Closed source Since 2024 Visit Website Docs Share X Facebook Reddit Telegram Bluesky Email Automated AI code review and bug fixing for GitHub. Ellipsis catches logical bugs, style violations, and anti-patterns on every commit, and can generate working, tested code from GitHub comments using @ellipsis-dev. Installed in 67,000+ repositories and trusted by 400+ companies. ## + Pros - Unlimited usage at $20/dev/month — predictable pricing with no surprise charges for high-volume teams - Free for public GitHub repositories, making it accessible for open-source projects - Catches logical bugs, not just style issues — focuses on runtime-impacting defects - Async code generation via @ellipsis-dev in GitHub comments reduces context-switching from PR review to implementation - SOC 2 Type 1 certified with zero data retention — source code never persisted - Style-guide-as-code lets teams define standards in natural language - YC-backed (W24) with strong adoption (67,000+ repos) ## − Cons - GitHub only — no GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps support currently - No self-hosted option — cloud-only deployment - No IDE integration — operates entirely through GitHub pull requests - Async-only workflow — no real-time coding assistance or autocomplete - Small company compared to Microsoft (Copilot) or Cursor — fewer resources for support and development ## Pricing ### Public Repos Free Full access for public GitHub repositories. AI reviews, code generation, Q&A. ### Developer $20/dev/month Unlimited usage across private repos. All features: reviews, code gen, Q&A, style guides, changelogs. ### Enterprise Custom Contact for custom pricing, SSO, dedicated support, and compliance requirements. ## Introduction Code review is the bottleneck that every engineering team faces. As AI coding assistants accelerate code production, the gap between what gets written and what gets reviewed widens. Ellipsis attacks this problem from a practical angle: it lives where the code lives (GitHub), reviews every commit, and can even write the fix. Ellipsis is not a linter, not a formatter, and not a CI pipeline. It is an AI code review and bug-fix agent that installs in two clicks, works across all languages, and has been adopted by 67,000+ repositories and 400+ companies. Backed by Y Combinator (W24), it processes 3,900+ commits daily and has become the default AI reviewer for teams that want something that actually works. ## How Ellipsis Works Ellipsis operates entirely through GitHub, with six core capabilities: - Smart Code Reviews — Automatically catches logical mistakes, anti-patterns, and style guide violations on every commit of every pull request. Ellipsis understands your codebase context and flags issues that impact correctness, not just formatting. - Async Code Generation (@ellipsis-dev) — Assign work to Ellipsis by commenting @ellipsis-dev on any issue or PR with a description of what you need. Minutes later, Ellipsis returns working, tested code as a pull request. - Question & Answer — Tag @ellipsis-dev with a question right from a GitHub comment. Ask about code patterns, existing implementations, or how to approach a problem. - Style Guide-as-Code — Write your team's coding standards in natural language. Ellipsis will flag violations on every PR, ensuring consistency without maintaining complex linter configurations. - Feedback Learning — Ellipsis learns which types of comments your team values. If you dismiss certain warnings, it adjusts its review focus accordingly. - Change Log Generation — Create weekly summaries of what changed in your codebase and why it matters, saving engineering managers hours of manual reporting. ## Security Model Ellipsis takes a strong stance on security: - SOC 2 Type 1 Certified — Independently audited. Reports available on request. - Zero Data Retention — Ellipsis does not persist your source code anywhere. Code lives on their servers in a private AWS VPC only while processing a job, then is discarded. - No Rogue Commits — Ellipsis never commits code without explicit permission. Optionally raises side-PRs for generated code so changes are transparent. ## Pricing Plan Price Details Public Repos Free Full feature access for public repositories Developer $20/dev/month Unlimited usage for private repos. All features included. Enterprise Custom Contact for custom pricing, SSO, and dedicated support Ellipsis's pricing is refreshingly simple: one flat rate per developer, unlimited usage. No per-review fees, no credit systems, no surprise overage charges. At $20/dev/month — and free for public repos — it is the most affordable dedicated AI code review tool on the market. ## Comparison Feature Ellipsis Greptile CodeRabbit Code generation @ellipsis-dev comments Fix forwarding only Fix suggestions only Pricing model $20/dev/month, unlimited $30/seat/mo, per-review credits $12/seat/mo, unlimited Self-hosted No Yes (AWS, air-gapped) No Platform GitHub only GitHub + GitLab + MCP GitHub + GitLab ## Who Is Ellipsis For? Ellipsis is ideal for: - GitHub-native teams who want automated code review without complex setup or configuration - Open-source maintainers who need free, reliable AI review for their public repositories - Small to medium teams that want predictable pricing ($20/dev/month, unlimited) without per-review costs or credit tracking - Engineering managers who want automated changelogs and visibility into what their team is shipping It is less suited for teams that need GitLab or Bitbucket support, organizations requiring self-hosted deployment, or developers who want IDE-integrated real-time coding assistance. ## Verdict Ellipsis is the most practical AI code review tool for GitHub-native teams. It does not try to be everything — it reviews code, catches bugs, generates fixes on demand, and stays out of your way. The zero-data-retention policy and SOC 2 certification make it enterprise-safe, while the $20/dev/month flat pricing and free public repo tier make it accessible to everyone. > Bottom line: If your team lives on GitHub and wants an AI reviewer that actually catches bugs, generates code, and respects your security — without complex pricing or configuration — Ellipsis is the best choice. Simple, secure, and it works. Best for GitHub teams wanting automated code review with bug detection, async code generation, and style guide enforcement Capability AI code reviews on every commit catching logical bugs and anti-patterns, @ellipsis-dev code generation from GitHub comments, Style-guide-as-code defined in natural language, SOC 2 certified with zero data retention, Learns from team feedback to customize reviews Runs on GitHub Signature Snippet Copy ``` `A developer pushes a PR with a subtle null-pointer edge case.
