A broad, open-source review platform for teams working across varied repository systems.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Review Board is a web-based platform for software teams and other organizations that need structured review across code, images, Markdown, and documents. It provides a diff viewer, review workflows, approval policies, user roles, issue and defect tracking, auto-assigned reviewers, and repository access controls. Teams can install it on their own server or use managed hosting, with web, self-hosted, and API access. Its support for multiple version-control systems makes it a fit for organizations working across mixed repository environments.
Pricing follows a freemium model. The Community plan is free and includes code, image, and Markdown review, automated code review, the REST API, LDAP, Active Directory, and SAML SSO, plus support for multiple repositories. Basic costs $6 per user per month, billed monthly, and adds unlimited linked repositories and 2 integrations. Business costs $12 per user per month and adds 50 integrations, document review, code review reports, and additional enterprise repository support. Plus costs $15 per user per month and adds basic dedicated support, document review, reports, and additional repository support. Enterprise costs $18 per user per month and adds 24/7 premium support, priority bug fixes and features, urgent-fix backports, and deployment analysis and assistance.
The platform’s breadth is its defining strength. Integrations include Git, Jujutsu, Perforce, Subversion, Mercurial, CVS, GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, Bitbucket Cloud, Bitbucket Data Center, Azure DevOps, AWS CodeCommit, Gerrit, and Jenkins. Review Board also offers automated code review through Review Bot and integrations, custom review rules, review analytics, a REST API, and an extension framework. Security-oriented controls include LDAP, Active Directory, SAML SSO, and repository access controls. AI Review is listed as coming soon, so teams seeking an AI-first review experience should consider alternatives. Review Board suits traditional review teams that value SCM flexibility and self-hosting; teams needing advanced AI review should look elsewhere.
