Setup Guide

Pick how you run Reviewbot

Two paths: Managed (we host & maintain) or Self‑hosted (you deploy & customize).

Recommended

Managed (hosted by us)

Fastest way with zero maintenance. We run everything for you.

  • ✅ We take care of setup, hosting, updates, maintenance
  • ✅ No technical knowledge required
  • ❌ You’ll share access (API keys, passwords) with us
  • ❌ Less flexible for deep customizations

Self‑hosted

Full control + maximum flexibility. You handle deploys & updates.

  • ✅ Full control of app, data, and infrastructure
  • ✅ Customize n8n and AI to your exact needs
  • ❌ You own setup, updates, and maintenance
  • ❌ Requires some technical effort (Railway makes it easy)
  • ❌ Hosting costs are on you (typically small)
