We use read-only OAuth access to GitHub. We read pull request metadata, commit history, and review activity. Your code stays yours: we never clone your repository or read your files. The only code we store is the short snippet GitHub attaches to an inline review comment, which is how we measure review quality. We never receive secrets, environment variables, or write permissions, and you can revoke access at any time from your GitHub settings.

There isn't one. CodePulse is free up to 10 developers, with no credit card and no expiry. Teams that want ongoing visibility across a larger organization upgrade to a paid plan, and that is the whole business - not selling your data, not ads, just software subscriptions. Pricing is one flat price per organization rather than per seat, so it does not rise every time you hire. Even if you never pay us a cent, you'll walk away with genuine insights about your engineering organization.

This is the most common concern we hear, and honestly - most teams welcome it. CodePulse shows team-level patterns, not individual surveillance metrics. There's no keystroke tracking, no screen time, no individual scoring. What engineers actually see is where their PRs get stuck, who's overloaded with reviews, and whether the process is working. Those are frustrations they already have - CodePulse just makes them visible. Several of our teams were set up by the engineers themselves, not management.

You can build a dashboard. The work is everything after that: cycle time split into four phases from real timestamps, sentiment and quality scoring on review comments, review network graphs, knowledge silo and file hotspot detection, Monte Carlo forecasting, an 8-type risk system, plus watermark-based incremental sync, ETag caching and rate-limit handling so the API does not throttle you. Then you own it - GitHub API changes, edge cases, and the backlog of metrics nobody has time to add. Most teams find their engineers have better things to build.

Installing the CodePulse app on a work GitHub organization usually needs an owner's approval. Start the connection either way: if approval is needed, we give you a link to send to an owner, and your setup resumes the moment they approve. You do not need to be an admin to begin, and nothing is synced until the install is approved.

The price does not move with your headcount. Paid plans are one flat price per organization rather than per contributor or per seat, so hiring is a non-event on the bill - which is the opposite of how most of this category prices. You can see the tiers and what each includes on the pricing page before you connect anything.

Yes! CodePulse works with both public and private repositories. The OAuth permissions work the same way - we only access the repositories you explicitly choose to connect, and we maintain the same strict read-only access and encryption standards.

You have full control. You can delete all your organization's data with one click from the settings page. You can also revoke OAuth access directly from GitHub (Settings > Applications > Authorized OAuth Apps). Once deleted, your data is permanently removed from our systems.
