# SourceAnt vs Claude Code Review

Choose Claude Code Review for managed pull request reviews in your Claude organization. Choose SourceAnt when reviews need the same shared decisions your coding agents use, or when you want to choose the model provider and run the reviewer on your own infrastructure.

## Repository instructions or a shared decision record

Claude Code Review reads CLAUDE.md and REVIEW.md to guide its findings. SourceAnt stores decisions and constraints as linked records and serves them to connected tools over MCP. A constraint can remain available after the review ends, with a status the team can change when the decision is superseded.

## Choose who runs the review and which model it uses

Claude runs a managed review service with specialized agents that check findings before posting them. SourceAnt’s open core runs with your own database, model credentials and GitHub App. Self-hosting gives you control over that deployment, but you operate the API and workers yourself.

## Pricing

Claude Code Review requires Team or Enterprise and bills review usage separately. Its published average is $15 to $25 per review, with cost varying by size and complexity. SourceAnt’s paid cloud platform starts at $49 a month plus model usage, with a free cloud plan and a self-hosted open core also available.

## When Claude Code Review is the better fit

For a team that only wants managed review inside Claude, the shared knowledge workflow may be unnecessary. Running SourceAnt’s open core also means operating its database, GitHub App and workers.

Connect a repository and capture a decision your team already made. See how SourceAnt brings that context into your agents’ work and code reviews.
