installs as a bot on your Git host and comments on every pull request automatically. When a PR opens or updates, it posts a high-level summary and walkthrough of the change, then leaves line-by-line suggestions on the diff — flagging likely bugs, missing edge cases, and style issues — the same way a human reviewer would in the review thread.
It is aimed at teams that want a consistent first-pass review on every PR without waiting on a human, and at individuals who want to start on the free $0 plan — PR summaries and IDE/CLI reviews on both public and private repos, with a 14-day Pro Plus trial. It runs on the server, so there is nothing to add to your editor or CI to get a review.
Highlights
- PR summaries and walkthroughs — every pull request gets a generated description, a file-by-file walkthrough, and an optional sequence/architecture diagram of what changed.
- Line-by-line review comments — actionable suggestions on the diff with one-click committable fixes, plus a "Fix with AI" handoff for larger changes.
- Conversational review — reply to the bot in the PR thread to ask why a comment was made, request a re-review, or have it open an issue from the discussion.
- Learnings — it remembers feedback you give it (e.g. "we allow this pattern") and applies those preferences on future PRs across the repo.
- Configurable guidelines — a
.coderabbit.yamllets you set path-based and AST-based rules, and it runs 40+ static analysis and linting tools as part of each review. - Multi-platform — works on GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket, with IDE and CLI review modes in addition to the PR bot.
In an AI-assisted workflow
CodeRabbit sits between "open PR" and "request human review." When an agent like Claude Code or Cursor generates a branch, CodeRabbit reviews the resulting PR automatically, so machine-written diffs get a second pass before a teammate looks. You interact with it directly in the PR thread:
@coderabbitai Why is this comment flagged as a race condition?
@coderabbitai Generate unit tests for the changed functions.
@coderabbitai This pattern is intentional in our codebase — remember it.TIP
Commit a .coderabbit.yaml early. Encoding your conventions as path instructions cuts noise on the first few PRs far faster than dismissing comments one at a time.
Good to know
CodeRabbit's Free plan is $0/user and covers both public and private repos, but it is limited to PR summaries and IDE/CLI reviews, plus a 14-day trial of Pro Plus. The full line-by-line reviewer, linters, and SAST tools are gated to paid tiers: Pro ($24/user/month, billed annually) adds those line-by-line reviews, full codebase context, the issue planner, linters and SAST tools, and Jira/Linear integrations; Pro Plus ($48/user/month) adds advanced finishing touches (unit test generation, merge-conflict resolution) and higher rate limits; Enterprise adds SSO/SAML, custom RBAC, self-hosting, and an SLA at custom pricing. It reviews but does not merge — it is a reviewer, not an autonomous agent, so a human still approves and merges.
