Which platforms does each tool support?

Greptile supports web and integrates with GitHub and GitLab. Ellipsis supports web and works only with GitHub — GitLab, Bitbucket, and other Git platforms are not on file for it.

Do either of them offer an IDE plugin or CLI?

No. Greptile runs on the web only with no IDE plugin or CLI. Ellipsis runs in the GitHub web interface with no IDE extension or CLI.

How is Ellipsis priced in plain terms?

Ellipsis is freemium. The managed SaaS plan is usage-based with tokens at cost, a 40% platform fee, $0.142 per vCPU-hour, and $0.024 per GB-hour. A 'Your AWS Account' plan bills usage the same way with AWS handling CPU and memory. Support is an add-on at $5,000, $7,500, or $15,000 per month.

Ellipsis vs Greptile: How They Actually Differ

Ellipsis fits GitHub-only teams that want the agent to also commit fixes and write PR descriptions. Cheapest paid entry on Greptile is Pro at $30 per seat per month; Ellipsis is freemium with usage-based billing.

The short answer

Pick Greptile if: Your team uses GitHub or GitLab and wants the reviewer to read the whole repository, reason about cross-file relationships and project conventions, and post comments on the PR.
Pick Ellipsis if: Your team works in GitHub only and wants the agent to comment on style, bugs, and architecture, plus generate and commit code fixes to the PR and write PR descriptions from diffs.
Cheapest way in: Greptile's cheapest verified paid tier is Pro at $30 per seat per month; the plans list also includes a 'Starter Free' entry, though the limits note states no free tier is offered. Ellipsis is freemium with a free tier subject to usage limits.
What we could not compare: Specific free-tier usage caps for Ellipsis, Greptile's Starter Free tier (the plans list and the limits note disagree on file), LLM models used, review latency, seats included per plan, and quality benchmarks — none are on the sheet.

Greptile and Ellipsis are both AI pull-request reviewers in the AI Coding Agents category. Greptile's stated edge is reading the whole repository, not only the diff, and posting review comments in your Git host — GitHub or GitLab. Ellipsis is built as a GitHub App that reviews pull requests automatically, covers code style, bugs, and architecture, and can also generate and commit code fixes directly to the PR and produce PR descriptions from code diffs.

Pricing and platform reach separate them. Greptile is paid; verified plans list 'Starter Free' alongside Pro at $30 per seat per month and Enterprise custom pricing, and the limits note states no free tier is offered and access requires a paid plan. Ellipsis is freemium, with usage-based billing on tokens at cost with a 40% platform fee plus vCPU-hour and GB-hour rates, and three support tiers at $5,000, $7,500, and $15,000 per month. Both run only on the web — no IDE plugin and no CLI for either.

Which one should you pick?

Solo founder on GitHub who wants PR review with no upfront cost

Ellipsis

Freemium pricing with a free tier on file; runs as a GitHub App so setup matches a one-person workflow already living in GitHub.

Small team on GitLab that wants reviews to consider the broader codebase

Greptile

Listed integrations include GitLab, and the stated approach is whole-repo context rather than diff-only review.

Team that wants the reviewer to push code fixes onto a PR, not just leave comments

Ellipsis

Sheet explicitly says Ellipsis can generate and commit code fixes to a pull request in response to review feedback; that capability is not on file for Greptile.

Small team that prefers a predictable per-seat line item

Greptile

Verified Pro pricing is $30 per seat per month, versus Ellipsis's usage-based billing on tokens, vCPU-hours, and GB-hours.

Ellipsis is an AI code-review agent that reviews every pull request inside GitHub. It runs as a GitHub App that reviews pull requests automatically.
Its reviews cover code style, potential bugs, and architectural concerns, and it can go further than commenting: it can generate and commit code fixes directly to a pull request in response to feedback, and produce pull request descriptions from code diffs.
It fits teams that work in GitHub and want automated PR review and fixes. Caveats: it supports only GitHub, with no integration for GitLab, Bitbucket, or other Git platforms; there is no IDE extension or CLI, so interaction is limited to the GitHub web interface; and the free tier imposes usage limits.
Among code-review tools, it is a GitHub-native agent that both comments and commits fixes rather than a standalone editor or CLI reviewer.

## Greptile (/tools/greptile)
Tagline: AI-powered code review that comments on PRs by understanding the entire codebase, not just the diff.
Category: AI Coding Agents
Pricing model: paid
Starts at: Pro — $30 /seat/month
Platforms: web
Public repo: none listed
Docs: none listed
Verified plans (read 2026-08-21): Starter Free | Pro $30 /seat/month | Enterprise Custom pricing
Strengths on file: Analyzes the entire repository context rather than only the changed lines in a pull request.; Posts review comments directly on pull requests in the connected Git host.; Integrates with GitHub (and GitLab) repositories to ingest and review code.; Uses large language models to reason about cross-file relationships and project conventions during review.
Limits on file: No free tier is offered; access requires a paid plan.; Review functionality is only available through the web platform, with no IDE plugin or CLI client.; Code must be hosted on a supported Git provider, creating dependency on that integration.
Greptile is an AI code reviewer that comments on pull requests by reading the whole codebase, not just the diff.
Its edge is whole-repo context: it analyzes the entire repository rather than only the changed lines, reasoning about cross-file relationships and project conventions, and posts its comments straight onto PRs in your Git host (GitHub and GitLab).
It's for teams that want reviews aware of the broader codebase, not line-by-line diff checks. Caveats: there's no free tier — it's paid only — review runs only through the web platform with no IDE plugin or CLI, and your code has to live on a supported Git provider.
It's a PR-review tool like CodeRabbit, distinct from the in-editor assistants.
