GitHub Copilot code review ranks second because it is the cheapest way for a GitHub team to get AI review on pull requests, and it needs no separate app. Pull request reviews on github.com and file diff reviews in editors are included from Copilot Pro at $10 per user per month, alongside unlimited completions, agent mode and cloud agents. GitHub's docs list support on github.com, GitHub CLI, GitHub Mobile, VS Code, Visual Studio, Xcode and JetBrains IDEs, with Azure DevOps in public preview. Admins can turn on automatic review so Copilot reviews every pull request, and an organization policy lets developers without a Copilot license request a review. The trade-off is metering: code review draws on GitHub AI credits, and Pro includes $15 of them a month, so busy reviewers may need Pro+ at $39. It also lacks the cross-host coverage and dedicated triage features of the specialist tools higher on this list.
