The author is not the reviewer
A strong harness and a model like Astra, Sol, or Fable can still ship bugs. The session that wrote the PR should not be the one that signs off on it.
Install the GitHub App. Reviews in about 30 seconds. Your software factory keeps moving.

Why Pacecar
You may be using a great harness and a frontier model like Astra, Sol, or Fable. That still is not an independent pass. You also want the same checklist on every PR. And review is now the number one thing slowing the software factory, so it has to be fast.
01
A strong harness and a model like Astra, Sol, or Fable can still ship bugs. The session that wrote the PR should not be the one that signs off on it.
02
Paste-into-chat reviews wander. Pacecar runs the same pass every time: security, intent, scope, logic, reliability, and contracts. Short notes, same structure.
03
Writing got cheap. Now the author, the next task, and the deploy all wait on the PR. Pacecar lands in about 30 seconds so the factory isn't sitting idle.
With Pacecar
Install on the GitHub organization. Every PR, including drafts, gets an independent checklist review in about 30 seconds, so the factory keeps moving when the branch changes.
Seat tools get expensive as more people push code. Asking the coding model to review its own work is not independent. Skipping review does not scale either. Start with $20 free.
How it works
No change to your GitHub workflow. Pacecar attaches to pull requests you already open.
01
One install on the organization. Anyone with org access can use Pacecar — no per-user setup.
02
When a PR opens or updates — including drafts — Pacecar posts a review comment on the thread.
03
On each push, Pacecar posts a fresh review and collapses the previous one so the thread stays clear.
Product
Hang it on the GitHub org and you’re done. No seats. No chasing people to flip a switch. If they can open a PR, it gets reviewed.
A separate pass from the model that wrote the diff. Self-review from the coding session is not a second set of eyes.
Security, intent, scope, logic, reliability, contracts. Short notes your team can scan in the same shape on every PR. Put house rules in REVIEW.md when you need them.
Skip the style lectures and thread spam. Pacecar flags merge risk: bugs, broken contracts, security holes. Fix it yourself or hand it to an agent.
About 30 seconds. Fast enough for drafts while you’re still iterating, not a write-up after you’ve moved on.
We don’t train foundation models on your private repos. We do retain reviews to improve the product. We don’t use providers that train on your data. Full story on Security & privacy.
Software factory
Fast review is how a software factory actually runs.
You are already building one: agents write, PRs open, CI runs. Until a review lands, the author is stuck, the next change is queued, and nothing merges. Pacecar is the independent pass that keeps up. About 30 seconds, then the rest of the line can run.
Seat pricing charges every author. Pacecar prices the review itself.
Pricing
If product, support, or leadership can open a PR, seat tools bill another license. Pacecar bills when a review runs. New orgs start with $20 free.

Seat-based tool
$240/mo
10 × $24 / seat
You pay for each person who can open a PR, even if they ship rarely. High weeks still hit rate limits and file overages.
Pacecar
$90/mo
250 × $0.20 + 500 × $0.08
Cost follows PR volume. Adding authors does not add seats.
About 2.7× less at this volume (~$150 / month).
