AI Code Review

Qodo

Qodo reviews pull requests on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and Gerrit against your rules and repository context. Qodo Merge was the former name.

The 30-Second Take

Pick Qodo if one reviewer must enforce written standards across repositories on any of five Git platforms.

Qodo Review, formerly Qodo Merge, checks each pull request for bugs, rule violations, requirement gaps and cross-repository breaking changes. It runs on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps and Gerrit.

Best fit
Pull request review across several repositories and Git platforms, enforcing written team rules.
Main constraint
After the 14-day trial, every review draws from a paid credit pack; only qualified open-source projects get free access.
First move
A trial on one busy repository, with Review Standards written and an overage cap set before the trial ends.

Why

Watch the cost per review: about 18 reviews fit in a US$30 credit pack, by Qodo's own estimate, and every review is metered once the trial ends. Its Agentic Toolbox runs the same review inside coding agents before a pull request exists.

Comparisons

How does Qodo compare with the alternatives?

  1. Qodo vs CodeRabbit

    • AI Code Review

    Choose Qodo for one credit pool per workspace or on-premises below CodeRabbit's 500-seat minimum, and CodeRabbit for a free tier and an hourly allowance per developer. Price one month of your own pull requests on each before you pick.

  2. Start with the code review in Copilot Business or Enterprise if you work on GitHub.com. Add Qodo when repositories also sit on GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, or Gerrit, or when rules must hold across repositories.

  3. Qodo vs Greptile

    • AI Code Review

    Both bill reviews from one shared credit pool with no seat fees. Choose Qodo for a monthly credit pack or code on Azure DevOps or Gerrit, and Greptile for prepaid US$1 credits with no plan fee. Both read beyond the diff and run on your own infrastructure on Enterprise plans.

How you buy it

US$30

A month for Pro Team with 2,500 credits. The card says 30 users; the FAQ sets no user limit.

Source 1, qodo.ai, Pricing: PricingSource 2, Qodo, Pricing & usage: Pricing & usageSource 5, Qodo, Qodo for Open Source Projects: Qodo for Open Source Projects

Details

Qodo offers a 14-day trial with unlimited reviews and no card. Pro Team starts at US$30 a month for 2,500 credits at US$0.012 each, billed monthly. Pro Team has no user limit, per Qodo's FAQ and billing docs, and the 30-user figure on its pricing card is sizing guidance. Enterprise pricing is custom. Public GitHub repositories with 200 or more stars can get free open source reviews.

Cost drivers

About US$1.67

A review, by GILD's math from Qodo's estimate that the Pro Team credits cover 18 reviews.

Source 1, qodo.ai, Pricing: PricingSource 2, Qodo, Pricing & usage: Pricing & usage

Details

Reviews draw from one workspace credit pool. Larger pull requests use more credits, and credits expire monthly. Qodo estimates about 18 reviews per 2,500 credits, or about US$1.67 a review by GILD's calculation. Overage costs the same per credit, up to the customer's cap.

Where it runs

Five Git platforms

GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and Gerrit. Qodo set October 30, 2026 to retire its IDE plugin.

Source 3, Qodo, Deployment models by Git provider: Deployment models by Git providerSource 4, Qodo, Agentic Toolbox overview: Agentic Toolbox overviewSource 6, Qodo, Integrations (IDE plugin retirement): Integrations (IDE plugin retirement)

Details

Pull request review runs on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket Cloud and Data Center, Azure DevOps, and Gerrit. The Agentic Toolbox also runs local reviews in Claude Code, Codex, Kiro, and MCP clients. Qodo set October 30, 2026 as the IDE plugin's retirement date and points local review to the Agentic Toolbox.

What to verify

No training on code

Qodo says it does not train on your code. Air-gapped, SSO, and audit logs need Enterprise.

Source 1, qodo.ai, Pricing: PricingSource 3, Qodo, Deployment models by Git provider: Deployment models by Git providerSource 7, Qodo, Review Standards: Review StandardsSource 8, Qodo, Relevance: Relevance

Details

Qodo states that it does not train models on your code. Gerrit support and single-tenant, on-premises, and air-gapped deployments require Enterprise, as do BYOK, SSO/SAML, audit logs, and a DPA. On-premises deployment excludes Azure DevOps Cloud. Review Standards and Relevance are in beta.

How this figure is made

Current sentiment

Positive, mixed and negative sources

Of 23 team and maintainer accounts that give an opinion, 9 speak well of Qodo, 9 report both gains and problems, and 5 speak against it. All 7 team sources that discuss bug catches report real ones, and comment noise is raised by 8 of the 10 that discuss it. At Beko, developers resolved 73.8% of the reviewer's comments while average pull request closure time rose from 5 hours 52 minutes to 8 hours 20 minutes. Of the 8 teams that weighed keeping Qodo, 5 kept it and 3 dropped it.

Qodo beside the rest of its stackThe Stack Field, every product on every layer
FootprintQodo across the Agentic Software Development stack. Bar height is its role on each layer.
  1. Plan

    1. Work planning: Touches

      Work planning, touches. Qodo's review agent checks a pull request against its linked ticket or spec and reports requirement gaps. Planning stays in the issue tracker.

  2. Build

    1. Codebase context: Supports

      Codebase context, supports. The Context Engine indexes repositories, dependencies, and pull request history. The Software Map and Codebase Wisdom skill give that context to reviewers and coding agents.

    2. Coding: Touches

      Coding, touches. Findings include suggested fixes and a fix command. A coding agent writes the feature.

    3. Agent runtime: Touches

      Agent runtime, touches. The Agentic Toolbox connects Qodo review to Claude Code, Codex, Kiro, and MCP clients. Qodo set October 30, 2026 as the IDE plugin's retirement date.

    4. Tool execution: Supports

      Tool execution, supports. Reviews pull context from ticketing, documentation, and design tools such as Jira and Figma. Qodo exposes tools through MCP and its CLI.

  3. Validate

    1. Debugging: Touches

      Debugging, touches. Pull request chat answers questions about a change. Qodo has no runtime data, so it is not a debugging tool.

    2. Testing: Touches

      Testing, touches. Findings can point to missing tests. Qodo deprecated the v1 test generation command on September 1, 2026 with no replacement, so your test suite stays separate.

    3. Code review: Core

      Code review, core. This is Qodo's primary role. Its agents review each pull request for bugs, rule violations, requirement gaps, and cross-repository breaking changes, and rank findings by relevance learned from past reviews.

    4. Application security: Supports

      Application security, supports. Review agents flag security-relevant bugs and Review Standards can encode security rules. Qodo is not a SAST, secrets, or dependency scanner.

  4. Ship

    1. Source control: Supports

      Source control, supports. PR Triage ranks open pull requests by priority and wait time across repositories. The Git platform remains the system of record.

    2. CI/CD: Touches

      CI/CD, touches. Qodo posts reviews to the pull request and does not build or deploy. Teams that gate merges on it report parsing comments because Qodo publishes no check run.

  5. Operate

    1. Observability: Touches

      Observability, touches. Incident response stays outside Qodo, which has no production telemetry.
