Cloud-based static code analysis for detecting bugs, vulnerabilities, and code smells.
Overview
SonarQube Cloud, formerly known as SonarCloud, is a cloud-hosted static analysis service from Sonar that scans source code for bugs, security vulnerabilities, code smells, and secrets across more than 30 programming languages. It integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps to enforce quality gates on pull requests, and offers AI-driven code fix suggestions alongside compliance reporting for standards such as OWASP and PCI DSS.
The honest half
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about SonarQube Cloud.
Cross-shopped
Each pairing was judged by two reviewers asking whether a buyer would genuinely weigh the two against each other. The ones that failed were deleted rather than published.

Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
The Team plan starts at $34/month for up to 100,000 lines of code, while Enterprise pricing is custom and quoted annually with additional compliance and SSO features.
SourceYes, the free tier lets you explore SonarQube Cloud on a private project up to a maximum of 50,000 lines of code; public projects are free.
SourceBilling is based on lines of code in the largest branch of a project; how often analysis runs does not affect the price.

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for SonarQube Cloud, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it. Tell us if any of it is wrong.
