Graphite review

Graphite earns its place for teams that want to change how they review, not just add a bot. Its core is stacked pull requests: a CLI, VS Code extension and MCP that let developers split work into small dependent PRs, plus an inbox and a merge queue to land them. AI reviews sit on top, with line comments that can be committed in one click, filters for comments you do not want, and custom rules written in plain language or picked from templates such as OWASP and the Google style guides. Graphite says its comments are downvoted less than 5% of the time. The pricing ladder is clear but the AI cap matters: Hobby is free and Starter costs $20 per user per month billed annually, both with limited AI reviews, while unlimited reviews, automations and the merge queue need Team at $40. It is a GitHub product, so GitLab shops should look elsewhere.
