How is MicroReview different from CodeRabbit?

MicroReview adds a 0-100 risk score per PR, merge blocking on critical findings, a dedicated GitHub Checks API integration with inline annotations, and hardcoded secret detection across 13 patterns. It also starts free and scales to $19/mo per repo vs CodeRabbit's higher per-seat pricing.

Does MicroReview work with private repositories?

Yes. MicroReview works with both public and private repositories on GitHub and GitLab. The GitHub App requests only the minimum permissions needed: read access to code for PR diffs and write access to post review comments and check runs.

What programming languages does MicroReview support?

AI bug detection and secret scanning work on any language. Deep static analysis rules including naming conventions, Spring Boot patterns, and validation checks are available for Java, TypeScript, and Python today with more language-specific rule sets coming soon.

Is my source code sent to AI?

Only the files your pull request touches are sent to the AI — the changed lines plus the surrounding file and the local files it imports, which is what makes the review accurate instead of guessing at missing context. Your wider repository is never uploaded. Code is sent over HTTPS, is not used to train models, and is retained by the AI provider for at most 30 days for abuse monitoring before deletion.

How much does MicroReview cost?

MicroReview starts free with 2 repos and 50 reviews per month. The Pro plan is $19/mo per repo with unlimited reviews and AI bug detection. The Team plan is $15/mo per repo for 5+ repos with analytics, SSO, and config inheritance.

Docs

Getting started

MicroReview reviews every pull request the moment it opens — bugs, secrets, and a 0–100 risk score. Setup is three steps and about thirty seconds.

Install the GitHub App

One click from the GitHub Marketplace — pick the repos you want reviewed. No YAML required, no server to run. GitLab users: sign in and enable repos from onboarding instead.

Open a pull request

Static rules, 13 secret patterns, SAST checks and AI analysis all run on the diff the moment the PR opens. The AI pass reads the full changed files and the local files they import, so it doesn't flag things that are already defined.

Read the score

Every PR gets a 0–100 risk score as a comment and a GitHub check. Clean PRs auto-approve; critical findings block the merge until resolved. Tune both thresholds per repo in .microreview.yml.
