Dromeas vs Greptile

Two fact sheets from our own research, side by side — pricing, platforms, API access and status re-checked by us rather than quoted from the vendors. Dromeas starts at $25, Greptile at $30. Both have a free tier. Both ship a public API.

What our research says

Dromeas

Positions itself against a single-model code reviewer by running several AI models together across quality, security, compliance and docs, then extending into release management rather than stopping at the review comment. The MCP server is a real, checkable differentiator for teams already working inside MCP-connected AI assistants. Who runs the company could not be confirmed from the site itself.

Pros

  • reviews every PR and trunk commit automatically, not just on request
  • uses multiple AI models together rather than a single reviewer
  • MCP server works directly inside common AI-assisted IDEs

Cons

  • credit-based pricing makes cost harder to predict than flat per-seat plans
  • company and founding details are not disclosed on the site
  • private-repo support requires the paid tier, since the free tier is public-repo only

Greptile

The full-repo index is the difference that matters - it flags cross-file breakage that diff-only reviewers miss entirely. Billing only for developers who actually got a review that month is a fairer meter than flat per-seat. The 50 credits per seat go quickly on an active team, and $1 per extra review is where the real bill forms.

Pros

  • Indexes the whole codebase, so reviews carry cross-file context
  • Learns from the PR comments your team already writes
  • Seats bill only for developers who actually received a review that period
  • GitHub and GitLab plus an MCP server, an API and a self-hosting option

Cons

  • Credit model means an active repo will exceed the 50 included reviews per seat
  • Overage at $1 per review adds up quietly on a busy month
  • Free tier is capped at a single active developer

Which one fits

Choose Dromeas if you need

  • teams wanting automated review on every PR and trunk commit, not just on demand
  • engineering orgs already using MCP-connected AI assistants in their IDE
  • teams who want release management bundled with code review rather than as a separate tool

Choose Greptile if you need

  • Teams whose bugs come from cross-file coupling rather than local mistakes
  • Enforcing repo-specific conventions through custom rules
  • Orgs that need self-hosted review for code that cannot leave their network
