Codacy review

Codacy is the budget pick for teams that want pull request scanning without a security-tool price. Team costs $18 per developer per month billed yearly, or $21 monthly, and covers up to 30 developers and 100 private repositories with unlimited lines of code. It connects to GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab, applies shared coding standards across 49 languages, and adds an AI reviewer, merge gates, coverage reports and malicious package detection. A free Developer plan runs the same analysis locally through IDE plugins, the CLI and an agent integration, and open source projects use Codacy free. The tradeoffs come at scale and depth. Custom rules, false positive detection, license scanning, DAST, container scanning, SSO and audit logs all sit on the quote-based Business plan, and Team stops at 30 developers. Codacy also has no Azure DevOps integration listed on its pricing page, which rules it out for teams on that host.
