CodeRabbit Pricing and CodeRabbit Cost per Developer for Teams

If you are on an older CodeRabbit subscription, nothing changed in your invoice. CodeRabbit's pricing FAQ says Essentials is the new name for Pro and Team is the new name for Pro Plus, and that both kept their prices: $30 per developer per month, or $24 billed annually, for Essentials, and $60, or $48 annually, for Team. Existing subscriptions display the new names automatically.

This matters when you compare quotes. Review sites and older blog posts still list "Pro at $24" and "Pro Plus at $48", which are the same plans under the old names, and a few list a $15 seat or a free plan for private repositories that CodeRabbit's current page does not offer. The genuinely new items are the Advanced tier at $72, the security features that come with it, and usage-based reviews.

CodeRabbit says there is no total limit on pull requests or repositories. What each plan does limit is bursts: Essentials allows 5 pull request reviews per developer per hour, Team 8, Advanced 10 and Enterprise 12. When a developer passes that allowance, usage-based reviews let eligible reviews continue instead of waiting for the hour to roll over.

Admins choose one of three settings, Automatic, On demand or Off, and set a monthly spending cap. Continued reviews cost $0.25 per reviewed file and are added to the monthly invoice. A pull request that touches 12 files therefore costs $3.00 to review past the allowance, and a 40-file refactor costs $10.00.

• Automatic keeps every review flowing and is the setting that can surprise you on a large monorepo change.
• On demand continues only the reviews someone asks for, which is the sensible default for most teams.
• Off holds reviews until the hourly allowance refreshes and keeps the bill flat.

For a team that mostly opens small pull requests, the hourly allowance is rarely the constraint. It bites during release crunches and when an AI coding agent opens many pull requests in a short window, so set the cap before you connect agents that create pull requests on their own.

CodeRabbit charges only for developers who create pull requests, not for everyone in your GitHub or GitLab organization. Reviewers, product managers and engineers who comment but never open a pull request do not need a seat. Admins can also assign purchased seats manually to specific developers and reassign them at any time.

Plan changes follow the usual pattern: an upgrade from Essentials to Team takes effect immediately with prorated billing for the rest of the cycle, and a downgrade takes effect at the end of the cycle. For budgeting, count the people who opened at least one pull request in the last month, not your headcount. On a team with a few staff engineers who mostly review, that difference is often two or three seats.

CodeRabbit is free for public open-source repositories. You sign up with GitHub or GitLab, install CodeRabbit on a public repository and get reviews with no seat charge. Private repositories need a paid plan, and every paid plan starts with a 14-day trial that does not ask for a credit card.

That makes the trial the real test for a business buyer. Fourteen days is enough to run CodeRabbit on two sprints of real pull requests and count how many comments your team acted on, which is the only accuracy number worth trusting. Vendor benchmarks for AI code review disagree with each other widely, and several are published by competitors.

CodeRabbit Enterprise is custom priced and billed annually. CodeRabbit does not publish a rate, and third-party estimates of Enterprise pricing are not figures you can rely on. What the plan includes is public: everything in Advanced, custom role-based access control, SSO and audit logging, API access, a self-hosting option, multi-organization support, SLA support, a dedicated customer success manager, vendor security review and contract redlines, and an EU SaaS deployment.

One detail is useful for US companies with committed cloud spend: CodeRabbit lists payment through the Claude, AWS and Google Cloud marketplaces as an Enterprise option. Buying through a marketplace can draw down a commitment you have already signed, which is often easier to approve than a new vendor contract. Enterprise is also the only plan where usage beyond the allowance is arranged with the account team rather than billed per file.

Two CodeRabbit products are billed separately from any plan. CodeRabbit Agent runs coding tasks in the cloud, works inside Slack and runs automations, and costs $0.40 per agent minute after any trial and free minutes. Turning on paid Agent usage gives everyone in your organization access, so set its own monthly spending cap. An agent that runs for 15 minutes costs $6.00; one hour costs $24.00, the same as a month of Essentials on annual billing.

CodeRabbit Security Scan checks your full codebase for exploitable vulnerabilities by tracing data flow, and it uses variable, usage-based pricing. Continuous security monitoring and security review on each pull request are included on Advanced and Enterprise; the full-codebase scan is extra on every plan.

Per-developer pricing makes sense when every developer opens pull requests every day. It costs more than it needs to when review volume is uneven, when a few repositories produce most of the changes, or when you want a reviewer for automated pull requests from dependency bots and coding agents that do not map to a person.

The Code Reviewer agent in our catalog reviews every pull request on the repositories you connect, comments with concrete fixes and enforces your conventions, for a flat monthly price from $49 rather than a price per developer. It connects to GitHub with permissions you can revoke. Teams often run it next to a seat-based tool, or use it instead on internal repositories. Compare it with the other coding agent pricing models on our AI agent pricing guide and the GitHub Copilot pricing page.
