ReviewRouter vs AI code review apps

See how popular reviewers compare — then look at where your code, keys, and prompts actually go.

The key difference

A hosted dashboard. Reviews run on your side.

We handle setup, history, and health. The AI review runs inside your GitHub Actions, so your code and credentials stay with you.

Product	Where it runs	Where code goes	Best for	Control
RRReviewRouter	Runs in your GitHub Actions Inside your CI, on your runners	Code and diffs never reach our servers	Teams that can't send code to a vendor	Highest You own the code, keys, and runs
CRCodeRabbit	Cloud, or self-hosted at enterprise scale SaaS by default; self-host starts at 500 Enterprise seats	Cloud reviews leave your network; self-hosting keeps them inside	Fast setup; self-host only at enterprise scale	Medium-High Higher only on the self-hosted Enterprise path
