GitHub Dependabot — free
Keep this one.
Continuous alerts for known vulnerable dependencies across every repo, from GitHub, for $0. That's the only scanner you need — because the other kind of checking moves inside the Job.

Do you still need CodeRabbit?
No. CodeRabbit comments on the diff; a FalseGreen Job fails the verdict until the diff works — built, tested, secured, and proved.
What CodeRabbit does
What it does well.
- Automatic PR summaries and line-by-line comments
- Pre-merge checklists inside GitHub
- Broad language coverage; quick setup
The replacement
Free Dependabot + one FalseGreen Job covers CodeRabbit.
FalseGreen Job — before merge
This replaces CodeRabbit.
Replace the per-seat review subscription with per-Job verification that also covers CI, security, and proofs.
