Critique vs Qodo (formerly Codium AI).
Qodo (previously Codium AI) started with AI-powered test generation and expanded into PR review. It supports GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, and emphasises integration breadth across IDEs and forges.
Quick answer
Qodo is strong on test generation with a review surface bolted on top. Critique starts from review as the core product — scout + lead + specialist sub-agents — and priced per credit. If tests are your #1 pain point and review is secondary, Qodo fits. If review depth and model choice come first, pick Critique.
