Pros	Excellent JetBrains + VS Code support Tight GitHub PR integration Now offers multiple model choices Free tier for individuals	Whole-repo graph index catches cross-file bugs that diff-only reviewers miss TREX sandbox actually executes tests against the PR to catch behavioural regressions Learns from a team's accept/dismiss patterns, so noise drops over time Custom rules can be written in plain English rather than a DSL Same index is exposed via REST API and MCP, so it doubles as a codebase retrieval backend for other agents Free tier for open-source and a self-hosted AWS option for regulated industries Ships with GitHub, GitLab, Zapier and Claude Code integrations out of the box
Cons	UX less integrated than Cursor Multi-file edits are catching up but not yet leading	Seat-based pricing plus per-review credits gets expensive on high-PR-volume monorepos Initial indexing on very large repositories takes time and must be kept in sync Underlying model providers are not disclosed on the marketing site, which matters for buyers with strict data-processing requirements Review quality still depends on the team investing in feedback loops and custom rules early on SaaS default sends code to Greptile's cloud — self-hosting is enterprise-tier only
