Sourcery

What is Sourcery?

Sourcery is an AI code review tool that reads each pull request or merge request within minutes and posts a summary, review comments and suggested changes you can commit with a click. It looks for logic errors, missed edge cases and security issues, explains each problem and how to fix it, and can auto-approve low-risk changes that have no blocking findings. Teams can add custom review rules, and reviews also run in the IDE. The Team plan adds codebase security scanning for secrets, code vulnerabilities, infrastructure-as-code misconfigurations and vulnerable dependencies, with a single issues dashboard, analytics and Jira ticket creation. Sourcery works with GitHub and GitLab, including self-managed GitLab, and with GitHub Enterprise Server on the Enterprise plan, which also adds self-hosting, SSO and bring-your-own LLM keys. The vendor says it keeps no copy of your code, never trains models on it, and is SOC 2 Type II compliant. Open Source use is free, Pro costs $12 per developer per month billed annually, and Team costs $24.

Use cases

Why use Sourcery

• Every pull request gets a first review within minutes, so human reviewers start from a summary and a list of issues.
• Suggested changes can be committed directly, which shortens the fix cycle.
• Public repositories are reviewed free, so open source projects pay nothing.
• Security scanning in the same tool avoids running a separate scanner for secrets and dependencies.
• Your code is used only for the review, with no retention or model training, and the vendor reports SOC 2 Type II compliance.
