Finding bugs is of questionable use because it's sort of limited to obvious bloopers. One usually needs to be deeply involved and familiar with the business logic to be able to spot a real bug of the type that will give you serious trouble - external services obviously will never have time for such commitment.
That said, I think there's still a lot of space where this service can be very useful: from improving your code style and an affordable way to have security audits, to just a support net for developers who might feel overwhelmed by a task sometimes, and could use some friendly advices from a seasoned dev. It being an external service can also make it less stressful and personal, which is great as some devs see code reviews as a criticism of their skills and go all defensive about it, creating tensions in teams (sounds silly, but I've seen a lot of it).
