# How to choose an AI code review tool

There is no single best AI code review tool. Compare inline editors, quality gates, vulnerability scanners, and CodeSync SI's deterministic repair pass.

## Start with the job

There is no single best AI code review tool. The useful question is which job you are hiring the tool to do.

- Inline help while typing: look at GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and similar editors. CodeSync SI is not that product.
- A CI quality gate with a large rule set: look at SonarQube and similar analyzers.
- Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: look at Snyk and similar advisory scanners. CodeSync SI does not ship a CVE database.
- A reviewable pass that removes debugger statements, renames unused bindings, and records the diagnose: that is CodeSync SI.

## If the job is the CodeSync SI pass

Run it free on your machine with Ollama. Pay for hosting only when you want projects stored on Cloudflare, run history, and the plan features. Extreme at $80 per month is the plan with priority queue, missions, GitHub pull requests, the API, and the largest default Workers AI model. Standard at $30 covers the base runs with a three-project cap. Expert at $50 adds the audit, GitHub connect, a weekly watchdog, and three seats.
