Install the Hound GitHub App on the repos you want reviewed. Hound gets authorized access to diffs and nothing else.
Every time a PR opens, Hound reads the full diff and the surrounding codebase context — cases humans miss because they only skim.
A structured review comment lands on the PR — bugs, security gaps, test holes — each with a fix, not just a label.
"Every team has a senior engineer bottleneck. The best engineers spend hours on PR reviews instead of building. Hound fixes that."
N+1 queries, race conditions, unvalidated edge cases — the bugs that live in the seams between files. Hound reads the whole codebase, not just the diff.
Hound watches every repo, 24/7. When a PR opens, it reviews it immediately — before the team even looks. Early feedback prevents late surprises.
No two teams write the same. Hound builds a model of your conventions, naming patterns, and risk areas. The longer it runs, the sharper the feedback.
Hound indexes your entire codebase. It can tell you whether a function is called elsewhere, whether a change breaks an internal API, and whether the tests actually cover the new behavior.
Hound receives the webhook the moment a PR is opened or updated. No manual trigger needed. No GitHub Actions config required.
It reads the full diff, traces dependencies across the codebase, and cross-references with your team's review history. It knows what "good" looks like here.
Hound posts a structured review comment directly on the PR — flagging bugs, style issues, security concerns, and test gaps. Every finding is explained, not just labeled.
Hound tracks whether its feedback is accepted, dismissed, or causes a discussion. That signal feeds back into the model. Each review makes the next smarter.
First-pass review, before any human reviewer opens the tab.
Five engineers shipping daily, but PRs sit for hours waiting for whoever isn't in standup.
A first-pass review lands in seconds so your seniors review diffs instead of doing triage.
Every platform PR needs a safety review before it touches master, and the queue is the bottleneck.
Reads the diff against your team's standards and flags risky paths before any human reviewer opens the tab.
Contributors ship PRs at 2am; you review them at 9am and the queue is overwhelming.
Triages every PR up front so the first thing you see is already the parts that need a human.

Why not the free alternatives?
CodeRabbit and Greptile are usage-capped or per-seat + per-review. At 10 engineers, costs balloon quickly. Hound doesn't.
Common questions
What does "learns your team's style" mean?
Hound reads your existing PR history and codebase conventions during setup. It then applies your naming patterns, architectural preferences, and review style — not generic advice.
Do I need a team minimum?
No. Single seats are fine. Pricing scales with your actual team size.
How does it integrate with GitHub?
Install the Hound GitHub App on your organization or personal account. Authorize the repos you want reviewed. That's it — no webhook configuration required.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly billing, cancel whenever. Your data stays accessible for 30 days after cancellation.
Code review is not a human's best use of time.
Let Hound handle the first pass. Your senior engineers focus on what only humans can do.
Hound. The reviewer that was always supposed to exist.
