Qodo scored 60.1% F1 in an independent benchmark of eight AI code review tools, the highest of the group. It is an agentic code review and test generation platform: four specialized agents check bugs, quality, security, and coverage in parallel, then generate a unit test for any gap they find.
About Qodo
Qodo is an agentic code integrity platform for reviewing, testing, and writing code. Founded in Tel Aviv in 2022 as CodiumAI by Itamar Friedman and Dedy Kredo, the company rebranded to Qodo in September 2024 alongside a $40 million Series A. A $70 million Series B followed in March 2026, bringing total funding to $120 million; the platform has 40,000+ weekly active users, including Nvidia, Walmart, Red Hat, Intuit, and Texas Instruments as customers. Qodo 2.0, released February 2026, replaced the single-pass review model with four parallel specialist agents covering bugs, code quality, security, and test coverage gaps, and it topped an eight-tool AI code review benchmark for accuracy (see Key Features below). Where most review tools stop at flagging a gap, Qodo writes the missing unit test for it directly inside the same pass. The codebase runs on an open-core model: the core is licensed under AGPLv3, with a separate commercial license covering enterprise-only features like SSO, BYOK, and on-prem deployment. Teams and Enterprise customers have their submitted code and review data deleted within 48 hours rather than retained for model training.
Pricing
No permanent free tier. Every workspace gets a 14-day trial with unlimited reviews and credits, no credit card required. Pro Team runs $30/month flat for up to 30 users, including about 2,500 credits (roughly 18 PR reviews). Extra credit packs go up to 5,000 credits (about 36 reviews) or 20,000 credits (about 144 reviews), both at $0.012 per credit once the base allowance runs out. Enterprise is custom priced for 30+ users and adds SSO/SAML, BYOK, and single-tenant or on-prem deployment.
Key Features
- Multi-Agent Code Review: Four specialized agents run in parallel on every pull request: bug detection, code quality, security analysis, and test coverage gaps, scoring a 60.1% F1 and 56.7% recall, the top result among eight AI code review tools measured independently.
- AI Test Generation: When a review finds an unhandled edge case, Qodo writes a runnable unit test for that exact scenario in the same pass rather than just flagging the gap, a step most commercial review tools skip.
- Six-Platform Git Support: Qodo connects natively to six Git platforms: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, CodeCommit, and Gitea, plus a fully self-hosted deployment option for air-gapped environments.
- Rules System: Discovers recurring patterns from accepted pull request comments and turns them into up to 10 custom rules per repository, enforcing team-specific coding standards automatically on every review.
- Cross-Repository Code Review: A beta capability, added June 2026, that detects breaking changes across repository boundaries, configurable to run automatically or against manually targeted repos.
Pros
- The multi-agent architecture catches more real bugs than single-pass reviewers and was the top scorer across eight independently benchmarked AI code review tools.
- Native support for six Git platforms, not just GitHub, means teams on GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, CodeCommit, or Gitea get the same review depth without a workaround.
- Test generation is built into the review pass itself, so a flagged gap arrives with a runnable test rather than a note asking a person to write one.
Cons
- Pro Team costs more per seat than some rivals: GitHub Copilot Business runs $19 a month and CodeRabbit runs $24, both cheaper than Qodo's own per-seat price.
- The credit system resets on a rolling cycle from each seat's first use rather than the calendar month, and premium models burn credits faster than standard ones, which reviewers say makes monthly cost hard to predict.
- Review quality on a brand-new repository with little commit history takes weeks to reach the accuracy Qodo shows in its own benchmarks, so results lag on fresh codebases.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Qodo actually cost?
Qodo has no permanent free tier as of 2026. Pro Team is priced at $30 monthly, a flat rate covering teams of up to 30 seats with roughly 2,500 credits bundled in (about 18 PR reviews); additional credit packs run up to 20,000 credits at $0.012 each in overage. Teams past 30 seats move to custom Enterprise pricing, which layers on SSO/SAML, BYOK, and on-prem deployment.
Can you use Qodo without paying?
Not for long: Qodo dropped its permanent free tier, so every new workspace instead gets a 14-day trial with unlimited PR reviews and credits, no credit card required. Once the trial ends, you need a paid Pro Team or Enterprise plan to keep reviewing. Qualified open-source projects can apply separately for free access through the Qodo for Open Source program.
What are Qodo's closest competitors?
Greptile is the closest pure-play alternative, built to index an entire codebase rather than just a diff so it catches bugs spanning multiple files. TestMu AI leans toward the QA side of the stack, pairing a free tier with cross-browser and cross-device test execution. Kusho stays narrower still, generating API and UI test suites without touching pull request review at all.
How does Qodo compare to GitHub Copilot in 2026?
Copilot is built around code completion and chat inside GitHub and VS Code, with review as an add-on layer. Qodo is built specifically for review and test generation: its multi-agent architecture is benchmarked for accuracy, and it writes a full unit test for gaps it finds rather than Copilot's completion-style scaffolding. Qodo also reaches GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, CodeCommit, and Gitea, where Copilot stays GitHub-and-Microsoft-centric.
How do you set up Qodo?
Connect your Git provider (Qodo supports six, including GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket) from the dashboard and it starts reviewing new pull requests automatically. Add the VS Code or JetBrains plugin for inline reviews and test generation while you code, or wire in the Qodo Gen CLI to trigger reviews from a CI/CD pipeline. Setup takes minutes, and your first automated review lands during the trial before any paid plan is required.
Top Alternatives
- Greptile: Pick Greptile if you want whole-codebase indexing for cross-file bug detection; pick Qodo if you want AI-generated unit tests built into the same review pass.
- TestMu AI: Pick TestMu AI if a free tier and cross-browser test execution matter most; pick Qodo for benchmarked PR-level code review with built-in test generation.
- Kusho: Pick Kusho if you need dedicated API and UI test suite generation; pick Qodo if you want that alongside full pull request review.
