Qodo

AI code review that checks every pull request against your team's rules before merge.

3.7our rating
PaidFrom From $30/mo in pooled creditsWorks with Claude Code

Quick take

  • An AI reviewer that comments on every pull request, judged against your codebase and the rules you write down.
  • No free plan now: a 14-day trial, then the Pro Team plan billed as pooled credits (from $30 for roughly 18 reviews a month), with bigger reviews using more.
  • Works on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, and inside VS Code, JetBrains and Visual Studio.
  • CodeRabbit is the easier, cheaper starting point for small teams. Qodo makes more sense when you need custom rules across many repos or on-premise hosting.

What is Qodo?

Qodo (formerly CodiumAI) reviews code. When someone opens a pull request on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or Azure DevOps, several AI agents read the change against the rest of your codebase and your team's written rules, then leave comments on bugs, missing tests, security problems and rule breaks. Developers can run the same review in VS Code, JetBrains or Visual Studio before they push, and a CLI lets coding agents like Claude Code check their own work.

Pick it when your team is shipping more AI-written code than people can carefully review, and you want consistent standards enforced across many repositories. CodeRabbit, already in the library, is the main alternative: it has a free plan and is easier to start with, while Qodo leans harder into custom rules, cross-repository context and enterprise hosting options. Qodo started out known for writing unit tests, but its current product is centred on review.

The catch: there is no free plan any more, only a 14-day trial, and the team plan is sold as pooled credits where bigger pull requests cost more, so you have to watch usage. Like every AI reviewer, it raises some comments that aren't worth acting on, and it takes tuning of your rules to cut the noise.

Who's using it, and who it's for

  • Software teams
  • Engineering managers
  • Tech leads
  • Enterprise development teams

Software teams who want every pull request checked for bugs and against their coding standards before a person reviews it.

Key features

  • Multi-agent pull request review

    Several agents check each change for bugs, security issues, missing tests and rule breaks, and comment inline.

  • Rules and skills

    Write your team's standards once and have every review check against them, across all repositories.

  • Codebase context

    Reviews look at related code in other files and repositories, not just the lines that changed.

  • Review in the IDE

    Run the same review in VS Code, JetBrains or Visual Studio before you open a pull request.

  • CLI for coding agents

    Lets agents like Claude Code run Qodo's checks on the code they've just written.
