The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Fig shut down on 1 September 2024. Amazon acquired Fig in August 2023 and folded it into Amazon Q Developer, which now carries the terminal autocomplete; SonarQube free tier caps at 50,000 lines of code for private projects, per sonarsource.com/plans-and-pricing (Aug 2026); larger private codebases require the $34 per month Team plan or above
