When to pick CodeMouse over Copilot for code review

• You already have Copilot for IDE help. CodeMouse layers a dedicated PR reviewer on top — different job, different tool, $10/mo flat regardless of team size.
• You want consensus reviews from Claude and GPT. Copilot is GPT-family only. CodeMouse can run both and merge findings.
• You want full-repo context. CodeMouse passes the entire repository to the AI, not just the changed lines.
• You want context-aware comments. CodeMouse reads every existing PR comment before adding its own — no duplicates with humans or other bots.

When Copilot might be enough

• You only need light review on PRs and already pay for Copilot Business or Enterprise.
• You don't want a second AI tool in the loop.
