Ironwood AI vs Sourcery

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.

Sourcery reviews pull requests with AI, returning a summary, review comments and suggested fixes within minutes. Users can apply a suggestion as a change and commit it to the pull request. Security checks cover committed secrets, static-analysis vulnerabilities, infrastructure-as-code misconfigurations, dependencies and licenses. The extension works in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf and JetBrains editors, and Sourcery supports GitHub, GitLab, GitHub Enterprise Server and self-hosted GitLab. Open Source checks security on every pull request; Open Source and Pro also scan twice a week, while Team includes nightly scans. The public REST API, for listing, reading, counting and bulk-updating security findings and groups, is a Team feature. Open Source is free; Pro is $12 a month billed annually, or $15 per developer per month billed monthly. Team is $24 a month billed annually, or $30 per developer per month billed monthly. A 14-day Team-feature trial is available organization-wide after installation, without a credit card. Sourcery says it does not retain customer code after reviews or use it to train models.
