Ironwood AI vs Revue

Ironwood AI reviews code using AI providers selected by the team, along with engineering context such as coding standards, architecture documents, requirements, and technical guidance. Engineers can inspect findings and supporting evidence before deciding what to do. Teams can review multiple repositories in a batch, including cross-repository analysis when service boundaries matter. Listed AI providers include OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and Ollama; source-control integrations include GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket. Jira, Azure Boards, and Confluence are listed for delivery workflows. Ironwood runs on infrastructure controlled by the customer, with local Admin, Reviewer, and Viewer roles; customers manage source-control and AI-provider credentials. Hosted AI providers receive review prompts and selected code or context, while Ollama can keep the AI request inside customer infrastructure. Ironwood says it does not need to receive or store source code, prompts, or findings to run a review. Professional includes PDF reports, role-based access control, platform health, and diagnostics. Evaluation is free for 30 days for two developers and one installation. Professional costs $15 a month; Team is $200 a month for up to 20 developers. AI-provider usage is billed separately.

Revue is a multi-agent AI code reviewer for local changes and pull requests. Its Claude Code skill reviews staged changes, while CI mode can review pull requests or merge requests on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket and post findings as inline comments. Six specialist agents cover security, performance, code quality, architecture, synthesis, and verification. Revue says it checks findings against the code and anchors them to relevant lines. Users supply their own AI provider API key; listed providers include OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints. For local reviews, code runs in the user’s environment and source code is not received, stored, or processed by Revue’s servers. The service may log code-change metadata, review counts, timestamps, repository and platform metadata, and diagnostic data. The default diff limit is 2,000 lines and can be raised in.revue.yml. Windows support requires WSL2; there is no native Windows build, and Windows on ARM is unsupported. Free costs nothing, with unlimited reviews for 30 days and 10 per month afterward. Indie is $9 a month; Pro is $29 a month.
