"Claude's Code Review is designed to catch more complex issues and suggest fixes for bugs. Since the feature "optimizes for depth," Anthropic said it "is more expensive than lighter-weight solutions like the Claude Code GitHub Action." Reviews are billed on token usage and generally average $15-25, scaling with PR size and complexity."
"An Anthropic engineer who works on Claude Code, Thariq Shihipar, said that the feature "uses a lot more compute and tends to catch more difficult bugs."
