Greptile
Codebase-aware AI that understands your entire repo
About
Greptile is a Y Combinator-backed AI code review tool that reviews pull requests on GitHub and GitLab. Its differentiator is a repository-wide graph index — it maps files, functions and dependencies before reviewing, then runs a swarm of agents to judge how each change affects the rest of the project. That is how it catches cross-file logic bugs, security risks and convention violations that diff-only linters and rushed human reviewers miss. It also learns from your team's past PR comments and from plain-English custom rules, so false positives should decline as the rule set matures. It is a reviewer, not a builder: Greptile does not write features, so it complements Cursor, Claude Code or Copilot rather than replacing them. Findings can be handed off to those agents for fixes through MCP and the /greploop command, and the TREX beta goes further by writing and running tests in a sandbox before merge. Support is deliberately narrow — GitHub Cloud and Enterprise Server, GitLab Cloud and Self-Managed, with no official Bitbucket integration — and review quality is strongest in Python, TypeScript, Go and about a dozen other mainstream languages. Pricing changed in March 2026 from a flat seat fee to a credit model, which is now the most common complaint about the tool: Starter is free for one active developer with 50 credits per month, Pro is $30 per seat per month with 50 credits included per seat and $1 per overage credit, and a TREX runtime-verification review consumes three credits. Enterprise adds self-hosting in your own AWS environment, SSO/SAML and air-gapped deployment. Qualifying open-source projects are free.
Key Features
- Repository graph indexing (files, functions, dependencies)
- Agent swarm evaluating cross-file impact
- TREX runtime verification in a sandbox (beta, 3 credits)
- Plain-English custom rules
- Learns from team PR comments
- MCP + /greploop fix handoff to coding agents
Deals, Discounts & How to Save
Greptile is free for one active developer (50 reviews/month) and free for qualifying open-source projects, so solo maintainers can run it at $0 indefinitely. On paid seats the risk is overage at $1 per credit, and TREX reviews cost three credits each — restricting TREX to high-risk PRs and tuning custom rules to cut noise is the fastest way to keep the bill predictable.
Pros
- Repository-wide graph index catches cross-file bugs
- Learns from your PR comments to cut false positives
- One-tap fix handoff to Claude Code / Cursor via MCP
- Generous free tier: 1 active developer, 50 reviews/month
Cons
- No official Bitbucket support — GitHub and GitLab only
- Credit overage makes the monthly bill hard to predict
- Noisy on very large diffs; needs triage
- Review only — it will not write the feature for you
Pro Tips for Greptile
Start on the free Starter tier (1 active developer, 50 credits/month) and count credits against your real PR volume before buying seats.
Budget TREX separately — one runtime-verification review consumes three credits, so it burns an allowance three times faster.
Write plain-English custom rules and curate the PR comments the tool learns from; review noise drops as the rule set matures.
Check your Git host first: there is no official Bitbucket integration, so this only fits GitHub and GitLab teams.
Chain reviews into fixes — findings hand off to Claude Code or Cursor through MCP so output ends in commits, not comments.
