From $18 per developer/month (Team, billed annually; $21 monthly)

Team includes a $100 annual AI Review credit per user; Enterprise adds self-hosting and SSO on a quote.

Per-developer pricing rather than lines of code, which suits small teams with large codebases. Team covers up to 30 developers and 100 private repos; beyond that Business is quote-based.

Free for public repositories, with 1,000 PR reviews a month; 14-day trial plus AI Review credits on paid plans.

Developer plan is free forever, and Team is free for open-source projects.

• Autofix commits remove the tedious half of acting on findings.
• Low false-positive rate keeps developers engaged with the tool.
• Cheap and quick to adopt.

• Per-developer pricing is cheaper than SonarQube for small teams on big repositories.
• Bundles quality and security scanning in one PR check.
• Very quick to set up — connect a repository and it works.

• Narrower language coverage than SonarQube.
• Smaller vendor with less enterprise governance tooling.
• Autofix still needs review — it is not unattended.

• Wrapping open-source linters means analysis depth depends on those tools.
• Configuration across many languages becomes fiddly.
• Less established than SonarQube in enterprise procurement.

Teams that want static analysis developers do not resent.

Small and mid-sized teams wanting quality and security checks in PRs without running a server.
