The day we last read the vendor's page. Our last read of it, on 2026-11-08, checked the page for SonarQube Cloud's name and a price. We hold no confirmation of the terms we publish — the 2026-08-23 beside this date is not one we can source to a read that confirmed them.

Free Tier Details

Code quality and security analysis, free for open-source projects and for private projects up to 50k lines of code: SonarSource lists the "SonarQube Team Plan, free for your private projects up to 50k LOC. No card, no expiry." 40+ languages and frameworks, CI/CD integration. Formerly SonarCloud.

We read that on 2026-11-08 from https://www.sonarsource.com/products/sonarcloud/, and our check recorded: the page names SonarQube Cloud as "sonarqube cloud" and states amounts, none of which we matched to the terms we publish. A source check reads the cited page for the service's name and a price; the limits above are from our own record.
