It enforces governance policies automatically and blocks risky PRs. Other tools tell you WHAT broke. CodeRifts tells you HOW MUCH it costs. Supports GitHub App, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket, CLI, REST API, and the MCP protocol — so CI pipelines and AI agents run the same governance checks before a merge or a tool call. Built for teams where one breaking API change costs $10k–$50k in downstream fixes. Zero CI configuration required: install the GitHub App and governance starts on the next PR. Designed for backend and platform teams shipping APIs to mobile apps, third-party integrations, and AI agents.Starting Price: $49/month -
