CodeRabbit Pricing in 2026: Every Plan, Real Team Costs, and How Usage-Based AI Code Review Compares
CodeRabbit pricing in 2026, verified on coderabbit.ai/pricing: Essentials $24, Team $48 and Advanced $72 per developer per month billed annually, hourly review limits, $0.25 per file overage, free public repos, team cost math for 5 to 50 developers, and how usage-based AI code review compares.
CodeRabbit pricing is per developer per month: Essentials is $24, Team is $48 and Advanced is $72 when billed annually ($30, $60 and $90 month to month), and Enterprise is custom. Public repositories are reviewed free, new organizations start with a 14-day trial, and each plan caps how many pull requests a developer can have reviewed per hour, with a $0.25 per file pay-as-you-go option past that cap.
That is the short answer. The longer answer matters more when you are budgeting AI code review for a real team: hourly limits, how the overage is billed, what 5, 20 and 50 developers actually pay, and how a seat-based bill compares with usage-based GitHub code review.

How much does CodeRabbit cost per developer in 2026?
CodeRabbit costs $24 per developer per month on Essentials, $48 on Team and $72 on Advanced when billed annually, or $30, $60 and $90 when billed month to month. Enterprise is custom-priced through CodeRabbit's sales team.
| Plan | Billed annually | Billed monthly | PR reviews per developer per hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | Free | PR summaries only |
| Public repositories | Free | Free | Not applicable |
| Essentials (formerly Pro) | $24 / developer / month | $30 / developer / month | 5 |
| Team (formerly Pro Plus) | $48 / developer / month | $60 / developer / month | 8 |
| Advanced | $72 / developer / month | $90 / developer / month | 10 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | 12 |
Two naming notes save a lot of confusion when you read older comparisons. Essentials used to be called Pro, and Team used to be called Pro Plus. And the $30 figure quoted around the web is real: it is the month-to-month Essentials price, not a stale number. CodeRabbit also says you are only charged for developers who create pull requests, so a reviewer who never opens a PR does not need a seat.
Is CodeRabbit cheaper on annual or monthly billing?
Annual billing is cheaper: CodeRabbit's pricing page says annual plans save 20%, which works out to $6 per developer per month on Essentials, $12 on Team and $18 on Advanced. In every case the annual price is four fifths of the monthly price.
The trade-off is commitment. Monthly billing lets you add and remove seats as the team changes. Annual billing locks in a seat count for the year in exchange for the lower rate. If your headcount is stable and you are confident in the tool after the trial, annual is the obvious choice. If you are mid-evaluation or your team is growing fast, monthly keeps you flexible.
What are CodeRabbit's hourly review limits?
Each CodeRabbit plan caps how many pull request reviews a single developer gets per hour: 5 on Essentials, 8 on Team, 10 on Advanced and 12 on Enterprise. These are per-developer rate limits, not monthly quotas.
For most human-paced work, 5 reviews per developer per hour is plenty. Where the limit starts to matter is agent-heavy workflows. When a developer is driving Claude Code on GitHub, Codex or Cursor and opening several small PRs in quick succession, or pushing repeatedly to the same branch, the hourly ceiling is the thing you hit first. That is the main practical reason teams step up a tier: not features, but headroom.
What happens when you go over CodeRabbit's hourly limit?
Past the hourly limit, CodeRabbit offers continued reviews at $0.25 per reviewed file, added to the monthly invoice. Admins choose whether continued reviews run automatically, on demand, or not at all, and can set a monthly spending cap. CodeRabbit's usage-based add-on docs say the default cap is Unlimited, so set one if you want a ceiling.
Because the overage is priced per file rather than per pull request, the cost of a burst depends on how wide your PRs are. A PR touching 4 files costs 4 x $0.25 = $1.00 under pay as you go, and a PR touching 20 files costs 20 x $0.25 = $5.00. Narrow PRs are cheap at this rate. Wide refactors are not.
Is CodeRabbit free?
CodeRabbit is free forever for public repositories, has a Free plan limited to PR summaries, and starts new organizations on a 14-day trial. CodeRabbit's docs say the trial is on the Advanced tier and needs no credit card. For an open-source maintainer, the public-repo offer is a real one. For a private codebase that wants full reviews, you are on a paid seat after the trial.
What does CodeRabbit pricing look like for 5, 20 or 50 developers?
A 20-developer team pays $480 a month on Essentials or $960 a month on Team when billed annually. The full matrix is simple multiplication: seats times the per-developer price.
Essentials
| Team size | Annual billing (monthly cost) | Annual billing (per year) | Monthly billing (monthly cost) | Monthly billing (per year) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 developers | 5 x $24 = $120 | $1,440 | 5 x $30 = $150 | $1,800 |
| 20 developers | 20 x $24 = $480 | $5,760 | 20 x $30 = $600 | $7,200 |
| 50 developers | 50 x $24 = $1,200 | $14,400 | 50 x $30 = $1,500 | $18,000 |
Team
| Team size | Annual billing (monthly cost) | Annual billing (per year) | Monthly billing (monthly cost) | Monthly billing (per year) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 developers | 5 x $48 = $240 | $2,880 | 5 x $60 = $300 | $3,600 |
| 20 developers | 20 x $48 = $960 | $11,520 | 20 x $60 = $1,200 | $14,400 |
| 50 developers | 50 x $48 = $2,400 | $28,800 | 50 x $60 = $3,000 | $36,000 |
Advanced
| Team size | Annual billing (monthly cost) | Annual billing (per year) | Monthly billing (monthly cost) | Monthly billing (per year) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 developers | 5 x $72 = $360 | $4,320 | 5 x $90 = $450 | $5,400 |
| 20 developers | 20 x $72 = $1,440 | $17,280 | 20 x $90 = $1,800 | $21,600 |
| 50 developers | 50 x $72 = $3,600 | $43,200 | 50 x $90 = $4,500 | $54,000 |
These figures are the base subscription only. If developers regularly exceed their hourly limit, continued reviews at $0.25 per file sit on top, up to whatever monthly cap your admin configures.
The key property of this model is that the bill tracks headcount, not how much code gets reviewed. A developer who opens two PRs a month costs the same seat as one who opens two hundred. That is a feature for some teams and a mismatch for others.
When is CodeRabbit a good buy?
CodeRabbit is a good buy when your team is stable, your PR volume per developer is high, and you value a predictable per-seat line item. Seat pricing rewards heavy, consistent usage: the more reviews each developer runs, the lower the effective cost per review.
It is also a strong fit when:
- You maintain public repositories. Free reviews forever on public repos is hard to beat.
- Finance wants a fixed number. A seat count times a rate is easy to forecast and easy to approve.
- Detection quality matters and you are comparing closely. On Macroscope's own 118-bug code review benchmark, CodeRabbit caught 45.8% (54 of 118) against Macroscope's 48.3% (57 of 118). That is a close result, and CodeRabbit is a capable AI code review tool.
Where seat pricing fits less well is uneven usage: teams with many occasional contributors, teams where coding agents generate a large and growing share of PRs, or teams that only want review on a few repositories. In those cases you pay for seats that do relatively little review work.
How does CodeRabbit pricing compare with usage-based AI code review?
Usage-based AI code review charges for the code actually reviewed instead of the number of people on the team. Macroscope's Code Review costs $0.05 per KB of diff on the default Balanced mode and $0.025 per KB on Budget, with a 10 KB minimum per review. Across customers, billed reviews average 55 cents on Budget and 76 cents on Balanced. There are no per-seat fees, no seat minimums and no annual commitment, and every new workspace starts with $100 in usage credit.
The other Macroscope meters are separate: Status is $0.05 per commit, and Agent is $0.01 per credit with 1,000 Agent credits included per workspace per month. One prepaid workspace balance covers all three. The comparison below is Code Review only, since that is the like-for-like product. See pricing for the full details.
Spend controls are built in: caps per review and per PR (by default $10 per review and $50 per PR on automatic reviews, both adjustable), monthly budget limits, auto-review turned off by repo or label, and file exclusions. A review someone requests by hand is not held to the per-review and per-PR caps, but the monthly workspace budget always applies.
Is CodeRabbit or Macroscope cheaper for a real team?
At Macroscope's customer averages, 20 reviews per developer per month costs about $15 on Balanced or $11 on Budget, below a $24 CodeRabbit Essentials seat. This is an illustration, not a quote, and the assumptions are stated so you can swap in your own.
Assumptions for the illustration:
- Each developer gets 20 PR reviews per month.
- Macroscope reviews are priced at the customer averages: 76 cents on Balanced and 55 cents on Budget.
- CodeRabbit is priced at the annual seat rate, with no continued-review overage.
| Team size | Reviews per month | Macroscope Balanced | Macroscope Budget | CodeRabbit Essentials, annual | CodeRabbit Team, annual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 developers | 100 | 100 x $0.76 = $76 | 100 x $0.55 = $55 | $120 | $240 |
| 20 developers | 400 | 400 x $0.76 = $304 | 400 x $0.55 = $220 | $480 | $960 |
| 50 developers | 1,000 | 1,000 x $0.76 = $760 | 1,000 x $0.55 = $550 | $1,200 | $2,400 |
Now the honest counter-case. Change one assumption and the answer moves:
- Bigger diffs. Macroscope bills by diff size. A 40 KB review on Balanced costs 40 x $0.05 = $2.00, so 20 of them cost $40 per developer per month, more than Essentials at $24 annual and less than Team at $48 annual.
- More reviews. At 60 reviews per developer per month, the Balanced average works out to 60 x $0.76 = $45.60, roughly the price of a Team seat billed annually.
- Small diffs. Small PRs bill at the 10 KB minimum: $0.50 on Balanced or $0.25 on Budget.
The pattern is straightforward. Seat pricing wins when each developer runs a lot of large reviews. Usage pricing wins when review volume is uneven across the team, when diffs are moderate, or when only some repositories need review. For the per-PR math, see AI code review cost per pull request. For the other credit-based option, see Greptile pricing in 2026. For the full field of seat-based and usage-based options, see the best CodeRabbit alternatives.
What do you get from Macroscope beyond the price?
Macroscope bundles several GitHub PR review features into the same usage-based price, so the comparison is not only about cost.
- Cross-file bug detection. The review looks past the diff into the rest of the repository, explained in how AI code review catches bugs across files.
- Fix It For Me opens a fix PR, runs CI and iterates until tests pass. Trigger it by replying to a review comment on GitHub or by messaging @Macroscope in Slack.
- Approvability auto-approves low-risk PRs and escalates risky ones.
- Check Run Agents let you write custom AI checks in plain-English Markdown that run as GitHub check runs and can block merges.
- Precision. Code Review v3 posts 22% fewer comments overall.
- Security. SOC 2 Type II, no training on customer code, encryption at rest and in transit.

How should you test CodeRabbit and Macroscope pricing before you commit?
Try each product against your own pull request volume, then divide each bill by the PRs it reviewed. CodeRabbit gives new organizations a 14-day trial, and Macroscope gives every new workspace $100 in usage credit, so both can be priced on real work before you sign anything.
- Count how many PRs your team opens in a typical month and note your usual diff size. Those two numbers drive a usage-based bill.
- Install Macroscope on a repository; setup takes about five minutes. Watch the per-review cost in your workspace for a couple of weeks.
- Price CodeRabbit for the developers who actually open PRs, at the tier whose hourly limit fits how they work.
- Judge each tool by the comments that found real bugs, not the comment count.
- Whichever tool you keep, make AI code review a required check on GitHub so every PR gets reviewed before merge.
