MergeSafe vs Qodo

Last updated 12 November 2026.

How is MergeSafe different from Qodo?

Qodo reviews your code, with a rules system and context from the whole repository. MergeSafe reviews it too, then decides whether it is safe to merge: a free dependency gate for malicious and known-vulnerable packages, and a check that fails while a blocking finding is open.

Checked November 2026 against Qodo’s own pricing page and docs (links below). Qodo was earlier sold as Qodo Merge, built on its open-source PR-Agent, which it handed to the community in April 2026.

At a glance

	Qodo	MergeSafe
Pricing	Credits at $0.015 each, pooled across the team. Pro Team is $30 for 2,000 credits, about 14 reviews a month; larger reviews use more credits. Enterprise is custom.	A set price per review for each level, from a prepaid balance. See Pricing.
Seats	None: usage-based. Pro Team is designed for up to 30 users.	None.
Free	A 14-day trial. No permanent free tier. Open-source projects with 200+ stars can apply.	$20 to start. The dependency gate is free on every repository.
Platforms	GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps; Gerrit on Enterprise. On-prem and air-gapped options.	GitHub only.
Dependency checks	Not described in its docs.	The dependency gate flags known-vulnerable, malicious and made-up npm and PyPI packages.
Merge check	PR Triage shows states such as “Blocked by checks” and “Ready to merge”. No required check of its own is documented.	The mergesafe-review check fails while a P0 or P1 finding is open.
Production errors	Not described in its docs.	Sentry errors become GitHub issues; tested fixes are optional.
Coding agents	Agentic Toolbox over CLI, MCP and plugins. Its IDE plugin was retired on October 30, 2026.	Findings over MCP and the API.

Where Qodo is strong

Rules. No limit on rules, and Rule Miner learns new ones from your pull request history and can import AGENTS.md files.
Cross-repository review. It looks for changes that break code in your other repositories.
Deployment. Single-tenant, on-prem and air-gapped options, Gerrit support, and your own model keys on Enterprise.
Data. It states SOC 2 Type II certification and zero data retention. MergeSafe is SOC 2 ready; an audit has not yet started.
Open source roots. PR-Agent is now community-run under Apache 2.0.

Where MergeSafe is different

A gate, not just a queue. The merge-readiness score and the mergesafe-review check say whether to merge. Make the check required and a blocking finding stops the merge.
Supply chain on every pull request. The dependency gate runs with or without a review, even with no balance.
A known price per review. Each level has a set price per review up to 2,000 hand-written lines; between 2,000 and 5,000 hand-written lines MergeSafe asks first and charges 1.5 times. Small follow-ups on Essential and Strong are half price.
After the merge. The advisory check tells you when a new advisory affects your code, and Sentry errors can become issues and fixes.

Which should I pick?

Pick Qodo if you need GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps or Gerrit, on-prem or air-gapped deployment, or a large rules program across many repositories. Pick MergeSafe if you are a builder or small team on GitHub and want one gate before merge, paid per review.
