Critique vs Greptile.
Greptile focuses on deep codebase understanding — it indexes every repo and uses that context for PR reviews. It is priced per seat, with enterprise tiers for larger orgs, and is known for catching cross-file issues that token-limited tools miss.
Quick answer
Greptile and Critique both invest heavily in full-repo context via hybrid retrieval. The difference: Greptile is a single-model review surface with per-seat pricing; Critique runs a lead plus specialist sub-agents through a swappable model catalog, priced as a team-shared credit pool starting at $12/mo.

Why teams pick Critique
- Credits beat seats once your team is more than ~3 people.
- Multi-model routing catches a wider set of bug classes than any single model alone.
- You want a free chat lane in the same product, not a separate tool.
- You want explicit specialist sub-agents (security, tests, architecture) rather than a single pass.
When Greptile is the right pick
- Your team is standardising on a single-vendor AI review surface and wants fewer choices.
- You have enterprise procurement already approved for Greptile specifically.
