Is the free tier actually usable?
Yes. The shared pool is the default and works on private repos. There is no feature wall — the free tier is the product.
Code TerrierCode Terrier for Startups and small teams
Built for Startups and small teams
Small teams can't afford a review tool whose price grows with every new hire. Code Terrier is free on a shared model pool, with BYOK as a free option — no per-seat cost, a monthly credit allowance, no trial.
Install on GitHub and it reviews new PRs in auto mode by default. No configuration to get value.
What you get
- Free shared model pool — no key, no credit card, no trial wall.
- No per-seat pricing: the cost doesn't grow with headcount.
- Reviews start automatically on new PRs; change the trigger mode any time.
- A re-check on later pushes in auto mode keeps the review current as you iterate.
Objections, answered
Is there a paid plan?
Upgrade to Pro ($5/month) for a 1,000-credit monthly allowance on the shared pool. BYOK and the free tier stay free.
