For solo developers.
Passed code review. It failed in production.
Other AI reviewers drown you in style nits and false positives until you stop reading them. I built Prune to ignore the fluff. It flags only the five things that break production: security holes, null crashes, broken types, risky branches, and N+1 queries.
The problem
Bleeding from constant false positives.
Most teams abandon AI tools within 90 days due to noise fatigue. You open a PR to find seven or eight flags, half of which are the model misunderstanding context. You end up suppressing the noise instead of finding actual bugs.
AI doesn't know your codebase.
The agent edits three files but misses the shared utility and quietly breaks an endpoint you forgot existed. It flags routine issues while missing the race condition or null pointer that crashes on edge cases.
Paying $40 for a solo workflow.
Competitors charge $25 to $40 per seat. 'Nine dollars a month for what? To insert my API key?' You're a solo founder; you don't need enterprise pricing with scan limits that break your flow.
What you'll get
- ▸Flags only the five critical killers: security regressions, broken type contracts, missing null checks, untested branching logic, and accidental N+1 database calls. Zero style nitpicks. Zero time wasted on surface-level errors.
- ▸Respects your IP boundaries. Other tools process code in the cloud. Prune runs locally or offline so your proprietary diffs never leave your infra. Review sensitive logic without exfiltration fears.
- ▸Solo-optimized pricing under $15 per month. No seats, no team limits. 'Paying for an AI subscription is cheaper than a developer.' Get the value of a senior review for a fraction of the cost.

FAQ
- How is this different from CodeRabbit?
- CodeRabbit and similar tools flag routine issues and stylistic nitpicks that make you ignore the real problems. We filter out the noise entirely. We only report on the five things that break production. If it doesn't break the app, we don't comment.
- Does it catch context-specific bugs?
- Generic tools miss shared utilities and hidden dependencies. I built Prune to track architectural memory. It catches the breakage in the endpoint you forgot existed, not just surface-level syntax errors.
- Is my code private?
- Yes. PR diffs usually contain proprietary code you don't want leaving your infra. Prune is built with local and offline modes. Your code stays yours. No exfiltration, no IP leaks.
- Why is it so cheap?
- Per-seat pricing assumes a full dev team. I designed this for solo creators and tiny shops. 'Paying for an AI subscription is cheaper than paying for a developer.' The low price is the feature, not a limit.
