CodeRabbit

What it is for

CodeRabbit is an AI pull-request reviewer: the product settings canvas (see the cover: Walkthrough toggles + live Preview) is the same review you get on GitHub/GitLab. Use it when the job is a walkthrough on every PR, not when you want Tab-complete in the editor.

It is not open source. Public repositories are free. Paid seats start at Essentials.

What makes it unique: the cover is CodeRabbit’s own Walkthrough settings with a real sequence-diagram preview — not a bunny logo.

Key features

• Walkthrough settings — changed-file summary, sequence diagrams, related issues/PRs, labels (cover).
• Live Preview — the same markdown the bot will post (cover).
• PR comments — line notes plus a walkthrough on each review.
• Public repos free — no seat on public GitHub/GitLab projects (pricing).
• YAML / concise modes — switch how the review is written.

Who it's for

Best fit: teams that want an automatic PR walkthrough and will pay when the repo is private.

Poor fit: people who want an in-editor pair programmer (GitHub Copilot) or a credit-pack reviewer (Qodo).
