Hi all! 👋

I'm launching CodeReviewr today, and I'll be blunt about why: I was tired of paying $30/month for a code review tool I used twice a week on my side projects.

The math didn't work. 8 reviews per month at $30 = $3.75 per review. For comparison, running those same reviews through an LLM costs about $0.15 each. The 25x markup exists purely because every AI code review tool uses per-seat, per-month pricing.

What we built differently:
Pay per token, not per developer. No subscriptions, no seat licenses. You get $5 in free credits (roughly 10-30 reviews depending on code complexity), then you pay only for what you actually use. No credit card required.

Who this is for:
Solo developers building side projects. Freelancers managing multiple client codebases. Small teams (2-12 people) who need professional code review but can't justify subscription costs for sporadic use.

If you're shipping code daily and drowning in PRs, CodeRabbit is probably a better fit. If you're working on a side project and doing 5-20 reviews per month, we built this for you.

What we're not:
We're not trying to be an enterprise platform. We don't have advanced collaboration features (yet). We're not replacing your entire DevOps stack. We're laser-focused on one thing: fair, transparent AI code review without subscription commitment.

The honest limitations:
Usage-based pricing has trade-offs. You need to monitor costs more actively than subscriptions. Very large PRs (500+ lines) cost more to review. If your usage is truly consistent and high-volume, per-seat pricing might be cheaper.

What I'd love to hear from you:
Are you currently using AI code review, or avoiding it because of pricing? What would make you actually try this?

I'll be here answering questions. Brutally honest feedback welcome! That's how we get better.

Thanks for checking us out. 🚀🚀🚀
