# Orvex full briefing

> Orvex is a GitHub App that reviews pull requests when they open. Deterministic checks run first, then two or four AI passes by track, then a verifier re-checks each finding against source before posting. Free: 10 lifetime reviews, no card. Paid plans are per workspace, $29–$99/month, not per seat.

## What it does

- Reviews enabled GitHub repositories automatically on pull-request open and new pushes by default; each trigger can be changed per repository. `@orvex review` starts an on-demand review.
- Runs deterministic rules first, then two or four focused AI review passes depending on the review track, then a strict verifier that re-checks candidate findings against source context before posting.
- Reads the changed files plus selected imports, dependents, and relevant repository files. It reports when GitHub or configured file limits make coverage partial.
- Tracks findings across pushes, suppresses already-reported issues, and marks findings fixed when their source anchor changes.
- One-command auto-fix (`@orvex fix` / `@orvex fix all`) that re-verifies each finding before writing a fix.
- Gives a copy-paste prompt per finding for use with a coding agent.
- Paid plans can request additional analysis with `@orvex deep`; a deep review uses two review units.
- Comment `@orvex help` on any PR for the full command list, or `@orvex rate limit` to check remaining quota without starting a review.
- Repositories can tune ignores, comment limits, and deterministic checks with `.orvex-review.yml`. Finding confidence is recorded as telemetry, not a suppression threshold.

## Pricing (USD)

- Free: 10 lifetime reviews at up to 2/hour, no card required.
- Starter: $29/month — 100 reviews included at up to 5/hour, then prepaid overage at $0.50/review.
- Pro: $69/month — 500 reviews/month at up to 10/hour.
- Verify Lite: $49/month — 50 reviews included at up to 5/hour, then prepaid overage at $0.75/review on the advanced review track.
- Verify: $99/month — 120 reviews included at up to 10/hour, then prepaid overage at $1.50/review on the advanced review track.

A completed standard review uses one unit. An `@orvex deep` review uses two.
Skipped reviews and fix or explanation commands do not consume units. Failed reviews still count toward free-trial, hourly, and monthly caps.
Overage past the included monthly total requires prepaid wallet credits bought in the dashboard — reviews stop if the wallet is empty.
Every plan receives deterministic checks, source verification, and autofix. Paid plans add on-demand deep review. Plans otherwise differ by review track, pass count, allowance, hourly capacity, queue priority, and support.

## Billing

- Pricing is per workspace, not per developer seat.

## FAQ

**What is Orvex?**
Orvex is an AI code reviewer for GitHub. Deterministic checks run first, two or four focused AI review passes (by review track) examine the change and relevant repository context, and candidate findings are merged, deduplicated, and strictly verified before posting.

**How do I install Orvex on GitHub?**
Create a free Orvex account, install the Orvex Review GitHub App, select repositories, then open a pull request. No GitHub password is pasted into Orvex.

**How much does Orvex cost?**
Free includes 10 lifetime reviews at up to 2 per hour. Starter is $29/month for 100 included reviews at up to 5 per hour, then prepaid overage. Pro is $69/month for 500 reviews at up to 10 per hour. Verify Lite is $49/month for 50 included at up to 5 per hour, then prepaid overage. Verify is $99/month for 120 included at up to 10 per hour, then prepaid overage. Every plan also has a hard monthly ceiling.

**What counts as a review?**
A completed standard pull-request review uses one review unit. An on-demand deep review uses two units. Skipped reviews and fix or explanation commands do not consume review units. Failed reviews still count toward free-trial, hourly, and monthly caps.

**Do lower-priced plans get a weaker review pipeline?**
No. Every plan receives the full pipeline for its review track: deterministic checks, two or four focused review passes, strict finding verification, and autofix. Paid plans also include on-demand deep review. Plans otherwise differ by review track, usage allowance, hourly rate limit, queue priority, and support.

**Is Orvex a CodeRabbit alternative?**
Orvex is a GitHub App pull-request reviewer with a verifier step and per-workspace billing. It does not claim feature parity with CodeRabbit. Details: https://useorvex.com/compare.md

**Is pricing per seat?**
No. Plans are priced per workspace rather than per developer seat. Only a workspace owner can start or change billing.

**What languages can Orvex review?**
Orvex can review text-based GitHub pull-request diffs across common programming languages. Language-specific deterministic checks run where applicable, and supported text diffs receive the focused AI review pipeline.
