MergeSafe vs Baz
Last updated .
How is MergeSafe different from Baz?
Baz reviews your code and gives each pull request a merge, reject or escalate verdict as a label. MergeSafe reviews it too and makes its decision a check you can require, adds a free dependency gate for malicious and known-vulnerable packages, and charges per review instead of per developer.
Checked November 2026 against Baz’s own pricing page and docs at baz.ai (links below). Baz changed its pricing on November 3, 2026.
At a glance
| Baz | MergeSafe | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Pro: $30 per active developer a month, with 50 reviews per developer, then $1 per review. Fixer, security and SRE agents are billed by usage. Enterprise on request. | Per review, from a prepaid balance. No seats. See Pricing. |
| Free | A 14-day trial. No free tier listed. | $20 to start. The dependency gate is free on every repository. |
| Platforms | GitHub, GitLab and Azure DevOps. Private Mode in your cloud, self-hosting on Enterprise. | GitHub only. |
| Dependency checks | Not described in its docs. | The dependency gate flags known-vulnerable, malicious and made-up npm and PyPI packages. |
| Merge decision | Merger labels each pull request merge, reject or escalate, and can approve it. A person or your auto-merge does the merge. | A merge-readiness score, and the mergesafe-review check fails while a P0 or P1 finding is open. |
| Production errors | AI SRE picks up errors from Datadog, Sentry and Coralogix and opens a tested fix or escalates. | Sentry errors become GitHub issues; tested fixes are optional. |
| Security | Security agents with OWASP mappings, a fixer, and full-repository scans. | A security review on every level, and Expert security as an add-on. |
| CLI and agents | A CLI, plugins for coding agents, MCP and a REST API. | Findings over MCP and the API. |
Where Baz is strong
- The whole path. It reviews implementation plans before code is written, then the pull request, security and the merge decision.
- Production errors from more sources. Datadog and Coralogix as well as Sentry.
- Your own rules. It turns AGENTS.md files, Cursor rules and skills into review standards.
- Deployment. Private Mode runs in your own cloud on Pro, and Enterprise can self-host.
Where MergeSafe is different
- A decision GitHub enforces. Make the mergesafe-review check required and a blocking finding stops the merge, not just a label.
- Supply chain on every pull request. The dependency gate checks each new or changed package for known vulnerabilities, malware, lookalike names and names the registry has never seen, with or without a review, free.
- Per review, not per seat. A team pays for the reviews it runs, and adding a teammate costs nothing.
- After the merge. The advisory check tells you when a new advisory affects your code.
Which should I pick?
Pick Baz if you want plan review, security agents and production fixes from several monitoring tools in one platform, or you need GitLab or Azure DevOps. Pick MergeSafe if you are a builder or small team on GitHub and want one gate before merge, paid per review.
