// the pricing math

For a 10-dev team: CodeRabbit = $190–$240/mo. PullLight = $20/mo. Crossover at 1 developer.

CodeRabbit (Pro) $190–$240/mo 10 devs at $19–$24/dev
◈ PullLight $20/mo whole team, flat

CodeRabbit is priced per seat. The math is simple: the moment you have more than one developer, PullLight costs less. At 10 developers you're spending 10–12× more for a tool that posts comments without asking you first. PullLight is $20/mo flat regardless of team size — locked in for beta teams that sign up now.

// the honest take

When CodeRabbit is the right call — and when it isn't.

CodeRabbit is the market leader for a reason. It has the most polished onboarding, the richest feature set (one-click fixes, severity levels, PR summary), and a two-minute install. If your team already uses it and likes it — if the auto-posted comments feel useful rather than noisy — it's a reasonable choice.

The tradeoff is what happens when the false-positive rate climbs. CodeRabbit's feedback loop is real: it learns from reactions over time. But engineers learn faster. After a few weeks of scrolling past bot noise, the comments become wallpaper. You can't un-train that reflex.

PullLight solves the noise problem at the source. Every finding is reviewed before it posts. The result is a smaller set of comments that developers actually read — because a human already decided each one was worth their attention. If you've started muting your code review bot, PullLight is the rebuild.
