commit 7c1e40b-OWS-22 Sep 2026
Seven rates re-verified: six moved, one product retired
Re-read every rate card. DeepSource went from $12/contributor to $24 per user/month billed yearly, plus a per-line AI Review meter, and is now a Harness company. Qlty replaced the $10 Team seat with Pro at $20/contributor/mo annual. Graphite Reviewer moved host to graphite.com and the Team seat to $40/user/mo. Bito's $15 turned out to be its monthly rate, not annual: Team is $12 annual. Git AutoReview dropped per-repo billing for $12.49/mo per team. Augment Code dropped the $50 seat for $20/month flat for the whole team. Cursor BugBot lost its seat price entirely.

Anthropic launches Claude Code Review on the Team plan
Rides on a Claude plan seat: Team standard $20/mo annual, premium $100/mo for 5x usage. GitHub-only at launch. On Enterprise the plan adds usage at API rates, so $/PR scales with PR size: a 250-LOC PR costs about $0.025 in tokens.
