Code review that indexes the whole repo first, so it catches the bug three files away.

Greptile's pitch is context. Rather than reviewing a diff in isolation, it builds a graph of the repository and reviews changes against it, which is what lets it catch the class of bug that most AI reviewers miss entirely: the change that is fine on its own but breaks a caller in another file. It runs multiple agents in parallel over a pull request, learns your team's conventions from how you respond to its comments, and accepts custom rules written in plain English. Self-hosting is available for enterprises. Pricing is per seat with a bundle of review credits included and extra reviews billed on top, plus a free option for qualifying open-source projects. That credit model is the thing to watch: on a busy repository with a lot of PRs, the effective monthly cost can land well above the headline per-seat figure, so model your actual PR volume before committing. It also overlaps heavily with CodeRabbit and Graphite — pick one, not three.
