Greptile vs Ito

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. Greptile starts at $30, Ito at $40. Both have a free tier. Only Greptile ships a public API.

GreptileIndexes the whole repo, then reviews pull requests with cross-file context rather than diff-only context.ItoBuilds your pull request in a sandbox, clicks through the app like a user, and reports the runtime bugs

What our research says

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

Ito

Most AI reviewers argue about the diff; Ito actually runs the branch and tells you what broke, which catches the class of bug static analysis never sees. The trade is cost and scope: $40 buys 20 reviews a month per seat, and every review after that is metered, so a busy repository adds up quickly.

Pros

  • Boots the app in a sandbox and exercises user flows instead of only reading the diff
  • Attaches video, screenshots and logs so each failure arrives with a reproduction
  • Framework-agnostic, with React, Vue, Next.js, Rails and Django named on the site
  • Free plan for MIT/Apache open-source repos, plus 100 free reviews to trial it

Cons

  • Only 20 reviews per seat are included; extras cost $3 apiece
  • No company name, address or country published anywhere on the site
  • Nothing on the site about self-hosting or a programmatic API

Which one fits

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

Choose Ito if you need

  • Teams whose worst bugs are runtime, not syntax
  • Web apps with real user flows worth exercising on every pull request
  • Open-source maintainers, who qualify for the free tier
