About Codacy
Codacy is a code quality and security platform that analyzes code automatically, including on pull requests. It aims to let engineering teams enforce their quality, security and AI coding standards from a single place, so fast-moving teams can ship without slowing down for manual checks.
The platform covers code quality, security, coverage, an AI reviewer, AI guardrails, an AI inventory and an AI risk hub. Teams define coding standards once and apply them as a global policy across all projects, catching quality issues, security flaws, supply chain risks and AI coding violations. The vendor mentions a beta feature of self-healing gates for Claude and publishes comparisons with SonarQube, Snyk and CodeRabbit, along with pages on compliance topics such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS and HIPAA.
Codacy is a proprietary, hosted product. A full scan can be done within minutes, and it offers a 14-day free trial that does not require a credit card. Plan details are on the vendor's pricing page.
