Pull Panda (integrated into GitHub Code Review) review and pricing

Acquired by GitHub in 2019, core features integrated into native code review.

By GitHub · Founded 2018 · San Francisco, CA · public

Pull Panda was a dedicated GitHub code review automation product (Pull Reminders, Pull Analytics, Pull Assigner) founded 2018 that GitHub acquired in August 2019. After the acquisition GitHub integrated the core features into native Code Review and made them free for all GitHub users, then sunset the standalone Pull Panda product. As of 2026 there is no standalone Pull Panda buyer experience, Pull Reminders functionality lives inside GitHub Pull Requests scheduled reminders, code-owner assignment, and Slack notifications; Pull Analytics functionality lives inside GitHub Insights and the GitHub REST API metrics endpoints. We list it here for buyers searching for the historical product so they understand the current path: do not buy Pull Panda separately, configure the equivalent inside GitHub. Strengths today: free as part of GitHub, native to the platform, no second invoice. Trade-offs: depth of the original Pull Panda product has not been fully recreated (Pull Analytics is thinner than the original), and buyers wanting modern PR automation should consider Mergify or Graphite.
