Rocky Reviews compared
A CodeRabbit alternative with human approval at the center.
CodeRabbit offers AI powered code review. Rocky takes a human led approach: it organizes pull request context and drafts findings, while your reviewers decide which feedback to keep.
The short answer
Rocky keeps the final review decision with your team.
Rocky is open source under AGPL and can be run on infrastructure you manage. Every finding is intended to remain a draft until a human accepts, edits, or dismisses it.
