Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
CodeRabbit
AI agent
CodeRabbit's software-lifecycle agent driven from a Slack thread, billed by the time the agent is actually working rather than by tokens.
Developer tool
AI code review that reads every pull request and leaves line-level comments, walkthroughs and suggested fixes on GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps and Bitbucket.
AI code review run from a terminal, so a change can be reviewed locally or inside another coding agent's loop.
Free CodeRabbit review that runs inside VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf on uncommitted changes, before a pull request exists.
Continuous code security scanning sold beside the review product, as full-repository scans and per-seat pull-request security licences.
Ranks open pull requests by impact so a team reviews the risky ones first; in public beta for GitHub Cloud organisations.
GitLab
AI agent
Add-on that embeds Amazon Q agents in GitLab Self-Managed to perform feature planning, code generation, unit test generation, merge request review, vulnerability remediation and Java codebase upgrades.
Developer tool
Code completion and generation in the IDE that predictively completes code blocks, writes function logic and generates tests inside GitLab-supported editors.
No counterpart
GitLab sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for CodeRabbit yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Agent platform
Agent platform inside GitLab that combines conversational assistance with purpose-built agents for planning, development, security and deployment, governed by the same enterprise controls as the repository.
Platform
Add-on that runs the GitLab AI Gateway and customer-chosen large language models inside the customer's own infrastructure so GitLab Duo request and response data stays in that environment.
Data service
Context graph that indexes a GitLab instance's code, merge requests, pipelines, deployments and ownership data into a queryable property graph for AI agents and engineers.
