Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free version of Ellipsis?

Yes. Ellipsis is free for public GitHub repositories with no time limit. Paid plans unlock private repository support and are priced per developer seat.

Which code platforms does Ellipsis support?

As of 2026, Ellipsis supports GitHub only. It does not currently integrate with GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps.

How does Ellipsis handle source code security and privacy?

Ellipsis is SOC 2 Type 1 certified and has a zero source code retention policy, meaning your code is not stored after a review is completed.

What is the best use case for Ellipsis?

Ellipsis is best suited for development teams that ship code frequently via pull requests and want a consistent, always-available automated reviewer to catch bugs, enforce style, and accelerate merges.
