HeyDeer on the cheapest plan for the credits, at our calculator’s Standard estimate for a PR with up to 200 changed lines and a few repository checks. Claude figures use the research-preview average published on March 9, 2026, multiplied by one review per PR, excluding Team or Enterprise plan fees. They are historical illustrations, not current GA quotes. GA costs may differ and depend on token usage, review level, and code complexity.

Why multiple models matter
Different models can notice different problems in the same change. HeyDeer supports models from OpenAI and Anthropic across its review and verification roles, so one model’s first impression need not be the final judgment.
Model diversity can help uncover blind spots, but does not guarantee better results. Findings still need to be checked against the code, and your team decides what to merge. Compare useful findings and false positives on your own PRs.
Claude Code Review also uses multiple agents and verifies findings. Multiple agents do not necessarily mean multiple model families. This comparison concerns its hosted GitHub service, not the local /code-review command or a custom skill.
Frontier review quality
HeyDeer reviews with frontier models. Each change is examined from independent perspectives, and every finding is checked against your code before it’s posted.
