// the pricing math

For a 10-dev team: Greptile = $300+/mo. PullLight = $20/mo. And Greptile overages stack when agents ship more PRs.

Greptile (base) $300/mo 10 devs at $30/dev

Greptile (with overages) $300+/mo each agent-generated PR past quota = $1

◈ PullLight $20/mo whole team, all PRs, flat

Greptile's 50-review-per-seat cap was designed for 2024 PR volumes. Claude Code and Cursor weren't the norm yet. In 2025, a single AI coding agent can open more than 50 PRs per developer per month without blinking. Greptile even acknowledged this when they introduced overages. PullLight has no such ceiling — flat $20/mo regardless of how many PRs your agents ship.

// the honest take

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

Greptile earns its reputation on depth. The indexed codebase approach means it understands that a function change on line 42 breaks an invariant established three files away. If you work on a large, tightly-coupled monorepo and need cross-file reasoning, Greptile's analysis is genuinely richer than a diff-only reviewer.

The tradeoffs are real though. Indexing takes time on first setup. And once reviews are flowing, they auto-post — your PR fills with AI comments before a human has looked. The per-seat pricing plus overage model also creates billing surprises the moment your team adopts an AI coding agent workflow.

PullLight trades depth for precision. It doesn't index your whole codebase — it analyzes the diff and queues findings for a human to approve. If most of your bugs are visible in the diff (auth issues, null pointer derefs, SQL injection), you don't need cross-repo context. You need a human to decide before the comment posts. That's what PullLight does.

Where Greptile wins

◆ Full codebase indexing — Greptile understands cross-file context and multi-hop dependencies PullLight's diff-only analysis misses.
◆ Larger monorepo support — useful for tightly coupled codebases where a single function change has far-reaching implications.
◆ Multi-agent architecture — specialized agents per check type (security, logic, test coverage).

Where ◈ PullLight wins

✓ Human-in-the-loop approval gate — nothing posts to your PR until a human approves it. Greptile auto-posts.
✓ Flat pricing — $20/mo for the whole team. No overages, no per-seat math, no billing surprises when agents ship more PRs.
✓ 8/8 benchmark score — PullLight caught all 8 CVE-confirmed bugs in head-to-head testing.
✓ Zero indexing wait — no setup delay before your first review is available.
✓ One-click Fix PRs — multi-file patch opened as a real GitHub PR.

// frequently asked

PullLight vs Greptile — common questions.

Does Greptile have a human approval gate before posting? +

No. Greptile posts inline comments directly after analysis completes. PullLight queues every finding at /reviews — nothing posts until a human approves it.

How does the pricing compare for a 10-person team? +

Greptile is $30/dev/mo base, plus $1/review overage after 50 reviews per developer per month. A 10-person team pays $300/mo base — and overages hit fast when AI coding agents start opening more PRs. PullLight is $20/mo flat regardless of team size or PR volume.

What's the trade-off between Greptile's codebase indexing and PullLight's diff-only analysis? +

Greptile's codebase index gives it cross-file context — it can detect that a change on line 42 breaks an invariant established three files away. PullLight analyzes the diff only, which is faster and requires no setup but misses cross-repo dependencies. For most security, null-safety, and logic bugs, the diff is sufficient. For large, tightly coupled monorepos, Greptile's indexing provides genuine additional depth.

Can I try PullLight without uninstalling Greptile? +

Yes. PullLight installs as a separate GitHub App and can run alongside Greptile. See the migration guide for a side-by-side setup.

Does PullLight have overage charges like Greptile? +

No. PullLight is $20/mo flat — unlimited PRs, unlimited developers. There are no overage fees regardless of how many PRs your team or AI agents submit.
