Quoted $1M for AI code review. Built it for free.August 9, 2026 · 5 min readI wanted an AI reviewer on our PRs at Postman. Catch the dumb stuff. Let humans do architecture. Got quotes. ~$1,000,000 a year. Why? We need Soc2 or SSO support 🤷. For software that takes a diff, puts it in a prompt, and posts a comment. I built Nitpicker instead. Last month's bill: $300. Open source. Does it even work? Yes. Not how the sales deck says. It won't replace your staff engineer. It replaces the forty minutes before they open the tab. Your branch rots while someone's in a meeting three timezones away. The bot comments in ~30 seconds. You fix it while the code is still loaded in your head. It's also better than you at dull failure modes. Swallowed exceptions. Off-by-ones in a 400-line diff.
