Codacy plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Developer | Free | 3 | Entry tier |
| Team | $18/month | 5 | +$18/month, 5 more features |
| Business | On request | 5 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full Codacy feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

integration
- Jira and Slack integration
People bring Codacy in for automating pull request code review, enforcing shared coding standards across teams, scanning for secrets and vulnerable dependencies, tracking test coverage over time, blocking merges that fail quality gates. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Codacy are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Codacy badges page.
Before you pay for Codacy
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Codacy runs on web, api, and is published by Codacy. The full record is on the Codacy review, and the rest of the category is under best software development tools.
