Pros and cons

DeepSeek

Pros

  • Web chat and mobile apps are free
  • API output costs from $0.60 per 1M tokens (Flash, off-peak), well below most frontier providers
  • Open weights for V4 and earlier models on Hugging Face
  • 1M-token context and 384K max output on both API models
  • API works with both OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs and several coding agents

Cons

  • Peak-hour API rates are double the off-peak rates on weekday mornings UTC
  • deepseek-v4-pro does not support vision input
  • No image generation
  • Data is processed by a company based in China, which some organizations cannot accept

Greptile

Pros

  • Reviews use a graph index of the whole repository, so findings can cover impact beyond the changed lines.
  • Plain-English custom rules and learning from past pull request comments adapt reviews to team standards.
  • Works with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket, and hands findings to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or Devin.
  • Self-hosting and air-gapped deployment are available for regulated organizations.
  • Free tier for one developer, free use for qualified open source, and 50% off for early startups.

Cons

  • Third-party comparisons report more false positives than some competitors; one competitor-run test claims nearly 60% of comments were nitpicks or false positives, which should be read as a rival's claim.
  • Pro costs $30 per seat per month and extra credits cost $1 each, with Plus and Apex reviews using 3 and 10 credits.
  • Self-hosting, SSO/SAML and GitHub Enterprise support require the custom-priced Enterprise plan.
  • Focused on pull request review only; it is not an editor or coding assistant.
