Subscribing to a paid plan on SonarQube allows you to create a private organization containing private projects.

There are two paid plans available: Team and Enterprise.  You pay upfront for a maximum number of private lines of code to be analyzed in your organization.

SonarQube plan pricing starts at $34 monthly for analysis of up to 100k LOC. Other LOC increments are available.

We also offer a free tier that allows you to explore SonarQube using your private projects up to a maximum of 50k LoC.

Yes. If you prefer to manage your own infrastructure, SonarQube Server is our self-managed static analysis solution. 

It's available in three editions — Developer, Enterprise, and Data Center — each priced per instance, per year, based on your lines of code (LOC).

For the Team plan, payment is completed online via credit card and will happen automatically every month. For all billing questions, use the Contact Us form.

LOCs are computed by summing up the lines of code of each project analyzed in SonarQube. The LOCs used for a project are the ones found during the most recent analysis of this project.

Only LOCs from your private projects are counted toward your maximum number of LOCs.

If your project contains branches, we only count the lines of code in your largest branch

The count is not related to how frequently the source code is analyzed. If your private project has 6K LOCs and you analyze it 100 times in the month, this will be counted as 6K for the billing.

If you are getting close to the threshold, you will be notified to either upgrade your plan or reduce the number of LOCs in your projects.

Please note - in the future, we plan to introduce compute analysis measurements to enable admin monitoring of the volume of analyses made. 

With SonarQube Team plan you will be invoiced once a month, the day of the month after your trial ends. For example if you start your free trial on January 1st, it will last until January 14th and you will be first billed on January 15th for your upcoming month, e.g. January 15th to February 15th.
