Kilo combines configurable PR reviews with local agent review workflows and model choice. Individual platform access is free; hosted reviews incur inference and cloud compute charges. Build and review with the same multi-model development platform.
Use the Kilo agent in a desktop workspace, or keep your existing VS Code, JetBrains, CLI, and Cloud workflows. Desktop runs the Kilo CLI engine and supports 500+ hosted models through Kilo Gateway, your provider keys, and local inference.
Available for macOS Apple Silicon, Windows, and Linux. The built-in local model server, notebooks, and conda environments require a Kilo account. Local inference is not a guarantee of an entirely offline or air-gapped application. See requirements.
Credit purchase processing fee: 5%. Applies to card purchases that add credits, including top-ups and Kilo Pass. Excludes seat subscriptions and non-card payments. See full pricing.
Open-source scope: VS Code, JetBrains, and CLI clients are MIT-licensed; Gateway and Cloud backend code are source-available under a separate license. These licenses do not establish the license of every Desktop component. See component licenses.

Review model availability depends on the workflow. Local reviews can use compatible local inference; hosted PR reviews are a cloud service.
Start free
Start without an individual seat subscription. Inference and hosted review compute are separate costs, including when using BYOK.
Open
Kilo Code clients are open source across VS Code, JetBrains, and CLI, so teams can inspect the local agent surface.
Kilo is not trying to clone every CodeRabbit feature. It optimizes for open tooling, model flexibility, and one AI stack for development work.
Choose a supported model for hosted Code Reviews. For local agent reviews, use supported provider keys or compatible local inference. A review running on your machine still sends context to a hosted provider unless you configure local inference.
Kilo Code is not a black-box editor experience. The VS Code extension, JetBrains plugin, and CLI live in public repositories so teams can inspect, customize, and integrate the tools they run locally.
Code reviews are not a separate silo. Kilo can help write code, run local reviews, review PRs, continue in the CLI or IDE, and carry the same account and credits across the broader platform.
CodeRabbit pricing and plan descriptions were rechecked against its official pricing page. Other integration details retain their June 18, 2026 review scope; confirm availability for your plan before purchase.
Individual platform access is free. Teams costs $15/user/month; Enterprise is custom. Paid inference and cloud compute are separate. Kilo Gateway charges provider rates with no inference markup; a 5% processing fee applies to card purchases of credits, including optional Kilo Pass. Seat subscriptions and non-card payments are excluded from that processing fee. BYOK covers inference through your provider, not Kilo cloud compute.
Seat-based Essentials, Team, Advanced, and Enterprise plans. Billing term, review allowances, and on-demand charges vary; public-repository reviews are free.
Choose a supported review model from Kilo Gateway. The wider platform offers 500+ hosted models, BYOK, and compatible local inference; availability varies by workflow.

Choose CodeRabbit if your priority is a dedicated review product with broad git provider coverage and extensive review automation controls. Choose Kilo if code review should be part of the same open, multi-model system you already use to plan, write, run, and ship code.
Model choice, BYOK/local options, open-source clients, and shared platform credits matter more than a standalone review suite.
