Greptile goes deep — multi-hop codebase reasoning, indexed context. But it still auto-posts. And at $30/dev/mo plus overages, it reprices every time your team grows.
Pricing verified from public sources as of June 2026. Where a competitor's stance is unclear we mark it Unclear.

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.
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.
No install required. Paste a PR URL or raw diff — Claude analyzes it and returns structured findings instantly.
