// switching from Copilot PR review?

Copilot reviews everything.
PullLight reviews what matters.

Copilot posts AI findings automatically to every PR — before any human decides if they're worth your team's time. PullLight puts a human approval gate between Claude's output and your PR. Nothing posts without approval. Keep Copilot for autocomplete, drop it for PR review.

Copilot — auto-posted (23 comments)

Consider using `const` instead of `let`.

You could add a comment here to improve readability.

This variable name could be more descriptive.

Consider extracting this logic into a separate function.

Missing JSDoc comment for this exported function.

This could be simplified using optional chaining.

+ 17 more comments — all auto-posted, no human filter

PullLight — queued for approval (2 findings)

🔴 High: SQL injection — user input concatenated directly into query string. Fix: use parameterized query.

🟡 Medium: Race condition — concurrent requests can read stale cache after `cache.delete()` on line 47.

Human approved both → posted to GitHub. Zero nitpicks.

// 6-step migration

Switch in 10 minutes.

Your existing Copilot PR comments stay in GitHub forever. You're just changing what generates new ones. Keep Copilot for autocomplete — only disable its PR review.

✓

Step 1

Disable Copilot PR review at org level

GitHub Enterprise: Settings → Copilot → PR review → Off. Or per-repo via .github/copilot.yml. If you're on Business/Enterprise, uncheck "Code review" under Copilot settings. Takes 1 minute.

Step 2

Install PullLight

Click Install, pick your repo(s), and authorize. PullLight becomes active immediately — the next PR that opens triggers an AI review queued for human approval.

Install PullLight →

✓

Step 3

Import .pulllight.yml (optional)

Create a .pulllight.yml in your repo root to tune what PullLight finds — ignore_paths, severity floor, custom rules. This is optional; PullLight works fine with defaults.

✓

Step 4

Run backfill on last PRs

PullLight can scan your last 10 closed PRs and surface any bugs that were merged. See what Copilot missed (or flagged but your team scrolled past).

Run backfill →

✓

Step 5

Compare before/after

Open a new PR and notice the difference: PullLight queues 2-3 real findings per PR, not 20+ nitpicks. Share the contrast in Slack or your team's channel.

✓

Step 6

Post to Slack or Linear

Share the switch with your team. Point them to this page so they understand why: Copilot for autocomplete, PullLight for PR review. Ship better code, fewer comments.

// billing math

You're already paying for Copilot.

Keep Copilot for autocomplete and IDE chat. Just turn off PR review. PullLight is $20/mo flat — whole team, no per-seat pricing.

Note: You're already paying for Copilot for autocomplete — keep that. Just disable the PR review part in GitHub settings and install PullLight instead.

Bottom line: PullLight costs $170–$370 less per month than keeping Copilot's bundled PR review. Copilot's PR review feature alone doesn't justify the price difference.

// honest takes

Copilot does 3 things well.
PR review isn't one of them.

✓ Copilot is great for

Autocomplete — tab-complete whole functions, context-aware, fast. Keep it.
IDE chat — ask "how do I parse a date in JS?" and get a useful answer. Keep it.
Enterprise SSO — GitHub Enterprise integration for seat management and org policies. Keep it.

✗ Copilot PR review doesn't

Gate itself — every finding auto-posts, no human approval, no review queue
Find context bugs — generic pattern matching catches style, not business logic errors
Signal from noise — 20 nitpicks drown the 1 real bug; your team learns to ignore everything

// questions you'll actually have

FAQ.

Yes — this is the intended setup. Copilot's autocomplete and chat are genuinely good. PullLight only replaces the PR review feature, which is a different product bolted onto the same subscription. Disable PR review in GitHub Copilot settings, keep everything else.
No. PullLight analyzes the PR diff directly — it never reads Copilot's output. Copilot's comments stay in GitHub (they're just GitHub comments) and PullLight doesn't touch them.
Run both. Copilot posts its comments automatically; PullLight queues its findings for approval. Two tools, two review queues — but PullLight's findings are the ones that go through human review before posting. You can also configure PullLight's review focus to only surface Security and Bugs to avoid overlap with Copilot's style comments.
No. Copilot comments are ordinary GitHub PR comments — they stay in your PR history forever regardless of whether Copilot is installed. Disabling PR review in Copilot settings removes the app's ability to post new comments, but existing comments are untouched.
Depends on whether your team reads Copilot's comments. If PR review comments get ignored because there's too much noise, you get no value from it — and you keep paying for a feature you're not using. PullLight at $20/mo flat replaces that with a human-gated queue your team will actually use. Use the analyzer above to see how much noise your Copilot reviews generate.
PullLight catches different things — and catches them better. Copilot uses generic pattern matching and flags style issues by default. PullLight uses Claude with diff context to find actual bugs, logic errors, and security issues. You'll see fewer comments overall, but more signal. Enable Style in Review Focus settings if you want Copilot-style nitpick comments too.
