In their own words
Review Board
Review Board is a web-based tool for reviewing code and other project files, including images, documentation, presentations, and marketing materials. Teams can set flexible workflows, control approvals, and keep an audit trail of review decisions. Review Bot automates checks through lint, static-analysis, compliance, and security tools. A Python extension framework, REST APIs, webhooks, and RBTools support workflow and integration customization. Review Board can be self-hosted on compatible Linux systems, macOS, or WSL for Windows, including Docker deployments, and can run on private networks or in air-gapped environments. Its self-hosted servers do not send data to outside services unless administrators configure them to do so. The software supports multiple source-control systems, including Git, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Perforce, and Subversion. It is open source under the MIT license, and the Community plan is free. Basic costs $6 a month, billed month-to-month. Power Pack can be tried free for 60 days for unlimited users; afterward, two users can continue using it free. Review Board states that it does not train on customer data.
