atestu | on: Open Code Review – An AI-powered code review CLI tool
We've been using Coderabbit, great deal ($30/mo/dev flat) and finds a lot.

I also built a skill I call `/meta-review` that asks Codex, Cursor, and Gemini to review the code (I use Claude Code). It always finds little things claude & I missed.

Coderabbit just came out with their own PR review UI that's great for big PRs, it groups files together etc. https://www.coderabbit.ai/blog/introducing-atlas-the-first-a...

Not sure why you got downvoted, and I have nothing against CodeRabbit, but this comment feels a bit like a paid ad :)

How do you see CodeRabbit against other AI code review solutions? E.g. cubic.dev, Qodo, Graphite, Greptile, Baz, Augment Code...

An alternative UI to GitHub is well overdue. But once someone will get it right, everyone will copy them...

That’s exactly why I’m getting downvoted, and I get it tbh. I knew people would ask for recommendations. It’s ok.

I haven’t used any of the tools you mentioned. We started using coderabbit just this year. The new PR review UI just came out. It’s made for big AI reviews which internally we’re trying to rein in. I like the direction they’re moving in with that, it uses AI to help you rather than bypass you. So you have the automated review that catches a bunch, and then they have a tool for you to step in and do your own review faster.

It’s funny there’s someone replying to me saying coderabbit is the best they’ve ever seen and in another thread someone else says it’s the worst. If that’s not AI for you… you just gotta try it

Tried it a while back and my team asked me to remove it. But maybe they improved since then.

Is it actually flat fee? I loved Cursor bugbot which was flat fee but they moved to per-run and that killed it for me, but a lot of others are doing the same.

Yes! They just have a rate limit but we never run into it (we’re just 3 people though).

Yea I liked bugbot too but it became pretty pricey.

I've tried many AI code review tools. Nothing comes close to the depth of CodeRabbit reviews. It's the only such tool that can find real logical bugs. I'd love to be able to get Claude Code to do similar quality of review, but I can't get it right, no matter how I try.

Even if this was true, it’s hard to believe, and written a bit like an ad. Eg no vendor would get me to write a comment like this. All the more so, I tried CR and my team asked me to remove it. Maybe they got better but it’s a bit weird to me considering they only charge $20 and Claude Code say they estimate the same cost for a single PR for their competing product.

Well, I'm just an extremely happy user. I've honestly tried to find an alternative, and couldn't. I'm using it in the context of solo developer and it provides a huge value to me.
