VibeCop measures architecture-level entropy — whether new code drifts from the patterns your codebase already established — using a full code graph rather than the diff alone. Most review tools answer a different question, so VibeCop generally runs alongside them rather than replacing them.
| Typical review tool | VibeCop | |
|---|---|---|
| Unit of analysis | The diff in a single pull request | The whole repository as a code graph, with the diff read against it |
| Question answered | Is this change correct on its own terms? | Does this change fit the architecture the codebase already has? |
| Output | Inline comments and suggested fixes | A 0–100 Architecture Integrity Index across four axes, tracked over time, plus findings |
| Runs alongside others | — | Yes — VibeCop is additive, not a replacement for linting or PR review |
Each comparison page goes into detail on one tool, in category facts rather than marketing claims. Cost questions point at each vendor's own pricing page, since published prices change often.
