Sourcery is the budget pick for teams that want a dedicated reviewer without per-credit maths. Pro costs $12 per developer per month billed annually or $15 monthly and adds private repositories and Jira to the free open source tier. Each pull request gets inline comments, a summary with diagrams and a status check, and teams can write review rules and let Sourcery auto-approve low-risk PRs. The Team plan at $24 adds codebase security, with nightly scans of 50 repositories covering secrets, SAST, infrastructure as code, dependencies and licenses. Its docs list GitHub, GitLab, GitHub Enterprise Server and self-hosted GitLab, and its pricing page puts GitHub Enterprise Server on the Enterprise plan while self-managed GitLab works on every plan. Sourcery says it does not keep a copy of reviewed code and holds SOC 2 Type II. The feature set is narrower than the leaders, with no cross-repo context or agent handoff described, which is why it ranks mid-table.
