ReviewRouter adds a hosted control plane on top of your own CI environment. Code stays in your infrastructure. You own your keys. Every model, every provider — on your terms.
Every AI code review tool sends your source code to their cloud. Some disclose it. Some don't. Most give you an "enterprise self-hosted" option that takes weeks to configure and costs more than your salary.
ReviewRouter keeps orchestration, policy, health, and audit in a hosted service — so you get one-command setup and real-time dashboards. Review execution runs in your own environment, on your own infrastructure, using your own API keys. The split is intentional. The code boundary is real.
Three steps. No cloud code path. No vendor lock-in.
Choose one repo, selected repos, or your whole organization. ReviewRouter syncs metadata — file names, diff sizes, line counts. No source code ever leaves GitHub's API boundary during installation.
A compact reusable workflow is added through a pull request. Your repository owns it. You control what runs, when it runs, and what secrets are accessible. No opaque background jobs.
Run one local command to seed Codex OAuth, Claude Code OAuth, or any API key directly into GitHub Actions secrets. Credentials go from your terminal to GitHub Actions — ReviewRouter never stores them.
Compare concrete reviewers first. Then compare the cloud boundary.

ReviewRouter gives you a hosted control plane without taking ownership of review execution. You get the best of both: easy setup and zero code leakage.
