Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

DeepSource

  • Open Source plan caps at 1,000 reviewed pull requests and 1,000 formatting runs per month.
  • AI Review beyond the included credit is billed per 10K lines of code, which can add unpredictable cost.
  • Self-hosted deployment and BYOK AI are Enterprise-only features.
  • Enterprise pricing is not published and requires contacting sales.

Ory

  • Production and Growth plans are billed annually ($770/year and $9,350/year), which is a larger upfront commitment than monthly-only competitors.
  • SAML SSO and multi-region deployments are reserved for the custom-priced Enterprise tier.
  • Usage-based pricing across aDAU, M2M tokens, and permission checks makes cost estimation more complex than flat per-MAU billing.
