Codacy ranks ninth because AI review is part of a wider code quality and security platform rather than its whole focus. The Team plan starts at $18 per developer per month billed yearly, or $21 monthly, and adds GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab integration, cloud-hosted quality and security scans, up to 100 private repositories with unlimited lines of code, the AI Reviewer with merge gates for pull requests, shared coding standards across 49 languages, coverage reports and malicious package detection. The free Developer plan gives local analysis through agent skills, a CLI and IDE plugins for VS Code, JetBrains and Cursor, with handoff to coding agents for fixes, but it does not review pull requests. Team is designed for up to 30 developers, and larger organizations move to the custom Business plan for unlimited projects, DAST and SSO. Pick Codacy if you also need SAST, SCA and coverage gates, not only AI comments.
