- Access to CodeRabbit dashboard at app.coderabbit.ai
Pricing Model

Seat = any developer who opens a PR in a CodeRabbit-enabled repo.
Instructions
Step 1: Audit Seat Utilization
Navigate to CodeRabbit Dashboard > Organization > Seats:
seat_audit:
active_committers_30d: 15
bot_accounts: 3
inactive_30d: 7
total_seats_billed: 25
Step 2: Set Seat Policy to Active Committers Only

- Exclude bot accounts explicitly:
dependabot[bot], renovate[bot], github-actions[bot]
Step 3: Focus Reviews on High-Value Repos
Only enable CodeRabbit on repos where AI review adds value:
