VERDICT

Should I use Greptile?

Depends. Buy if you're a mid-size or large eng team with heavy PR volume — third-party tests rank its bug detection highest. Skip it as a small team: $30/seat plus per-review charges and pricing backlash outweigh the value.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 20+ public sources: G2, Reddit, Hacker News, AWS Marketplace, vendor pricing/security pages, and third-party comparisons. Review base is small (21 G2 ratings).
