Pros and cons

Attribute	GitHub Copilot	Qodo
Pros	The cheapest paid plan in the category with unlimited autocomplete Works inside the editors and the GitHub site you already use Agent and code review are built into the GitHub workflow Enterprise controls are mature because GitHub already had them	Reviews use context from the wider codebase, not just the diff Custom rules applied across every repository Supports all the major Git platforms Enterprise hosting options, including on-premise
Cons	Agent quality lags Claude Code and Codex on complex tasks $10 of credits a month disappears quickly once you use agents Pretty pointless if your code is not on GitHub Business and Enterprise prices are not published	No free plan any more, only a 14-day trial Credit-based pricing makes cost per review uneven and harder to budget Some comments are noise until you tune your rules Product and plan names have changed several times, which makes older reviews confusing
