Korbit AI Review and Alternatives (2026)
Korbit AI shut down in September 2025, so this is a replacement decision, not a product comparison. If you are here because a Korbit review stopped appearing on your pull requests, that is why. The marketing site still renders and the GitHub App listing still shows an Install button, which is the confusing part, but the product behind them is gone. Prices for every replacement below were read off each vendor's page on 30 August 2026.
If you are picking a review tool as part of a wider testing stack, you can also see how Qodex reviews pull requests by running tests against the change.
One naming note, because search results mix these up: Qodo (qodo.ai) is not Qodex (qodex.ai). Different companies, similar names. Both appear below.
What happened to Korbit AI
CodeAnt published a migration notice dated 17 September 2025 saying that "Korbit AI has officially announced it is shutting down operations", and a current alternatives roundup agrees that it ceased operation in September 2025. The technical evidence is plainer than either write-up: korbit.ai/blog returns an S3 NoSuchKey error, and DNS lookups for app.korbit.ai and docs.korbit.ai return no record, checked 30 August 2026. The application and its documentation no longer resolve.
What still renders is a static marketing site on a CDN: the homepage, the security page, plan cards, demo buttons, an Atlassian Marketplace listing and a GitHub App page. All of it is a stale product record, not evidence that anyone can buy or activate Korbit today.
What Korbit did
Korbit was a pull request reviewer. It read a diff with project context, flagged bugs, explained the fix, wrote the PR description and review summary, and answered follow-up questions in the thread. It also produced manager-facing reports: engineering metrics, review progress, quality trends and weekly digests. That reporting layer was its clearest differentiator.
Its old homepage said it worked directly in GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket, and an Atlassian Marketplace listing called it an AI PR reviewer for Bitbucket. No IDE extension appears anywhere on the official pages, so it is fair to call it PR-native rather than IDE-native. The GitHub listing claimed "all common programming languages" without publishing a list. No public self-hosting path was documented, though Enterprise on-premises was offered.
On security, Korbit claimed SOC 2 Type II, TLS in transit, zero-day retention contracts with OpenAI and Anthropic, no training on customer code, and deletion of review code afterwards. Those are vendor claims from its trust page, now unverifiable, as are its homepage figures of 331 million lines reviewed and more than 22,000 developers.
Korbit pricing (historical, not purchasable)
These figures explain what an existing customer may have been paying. Korbit cannot be purchased or activated.
| Historical tier | Price and unit | Free plan or trial |
|---|---|---|
| Pro | $12 per user per month billed annually, $15 monthly | 14-day trial |
| Max | $18 per user per month billed annually, $24 monthly | 14-day trial; free for public open-source repos |
| Enterprise | Custom, on-premises | No published trial |
Third-party pages disagree with these numbers. One directory lists five free reviews a month and a $24 per-user plan. The figures above come from Korbit's own plan cards, the only first-party source that survives, and the disagreement cannot be settled now. What you are actually pricing is the replacement.
Where this leaves an existing Korbit customer
The limit is discontinuation, and it has two costs. The obvious one is that automated review stopped. The quieter one: any conventions Korbit had learned from your merged pull requests went with it, along with the review history. CodeAnt's migration notice lists both. That is a competitor's framing, but the mechanism is real. None of it exports.
Worth knowing before you shop: Korbit read diffs plus project context. Its own security page never claimed to compile your code, run tests or check the running application. If you were happy with Korbit, a static reviewer is a fair swap. If you always wanted the review to prove its findings, change category rather than vendor.
There is no usable complaint evidence to quote. The Reddit threads that surface were written by Korbit staff or promoted the product, the GitHub App page links no issue tracker, and no readable G2 profile exists.
Quick answer: choose a Korbit replacement by constraint
| Constraint | Pick | One line |
|---|---|---|
| Closest like-for-like PR reviewer | CodeRabbit | Same shape of product, on every major Git host. |
| GitLab or Bitbucket, or air-gapped enterprise | Qodo | Widest host list plus on-premises on Enterprise. |
| Findings proven against a running preview | Qodex | Reviews the PR and runs API, UI and security tests against it; GitHub only. |
| Deep whole-repo context, or free for one developer | Greptile | Repository graph review; Starter is $0 for a solo developer. |
| Lowest seat price, and a published self-host price | Bito | $12 a seat annual, the same figure Korbit Pro charged. |
| Stacked pull requests | Graphite | AI review inside the stack workflow; GitHub only. |
| Team lives in Cursor | Cursor Bugbot | Findings hand off to the editor; pay per run. |
| Already paying for Copilot | GitHub Copilot code review | No new vendor; credits per review. |
| Monorepo with analyzers first | DeepSource | Explicit monorepo support; AI review metered by lines. |
| Security gate | Snyk Code | SAST only; not a general reviewer. |
| Self-managed deterministic gates | SonarQube | Community Build is free and open source. |
Korbit alternatives at a glance
Prices checked 30 August 2026. "Not offered" means the vendor's page does not sell it, not that it cannot be negotiated. For a wider view of the category, see our guide to the best AI code review tools.

Data Center), Azure DevOps (limited availability) | Usage-based: vendor says an average run costs $1.00 to $1.50 depending on PR size; Cursor Individual Pro $20/mo, Teams $40/user/mo | 14-day trial; no permanent free Bugbot allowance | Not offered | Teams already writing code in Cursor | Spend varies per PR and effort level; no fixed rate card |
| GitHub Copilot code review | Native diff review inside GitHub | GitHub only (Azure DevOps in public preview) | Copilot Pro $10/mo (individual); Copilot Business $19/user/mo; each review also spends GitHub AI credits (GitHub's estimate $0.05 to $1 per Lite review, $0.25 to $5 per Balanced review) plus Actions minutes on private repos | Copilot Free ($0) does not include code review | Not offered | GitHub teams already on Copilot who want a basic pass at no extra vendor | Copilot only posts Comment reviews, so it cannot approve or block a merge; credit spend is variable |
| DeepSource | Deterministic analyzers plus metered AI review | GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps | Team $24/user/mo annual ($30 monthly); AI Review $8 per 10,000 processed lines (standard) or $15 (advanced) after a $100 annual credit per user | Open Source plan free for public repos (AI review pay as you go); 14-day trial with up to $50 in AI credits | Enterprise: self-hosted, air-gapped, bring your own model key | Monorepos and teams that want analyzers first, AI second | "Unlimited PR reviews" does not cover the AI review, which is metered by lines |

The 11 best Korbit alternatives in 2026
1. CodeRabbit
The nearest thing to what Korbit was: PR summary, inline comments, one-click fixes, chat in the thread, learned team rules, linters and a SAST pass, across all three of Korbit's hosts plus Azure DevOps.
Price and unit (checked 30 August 2026): Pro $24 per user per month billed annually, Pro Plus $48, Security add-on $40, the unit being a developer who opens pull requests. Public repositories are free; there is no permanent free private plan. That is double what Korbit Pro cost, which is the honest headline for a migration.
The catch is throughput: 5 reviews per developer per hour on Pro, 10 on Pro Plus. Korbit's manager reports have no exact equivalent. More in our CodeRabbit alternatives guide.
2. Qodo
The strongest fit if you were on GitLab or Bitbucket and need rules enforced across the organisation. Qodo is an AI code review and governance platform, formerly CodiumAI: PR review, org rules, and a context engine across repositories and PR history.
Price and unit (checked 30 August 2026): Pro Team $30 a month for 2,500 pooled credits, which Qodo estimates at about 18 reviews, then $0.012 per extra credit, up to 30 users. Bigger pull requests cost more credits, and unused credits expire monthly.
It adds Gerrit on Enterprise to the four major hosts, covers VS Code, JetBrains and a CLI, and deploys as single-tenant SaaS, on-premises or air-gapped. If Korbit Enterprise on-premises was your setup, this is the closest published equivalent.
3. Qodex
Qodex changes the category rather than replacing the vendor. It is an AI QA agent that reviews pull requests and also runs API, UI and security tests against the pull request's preview. It is not a pure code review tool, and it is GitHub only, so it cannot cover a Bitbucket or GitLab team.
Six passes run before a comment posts: more than a dozen deterministic analyzers per language (semgrep, gitleaks, osv-scanner), a full read of every changed file with no size gate, a blast-radius pass over the code graph, two frontier models from different labs whose findings are merged and tagged, live read-only probes against the preview, and a Check Run that can block the merge. Korbit read the diff and reasoned. Qodex tries the change and attaches the failing request, response or screenshot.
Price and unit (checked 30 August 2026): Free $0 per developer covers a PR summary on every pull request, unlimited public and private repositories, the GitHub App and status check, and CLI reviews. Pro is $24 per developer per month annual or $30 monthly, a US price with lower regional pricing; Pro Plus is $48 or $60.
The honest limit: the execution half needs a reachable preview and saved scenarios. Without those you are comparing static passes. Detail on how the review works, and Aravind Murthy at Factors.ai on the result in a case study.
4. Greptile
Greptile indexes the repository into a graph of files, functions and dependencies, then reviews each pull request against that whole-repo context rather than the diff alone. TREX, its runtime validation mode, is in beta and costs three credits instead of one.
Price and unit (checked 30 August 2026): Pro $30 per seat per month including 50 credits per seat, then $1 per extra credit. Starter is $0 for one active developer on unlimited repositories with 50 credits a month, which is the only free plan here that works on private repositories for a solo developer.
GitHub and GitLab only, cloud and self-managed, with no documented Bitbucket support. Enterprise self-hosting runs on Docker Compose or Kubernetes, air-gapped included. See our Greptile review and alternatives for the full picture.
5. Bito
The closest match on price. Bito Team is $12 a seat annual, exactly what Korbit Pro charged, across the same three Git hosts. It is a codebase-aware review agent that works in Git hosts, IDEs and the CLI, with custom rules, incremental reviews and analytics.
Price and unit (checked 30 August 2026): Team $12 per seat per month annual, $15 monthly; Professional $20 annual, $25 monthly. Each seat includes 5,000 reviewed lines a month, then $5 per extra 1,000 lines. There is no permanent free plan.
It covers GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket in cloud and self-hosted forms, plus VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor and Windsurf. Professional adds self-hosting for $5 per seat per month, the one published self-host price here. Model the line meter: a refactor-heavy month costs extra.
6. Graphite
A different workflow rather than a deeper reviewer, worth it only if your team wants stacks. Graphite is a GitHub workflow platform: stacked pull requests, a PR inbox, a merge queue, a CLI, a VS Code extension, and AI Reviews run by Graphite Agent, earlier marketed as Diamond.
Price and unit (checked 30 August 2026): Starter $20 per user per month annual with limited AI reviews; Team $40 annual with unlimited AI reviews, automations and the merge queue. Hobby is $0 for personal repositories.
GitHub only, with no self-hosting, so it cannot cover a GitLab or Bitbucket team leaving Korbit. Without stacked pull requests it is a $40 seat for unlimited AI review, and cheaper seats do that.
7. Cursor Bugbot
For teams already writing code in Cursor. Bugbot reviews pull requests for bugs, security issues and code quality, with repository rules, selectable effort and a handoff into the editor for the fix.
Price and unit (checked 30 August 2026): usage-based, and Cursor says an average run costs $1.00 to $1.50 depending on pull request size. Cursor Individual Pro is $20 a month, Teams $40 per user per month. There is no permanent free Bugbot allowance.
It covers all four major hosts, which matters for a Bitbucket team. Coming from Korbit's flat per-user price, run the arithmetic: monthly pull requests multiplied by $1.50 is the number to compare. See our Cursor Bugbot alternatives comparison.
8. GitHub Copilot code review
The no-new-vendor option if your team was on GitHub and already pays for Copilot. The reviewer is requested from the pull request reviewer panel or run automatically, with suggested fixes, custom instructions and an effort setting.
Price and unit (checked 30 August 2026): Copilot Pro $10 a month, Copilot Business $19 per user per month. On top of the seat, each review spends GitHub AI credits, estimated at $0.05 to $1 per Lite review and $0.25 to $5 per Balanced review, plus Actions minutes on private repositories. Copilot Free does not include code review.
GitHub only. The limit that catches teams out: Copilot posts Comment reviews only, so it cannot approve or block a merge. If Korbit was a required check in your branch protection, this cannot take that slot.
9. DeepSource
The monorepo and analyzers-first answer, with air-gapped deployment on Enterprise. DeepSource combines static analysis, security scanning, Autofix and a metered AI review on pull requests.
Price and unit (checked 30 August 2026): Team $24 per user per month annual, $30 monthly. AI Review is charged separately at $8 per 10,000 processed lines on standard or $15 on advanced, after a $100 annual credit per user.
It covers all four major hosts, and Enterprise supports self-hosting, air-gapped installs and your own model key. Read the plan wording carefully: "unlimited PR reviews" covers the deterministic analyzers, not the AI review, which is metered by lines.
10. Snyk Code
The security branch of the decision. Snyk Code is static application security testing that finds vulnerabilities in source code and suggests fixes, inside Snyk's wider platform.
Price and unit (checked 30 August 2026): Team from $25 per contributing developer per month, with a free plan at $0 per contributing developer covering 100 Snyk Code tests a month.
It covers GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure Repos. There is no self-hosted Snyk Code: Snyk Broker connects a private Git server, but the analysis runs in Snyk's cloud. Run it beside a general reviewer, not instead of one.
11. SonarQube
The self-managed answer, and the one that cannot be shut down out from under you. SonarQube is deterministic code quality and security analysis with gates on branches and pull requests, sold as Cloud, a self-managed Server, and the open-source Community Build.
Price and unit (checked 30 August 2026): Cloud Team from $34 a month per instance for up to 100,000 lines of code; Server is priced per instance per year by lines of code. The Cloud free tier covers 50,000 private lines and never expires.
It covers GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket Cloud and Azure DevOps. It is not a conversational reviewer, so it will not replace Korbit's explanations. What it gives you is auditable rules and a gate you control.
Migrating off Korbit
Assume nothing transfers. There is no export and no documented migration path, so this is a rebuild, not a move.
Inventory what remains: connected repositories, Git hosts, review rules, path exclusions, severity settings, required merge checks, and any reports the team still has.
Accept that learned behaviour is gone. Recreate those conventions as rules in version-controlled files, so the next migration is cheaper than this one.
Choose by the workflow you had. CodeRabbit for the nearest PR bot, Qodo for GitLab or Bitbucket and org-wide rules, Greptile for repository context, Bito if the $12 seat was why you were on Korbit, and Qodex if the missing layer was executed testing.
Run a shadow trial on 20 to 30 already-merged pull requests including known bugs, harmless changes and one large refactor. Record useful findings, wrong findings, duplicate comments, review time and billed usage. Our guide on how to do code reviews using AI covers what to watch.
Start in advisory mode. Do not make a new reviewer a required check until you know its false-positive rate and its cost on your own code.
Rebuild rules as code: a CodeRabbit configuration file, Qodo instructions, Greptile rules, or
.cursor/BUGBOT.md. Rules in a repository survive the next vendor change.Clean up the old integration. Revoke the Korbit app, remove stale webhooks and tokens, and confirm no required status check still points at a bot that will never report again. That last one silently blocks merges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happened to Korbit AI?
Korbit shut down in September 2025. A migration notice dated 17 September 2025 says it "officially announced it is shutting down operations", and the technical evidence agrees: korbit.ai/blog returns an S3 error, and app.korbit.ai and docs.korbit.ai have no DNS record as of 30 August 2026.
Is Korbit AI still available in 2026?
No. The marketing site, plan cards, Atlassian Marketplace listing and GitHub App page all still render, which makes it look available. They are stale records on a CDN. The application and documentation hosts do not resolve, so there is nothing to install or sign in to.
What is the closest replacement for Korbit?
CodeRabbit, for most teams. It is the same shape of product, a dedicated reviewer with summaries, inline comments and chat, and it covers GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket like Korbit did, plus Azure DevOps. Expect to pay more: Pro is $24 per user per month annual against Korbit Pro's historical $12.
Is there a free Korbit alternative for private repositories?
Two. Greptile Starter is $0 for one active developer with unlimited private repositories and 50 reviews a month. Qodex Free is $0 per developer and puts a summary on every pull request across unlimited repositories. Neither replaces a full team plan.
What is the best open-source Korbit alternative?
Qodo's PR-Agent is the open-source project behind Qodo's review lineage, and you can self-host it with your own model key. If a deterministic gate is enough, SonarQube Community Build is free and open source, and nobody can switch it off remotely.
Which Korbit alternatives can be self-hosted?
Qodo Enterprise offers on-premises and air-gapped deployment. Bito publishes a price, $5 per seat per month on top of Professional. Greptile and DeepSource support self-hosting on Enterprise. SonarQube Server and Community Build are self-managed products rather than an enterprise concession.
Which Korbit alternatives support GitLab and Bitbucket?
CodeRabbit, Qodo, Bito, Cursor Bugbot, DeepSource and Snyk Code all document both. SonarQube covers GitLab and Bitbucket Cloud. Greptile has GitLab but no documented Bitbucket. Graphite, Qodex and GitHub Copilot code review are GitHub only, so they cannot cover a Bitbucket team.
What is the best Korbit alternative for a monorepo?
Greptile, if you want cross-file reasoning, since a repository graph is what a monorepo needs. DeepSource lists monorepo support explicitly and pairs deterministic analyzers with an optional AI pass. Qodex scopes each review to the directory that changed.
Which alternative is best for security review?
Snyk Code, if security is the actual requirement. It is purpose-built static application security testing with data-flow analysis and fix suggestions across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure Repos. It is not a general reviewer, so run it alongside one. SonarQube fits better if you also want deterministic quality gates.
Can Korbit rules, comments or learned preferences be migrated?
No. No automatic migration path was documented before the shutdown, and the application host no longer resolves, so there is nothing to export from. Preserve any configuration you still have locally, then recreate the rules in your replacement as repository files, not dashboard settings.
The short version
Korbit is gone, and the replacement question is really two. If its static review was doing the job, CodeRabbit or Qodo will feel familiar, and Bito matches the old price. If what you wanted was a review that proves its findings, switch category instead of vendor: Qodex reviews pull requests against a running preview.
