|---|---|---|
Context depth How much of your codebase it sees before it answers: the open diff, the diff plus related files, or the whole repository. | ●●●●● Diff/file only | ●●●●● Diff only |
Noise control How it keeps output volume down — severity thresholds, deduplication, incremental runs over new commits only. | ●●●●● Configurable thresholds | ●●●●● Clustering & gating |
Customization How far it bends to your team: custom rules, prompts, style guides, per-path config. | ●●●●● Custom rules & prompts | ●●●●● Custom evaluators & flows |
Privacy Whether your code stays on your own infrastructure: fully local, self-hostable, or cloud API only. | ●●●●● Self-hostable | ●●●●● Self-hostable |
Model freedom Whether you can point it at any provider, or it is wired to one. | ●●●●● Bring-your-key | ●●●●● Multiple providers |
Setup ease What it takes to get a first useful run out of it. | ●●●●● API key + config | ●●●●● One-command demo |
