About
Codacy is a cloud-based code quality and security platform for Git repositories, IDEs, and AI coding workflows. It scans source code, pull requests, and runtime targets for quality issues, security findings, dependency vulnerabilities, secrets, IaC misconfigurations, container image issues, and DAST findings, then surfaces results in the web app, IDE plugins, Git integrations, Jira, and Slack.
The pricing page lists a free Developer plan for individual IDE use at $0 per dev/month, plus a 14-day free trial for Team and Business plans. The free offering is most clearly tied to the IDE plugin, while the broader hosted platform is paid with plan-based limits such as up to 100 private repos on Team and unlimited private projects on Business.
- Free IDE plugin for individual developers
- Scan-as-you-type editor feedback
- Security scans for SAST, SCA, secrets
- Code quality scans in 49 languages
- VSCode, JetBrains, and Cursor support
- 14-day platform trial
Free Tier Value
This free tier is strong because the Developer plan is free forever and includes the core IDE-based scanning and AI-fix workflow, while the Team plan starts at $18 per dev/month. Since the free offering covers most of the day-to-day developer experience but leaves out the team/cloud collaboration layer, it’s worth about $18/month in practical value. A credit card is not required, but the broader Team trial is time-limited at 14 days.
