• 01Pricing

  // mesrai

  Flat per developer, unlimited reviews

  Mesrai Pro is ₹499 / $6 per developer per month with no review limit. Your LLM provider bills you for tokens at its own rates — you control cost by choosing the model. 14-day trial, no card.

  // cursor bugbot

  Usage-based

  Bugbot is included from Cursor's Premium plan and billed by usage: individual plans draw on included usage first, team plans bill reviews from on-demand usage. Cursor says the average review costs $1.00–$1.50, depending on pull request size and complexity.

  verdict — At a few reviews a month, Bugbot's usage pricing is cheap. For a team opening many pull requests — and re-reviewing on each push — a flat fee is easier to budget.

• 02How each one reviews

  // mesrai

  Specialised agents with a repository graph

  Agents for bugs, security, performance and your rules review each change, using an AST graph of the whole repository to see impact outside the diff. Findings are ranked by severity, and noise is controlled with severity filters and suggestion limits.

  Frontier and in-house models

  Bugbot focuses on hard logic bugs with a low false-positive rate, using a combination of frontier and Cursor's in-house models. Cursor reports that more than 70% of flags are resolved before merge.

  verdict — Both aim at real bugs over style. Mesrai adds explicit rule and requirement checks.

• 03Rules and context

  // mesrai

  Inherited rules, memories and tickets

  Rules in plain English or YAML at organization, repository and folder level; memories of team knowledge; rule import from .cursorrules and CLAUDE.md; and business logic validation against Jira, Linear or a Google Docs spec.

  // cursor bugbot

  BUGBOT.md files

  Bugbot reads project rules from .cursor/BUGBOT.md at the root and in subdirectories, walking up from each changed file. Each rule file is truncated at 30,000 characters, with 100,000 in total per review.

  verdict — Both support per-folder rules. Mesrai adds organization-wide inheritance and ticket checks.

• 04Fixing what it finds

  // mesrai

  Suggested fixes, humans decide

  Mesrai posts comments with suggested code changes; developers apply them. It doesn't push commits.

  // cursor bugbot

  Autofix

  Bugbot Autofix can start a Cursor cloud agent that commits a fix to the branch or opens a new branch (support varies by Git host), and findings can be opened in the Cursor editor.

  verdict — Want the reviewer to fix code automatically inside the Cursor ecosystem? Bugbot. Prefer comment-only review? Mesrai.
