Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Graphite have a free plan?

Yes. The Hobby plan is permanently free and covers personal repositories, the CLI for stacked PRs, the VS Code extension, the MCP integration, and limited access to AI Reviews and Graphite Chat. Paid plans unlock team-wide features, unlimited AI capabilities, and advanced merge queue controls.

What is a stacked pull request and why does it matter?

A stacked PR is a series of small, dependent pull requests where each one builds on the last. Instead of waiting for one large PR to be reviewed, developers keep shipping new work while earlier changes are still under review. When an earlier PR merges, Graphite automatically rebases the dependent ones, reducing merge conflicts and keeping teams unblocked.

Does Graphite work with my existing GitHub setup?

Yes. Graphite is built on top of Git and syncs with GitHub, so your existing repositories, branch protection rules, and CI pipelines continue to work. The Starter and higher plans support all GitHub Organization repositories, and the Enterprise tier adds support for GitHub Enterprise Server.

What does the merge queue do?

Graphite's merge queue is stack-aware, meaning it understands the dependency order of your stacked PRs and lands them in the correct sequence. It can batch and test multiple PRs in parallel once they're approved and CI passes, dramatically reducing the time teams spend waiting for sequential merges.

Is Graphite suitable for large engineering organizations?

Yes. The Enterprise plan includes advanced merge queue configuration, custom analytics, role-based access controls, SAML/SSO, audit logging for SIEM tools, GitHub Enterprise Server support, and premium support with SLAs. Pricing for Enterprise is custom and based on team size and requirements.
