Billing is based on token usage rather than per-developer seats, with a 0% markup over provider list prices. High-severity findings fail GitHub checks and block merges until fixed. Review models are selectable from 200+ options, and the rules are open source.","whyItMatters":"The launch shifts code review pricing from seat-based fees to token consumption and pairs it with enforced merge gates, a direct answer to cost growth and model lock-in in commercial review tools.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eOrcaCode Review runs as a two-stage recipe inside OrcaRouter. An inexpensive model screens every push in seconds, and passes without issues go to a higher-accuracy model for detailed review. The default recipe can be used as-is, or replaced with any of the 200+ models OrcaRouter handles, including different models for screening and final review.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigh-severity findings (P0/P1) fail GitHub checks and block merges until fixed or explicitly approved, with findings shown as inline comments on the relevant lines. FlashLabs estimates about $53.9 per month for a five-person team handling 40 PRs monthly, based on GPT-5.5 list pricing and roughly 25,000 input and 4,000 output tokens per pass.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRules and merge gates are published as MIT-licensed open source, with engine, prompts, and billing disclosed. A GitHub App installs in one click without repository secrets or workflow files, and a single workflow file supports in-house CI.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"OrcaCode Review's token billing with 0% markup shifts cost from headcount to usage, letting teams pay for review volume instead of seats. Merge blocking on high-severity findings makes the review a gate, not a suggestion.","twitterPost":"OrcaCode Review bills by token with 0% markup, and high-severity findings block merges. The review becomes a gate, not a suggestion.","threadsPost":"OrcaCode Review's token billing with 0% markup decouples cost from team size, so review spend scales with actual usage. Merge blocking on high-severity findings turns the AI review into a hard gate, not a suggestion. That combination is what separates it from seat-based tools.","newsletterBlurb":"FlashLabs launched OrcaCode Review, an AI code review feature in OrcaRouter that bills by token usage instead of per-developer seats.
