Qodo is a proprietary service that sends your code to its platform and is priced per user. Open-source reviewers let you bring your own model and keep code in your pipeline, but you manage keys and costs.
Continue is an open-source coding agent that runs source-controlled AI checks on pull requests. Checks are written in Markdown and stored alongside your code, appear as native GitHub status checks, and surface suggested fixes when code does not meet the standards you defined, enforcing only what you explicitly configure rather than generic review opinions.
Pricing: Free and open source; model provider costs may apply.
