About Review Board
Review Board is a review tool for code, documents, designs and other files. It is mature, open source and can run on your own servers.
What it does
Teams use Review Board to leave comments on changes and track each review through to approval. It supports many version control systems, including Git, Mercurial, Subversion and Perforce. Review steps and approval rules can be shaped around how a team works, and every decision is kept in an audit trail. Automated checks and webhooks can be connected to the review process.

Who it's for
Review Board fits software teams, and also content writers, hardware engineers and game studios that need sign off on their files. Teams that must keep data on their own network will find the on-prem option useful.
Pricing and good to know
The project is MIT licensed, so the core software is free to use. The site also offers paid plans with support, managed cloud hosting and air-gapped installs. Installers and Docker containers are available for self-hosting, which means your team takes on the upkeep.
