> the claude code review product originally mentioned it cost "$15-25 per review" (which is absurd)

If an engineer paid $150,000 a year reviews some code manually for about 30 minutes, the cost of their time is about $36.

in a vacuum, sure. the average pull request will have multiple commits once opened (i.e. to address feedback or perhaps it was opened too early), each triggering a review. it's very easy to rack up $100+ per pr (and an eng may open a dozen prs in a single day)
