Interesting: "Reviews are billed on token usage and generally average $15–25, scaling with PR size and complexity."
This cost seems wild. For comparison GitHub Copilot Code Review is four cents per review once you're outside of the credits included with your subscription.
Average _per review_? Insane costs, that's potentially thousands per developer. Am I missing something?
At those prices I wonder if it also reviews the design for ineffectiveness in performance or decomposition into maintainable units besides catching the bugs.
Also the examples are weird IMO. Unless it was an edge/corner case the authentication bug would be caught in even a smoke test. And for the ZFS encryption refactor I'd expect a static-typed language to catch type errors unless they're casting from `void*` or something. Seems like they picked examples by how important/newsworthy the areas were than the technicality of the finds.
Wait, what? So if I'm a paying Max user, i'd still have to pay more? Don't see the value. Would rather have a repo skill to do the code review with existing Claude Max tokens.
Senior+ engineers easily make $100+ an hour. This is equivalent to 15 minutes of their time max.
I run a PR review via Claude on my own code before I push. It’s exceptionally good. $20 becomes an incredibly easy sell when I can review a PR in 10 minutes instead of an hour.
