Warclick vs Jellyfish: Engineering Analytics Without the Blind Spots
See every commit on every branch — including the work your current tool can't see.
In a Warclick audit, 32% of one engineer's actual non-merge commits — 86 out of 265 — were invisible to Jellyfish.
- All branches captured — every push, every branch, deduplicated by SHA
- Fair attribution — actor-first, squash-merge credit preserved
- AI tool adoption included — recognized tool signatures from GitHub metadata, no extra integrations
| Warclick | Jellyfish | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | $5 / active engineer / month, $20/mo minimum (publicly listed) | $30–$50 / engineer / month, annual contracts* |
| Pricing transparency | Listed on homepage | Quote required, no public list price* |
| How you start | Self-serve GitHub install, 7-day free trial, no credit card | Sales call → demo → quote → annual contract |
| Time to first dashboard | ~30 minutes after install | Multi-week onboarding* |
| Branch coverage | All branches (every push to every branch via webhooks) | 32% of one engineer's commits invisible to Jellyfish in Warclick audit* |
| Commit attribution | Actor-first: credits the authenticated GitHub pusher | Standard Git author/email; primarily tracks default-branch activity* |
| Squash-merge crediting | Author keeps credit when their PR is squash-merged | Commit-level attribution can be lost or consolidated* |
| Branch double-counting | Each commit counted once by SHA | One row per commit per branch (1.83× inflation observed in audit)* |
| AI coding tool adoption | Heuristic detection across ≥10 tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Aider, others) | AI Impact via vendor / IDE integrations (Copilot, Cursor, Gemini, Sourcegraph, Windsurf)* |
| Engineer-level leaderboards | Yes, by default on every dashboard | Declined by AI Assistant on policy grounds; data limitations acknowledged when pressed* |
| Data scope | GitHub, read-only | GitHub + Jira + HRIS + finance tools |
| Best fit | 10–50 engineer teams | 50–500+ engineer enterprises |

Based on a Warclick audit comparing one engineer’s activity in both tools over the same time window. Counts only; no person, company, date, or project identifiers.
Imagine sitting down for a 1-on-1 with a builder, looking at the wrong number. You're either over-praising work that didn't happen or under-recognizing work that did. Neither one ends well.
Can you actually rank your engineers?
Ask Jellyfish's AI Assistant for a leaderboard ranking your engineers by commits or PRs. It declines, framing the refusal as a privacy policy: ranking engineers head-to-head by output metrics, it says, "falls outside what I'm able to provide".
Press on whether the refusal is policy or data, and a different answer emerges. The assistant acknowledges the gaps:
Even setting policy aside, the data wouldn't support a reliable leaderboard. Feature-branch work is missing. Squash-merge attribution is partial. Per-person counts are, by Jellyfish's own AI, affected.
Warclick is built around the engineer view — Warriors, calendars, leaderboards. Every dashboard answers a question Jellyfish's own product won't. Not because we're cavalier about people, but because the data is complete enough to be honest: every commit on every branch, attributed to the authenticated GitHub pusher, with squash-merge credit preserved.
Verify directly: ask Jellyfish's AI Assistant about a top-10 engineer leaderboard, then ask whether it tracks all branches and squash-merge attribution. The pattern reproduces.
All-branch reality
Warclick captures every commit on every push, regardless of branch. We deduplicate by SHA so a single commit never inflates a count just because it lives on multiple branches. Squash merges preserve credit to the original author. The attribution model is actor-first: the authenticated GitHub pusher gets credit, fixing phantom-email and multi-account misattribution out of the box.
There's a name for measuring only the work that survived to main. It's called measuring the iceberg by the tip. Useful if you're a captain. Less useful if you're trying to coach the people doing the underwater work.
AI coding tool adoption: same outcome, different cost to get there
Both tools surface AI coding tool adoption. The question is what it costs you to get there — and which tools you can see.
Warclick reports recognized tool signatures from GitHub commit metadata, plus separate message-format hints. It requires no per-tool API keys but cannot see every use of AI or quantify coding effort. Delivery Leverage puts team output, merge time and review coverage alongside that evidence without claiming causation.
Pricing reality check
At $5 per active engineer per month, Warclick costs about 12.5% of typical reported Jellyfish per-seat pricing. Run the math against the quote you actually receive.
* Based on publicly reported ranges of $30–$50/seat/month (G2, Vendr, Capterra). Your actual quote may differ.
Warclick publishes its price on the homepage. Jellyfish requires a sales call to find out theirs. If you're evaluating tools on a tight timeline, that's a difference before either tool even runs.
