Our Approach

1. Security-First Design 🔒
   • Zero Cloud Dependency: Runs entirely on your infrastructure (on-prem or private cloud) - except for checking for software updates and licence validation
   • Complete Code Privacy: Your source code and credentials never leave your environment
   • Risk Elimination: Recent breaches of cloud-hosted reviewers show how misconfigurations expose repositories--LiveReview eliminates this by design
   • Full Control: Your code stays on your servers, period
2. Maximum Flexibility
   • Multi-Platform: Integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket
   • AI Choice Freedom: Choose Gemini, OpenAI, or self-hosted Ollama for maximum privacy
   • Workflow Adaptation: Adapts to your process instead of forcing change
   • Custom Support: Unusual setup? We'll work with you-- open an issue
3. Transparent Affordability
   • Straightforward Pricing: Significantly lower than comparable hosted tools
   • Sustainable Model: Paid software built for long-term reliability
   • R&D Focus: Investment goes to product improvements, not marketing hype
   • Maximum Value: Every dollar funds engineering excellence

How is this better than... 🆚
