GitHub Copilot code review alternatives

If you are evaluating Copilot code review, it helps to see the wider field.

Copilot code review is GitHub's built-in AI reviewer: it reviews pull requests for bugs, code-quality issues, and security issues, and leaves comments with suggested changes you can apply in a couple of clicks; you can also set it to review new pull requests automatically, per GitHub's docs.

The tools below cover code security and review in different ways: other pull-request reviewers, rule-based scanning, semantic analysis, platform analysis with quality gates, and the supply chain.

Each links to a deeper comparison; Copilot code review's page with Aevral is at [aevral.com/compare/github-copilot](https://aevral.com/compare/github-copilot).

Aevral is listed last on purpose, and it is not a like-for-like alternative.

Not memory corruption, not dependency scanning, not a general SAST, and not a full secret scanner (PR review flags only the keys and tokens a pull request adds, value masked): Aevral adds a wider class list to your pull requests through its PR review (access control, business logic, injection, XSS, SSRF, path traversal, and LLM-integration security) and an access-control and business-logic reading of your repository, alongside whichever tool you choose, live on install on the same pull requests Copilot code review reviews.
