About
SemanticDiff is a GitHub pull request review tool that renders programming-language-aware diffs for code changes. It highlights moved code, refactorings, and style-only changes, and supports review comments, approve/request-changes actions, and synchronization with GitHub.
The free plan is available for open source projects and small teams of up to 3 members. It includes support for public and private repositories, 14 programming languages plus JSON, XML/DTD, and gettext .po files, and community support through a public issue tracker or discussion forum.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable for small teams: it stays available forever, includes the core review workflow, and supports up to 3 seats, public and private repositories, and community support. The cheapest paid plan is $10 per seat per month, so a 3-seat free allowance is worth about $10/month for a small team, though the paid plan adds priority processing and premium support. A credit card is not called out for the free plan, and the 14-day trial on the paid tier is separate from the perpetual free offering.
