What Ellipsis is
Ellipsis is a web-based tool for reviewing code in GitHub repositories. It combines automated analysis with AI review, giving individuals and organizations a way to bring those checks into GitHub workflows. Teams can define custom review rules to shape what the service examines, and review analytics let them examine review activity. The product also supports self-hosting for organizations that want to run it themselves.
Ellipsis is made by Ellipsis, founded in 2023 and headquartered in New York, New York, United States. The pricing model is freemium. The Individuals plan costs nothing and is free with a Claude Code or Codex subscription. The Organizations plan has no listed price: it charges for tokens plus a 10% platform fee, while CPU and memory are billed according to usage. That plan has no per-seat fees or idle charges. GitHub is the listed code host and web is the listed platform. The combination of automated analysis, configurable review rules, AI review, analytics, and self-hosting makes Ellipsis relevant to people and teams organizing code review around GitHub.
