The Per-Seat Problem

Bugbot charges $40 per user per month — including every contributor who authors a PR that Bugbot reviews, even external ones on open-source projects. For a 10-person team, that's $4,800/year regardless of how many PRs they actually open. Slow sprint? You still pay full price.

GitSniff flips the model: pay only for the PRs you actually review, with transparent per-use pricing. Scale your team freely without worrying about your code review bill scaling with headcount.

No Seat Tax

Cursor Bugbot costs $40/user/month regardless of activity. A 10-person team pays $4,800/year even if half the team rarely opens PRs. GitSniff charges per review — your bill reflects actual value delivered.

Real Security Scanning

Bugbot relies on AI alone for security analysis, leading to hallucinated vulnerabilities. GitSniff runs Bearer, Semgrep, and Trivy in parallel — real scanning tools, not AI guesswork.

GitHub-Native Workflow

Bugbot reviews on GitHub but routes fixes through Cursor's IDE or web agents. GitSniff keeps everything in GitHub — reviews, chat, and auto-fixes all live where your team already works. No context switching.

Model Freedom

Cursor locks you into their internal models. GitSniff lets you choose from Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Llama, and 100+ models via OpenRouter. Use fast models for small PRs, powerful ones for critical reviews.

Transparent Costs

Bugbot charges $40/user/month and bills for every unique PR author — including external contributors on open-source projects. GitSniff shows exactly what each review costs — $0.20 per PR plus transparent token pricing. No per-seat surprises.

LLM Council Mode

For critical PRs, GitSniff runs multiple AI models in parallel and a chairman model synthesizes their opinions. Bugbot averages ~0.7 bugs flagged per review with a single model pass. Council mode means higher confidence and more thorough reviews.

Fewer False Positives

Bugbot is known for flagging hallucinated issues — bugs that don't exist. GitSniff combines real scanning tools with AI analysis and multi-stage quality filtering to minimize noise and surface only actionable findings.
