## Footnotes
1. **Codex** — the [Codex CLI is open source](https://developers.openai.com/codex/); the hosted Codex product is closed.
2. **Claude Code** — the [`anthropics/claude-code-action`](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/github-actions) GitHub Action is open source; the Claude Code CLI/platform is a commercial Anthropic product.
3. **Qodo** — the [PR-Agent core](https://github.com/qodo-ai/pr-agent) is AGPL-3.0 and supports OpenAI GPT, Claude, DeepSeek, and more. The hosted Qodo Merge product is a closed commercial layer on top.
4. **Greptile** — OSS and startup discounts are available but not a free tier. ([greptile.com/pricing](https://www.greptile.com/pricing))
5. **Codex** — "Codex for Open Source" program offers free API credits and ChatGPT Pro access by application.
6. **Qodo** — Developer tier is \$0/month with 30 free PRs/month promo and 75 credits. ([qodo.ai/pricing](https://www.qodo.ai/pricing/))
7. **CodeRabbit** — self-host is available only to Enterprise customers with 500+ seats; on the self-hosted build, customers plug in OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, or Anthropic directly. ([docs.coderabbit.ai/self-hosted/github](https://docs.coderabbit.ai/self-hosted/github))
8. **Greptile** — self-hosting in AWS is available only on the Enterprise plan, which also unlocks BYO LLM. ([greptile.com/pricing](https://www.greptile.com/pricing))
9. **Claude Code** — reviews run on GitHub-hosted runners via the Action; the Claude Code CLI itself runs locally. No "self-hosted control plane" in the MergeWatch sense.
10. **Claude Code** — built as a single-agent loop with tool use and a configurable `--max-turns`; not a pre-built multi-agent review pipeline.
11. **CodeRabbit / Cursor BugBot** — 14-day free Pro trials rather than a free tier.
12. **Codex** — bundled with ChatGPT Plus/Pro/Business/Edu/Enterprise plans; API access is pay-as-you-go at standard OpenAI rates.
13. **Greptile** — Cloud is $30/seat/month with 50 reviews included + $1 per additional review.
14. **Copilot code review** — non-licensed org members access it through "premium requests" that bill separately.
15. **Claude Code** — Action runs cost GitHub Actions minutes + Anthropic API tokens; subscription plans are per-seat.
16. **Qodo Teams** — \$30/user/month annual with 2,500 credits/user/month.
## How to use this matrix
* **If self-hosting is a requirement**, only MergeWatch and Qodo offer it without seat gates; CodeRabbit and Greptile have enterprise-only paths.
* **If you need local/air-gapped inference**, MergeWatch (via Ollama) and Qodo (via on-prem/air-gapped deployments) are the only options listed.
* **If you want a fully open-source review pipeline you can audit line-by-line**, only MergeWatch offers this under AGPL-3.0 across the full pipeline (Qodo's PR-Agent is AGPL but the hosted product is closed).
* **If you already pay for Copilot, ChatGPT, or Claude**, the bundled review features are the cheapest marginal cost — but you lose multi-model choice and most have no self-host option.
