We are using the Community edition of SonarQube.

Licensing costs are in the mid-range for this kind of solution. 

We're using an older version because it is the open-source flavor of it and we can continue using it at no cost. We're not paying any licensing at all, which was another factor in choosing this route so that we can learn and grow with it and not be committed to licenses and other similar things. If we choose to get something else, we have to relearn, but we don't have to relicense. Basically, we're paying no license costs.

I do not know the price of the solution since I have not been involved in purchasing licenses. However, this solution requires a license and we have enterprise-level licenses for our organization and for our client.

The beauty of this solution is the free open-source version is capable enough in doing pretty much what an enterprise-level version can do. The enterprise-level has only a few more options, such as better reporting and generating PDFs. If you have a small-scale project or if you do not have a high budget, I think open-source will do wonders.

The product’s price is lower than Veracode’s price.

In terms of pricing, SonarQube is more comfortable for global licensing and cloud-based usage, while Coverity's licenses, particularly in India, may come with more restrictions and be less flexible.

It's an open-source solution, with no additional costs.

We are using the community version of the solution and we plan on purchasing licenses for the upgraded version soon. There is a limitation on how many lines of code can be scanned and this is why we are going to purchase a license for an increased amount.

The solution has a free version and a license version. The license is priced reasonably, the cost of hiring one programmer is more expensive than the solution.

The licensing process could be improved. We need to contact purchasing to receive the key for the license but the process should be automatic, similar to a SAS purchase.

We pay a very reasonable, annual licensing fee. 

The solution is cheaper than other products.

I do not know about the pricing as I am using the community edition, which is free. But I compared the pricing with Sigma, and it is higher than SonarQube.

Licensing costs could be lower. We paid around 60,000 Singapore Dollars for our 20 million lines of code.

SonarQube enterprise, I am not sure of the price but from what I understand they are charging a fee. It's is not clear if it is an annual fee or a one-off. 

I don't know the global figure but they are asking each director general approximately a lump sum of $5,000, which doesn't sound like a lot for what the solution does.

The solution is open-source. It's free to use. 

We have partnered with B2B American to help with the purchasing of the license.

We have just been approved to purchase SonarQube Developer Edition.

We have a license with 125,000 lines of code. We did not purchase a lot of lines but it is specific to our code environment.

It's an open-source solution.

We purchased a SonarQube developer license. We do not have the enterprise version.

We pay for licensing on a yearly basis.

On the pricing side, it's 3,000 Euros for 1 million lines of code. Even if you look at the open-source, the open-source almost provide similar functions. Of course, some additional language support, among other things, however, the rest is available in open-source. If they can reduce the price, then I believe more people will join the licensed version rather than open-source. Pricing is a bit high based on the fact that they're already providing the open-source for free, and that also includes almost all the necessary items. People will not pay for the license if they can get most items for free. I would suggest if they reduce the price, that definitely it will boost the business.

SonarQube is a free, open-source product.

There are many different packages with different pricing options available. We are able to try what we have and if we need extra features we can upgrade the license.

I requested this license for one million lines of code and they accepted this.

I don't know what was already paid.

Everything is included in the standard licensing. 

I'm involved in the price discussions, so I'm unaware of the cost. However, I don't see any other competitors in the same space. There are one or two, but they're not popular. SonarQube is free for one user, so people can explore it, but if they need enterprise support, they can buy licenses, and we can go forward.

I'm not too aware of the pricing because a different team covers that, but SonarQube has been on the market for a very long time, so I would guess the pricing would be decent. 

SonarQube will incur hosting costs. There are SaaS options available at competitive prices too. 

Self-hosting SonarQube is subject to its open-source licenses documented on their website. 

We're using the Community Edition, and we don't pay for anything.

SonarQube is a fairly affordable solution for a larger scale if you have a specific role or specific department for secure code. We didn't pay for SonarQube. We used a free version of the solution because we had a small amount of code.

I am satisfied with the pricing.

The developer edition is based on cost per lines of code.

The free version of SonarQube does everything that we need it to.

Licenses of this solution can be purchased annually. We plan to buy the maximum license enterprise edition of the solution.

SonarQube is an open-source product that can be used free of charge. It is a cost-effective solution.

The costs for this application, for the kind of job it does, are pretty decent.

The price point on SonarQube is good.

We use the tool's community edition. 

A self-hosted SonarQube on a Kubernetes cluster is very cost efficient if you already have the infrastructure and don’t need the premium features.

It's an open-source product. All other solutions are commercial.

SonarQube price is a little bit higher than Kiuwan's. Kiuwan also gives a little bit of flexibility in terms of pricing.

The only associated costs if you are following the OSS route are the platforms on which you will run your server and database, and any commercial plugins that you want to use (we only use a couple of those). There is a need to invest in a robust environment and some recommended practice but that is no different from any other similar software engineering process. We tend to prefer devolvement of responsibility rather than centralized control. This includes individual teams looking after their own infrastructure as well as determining their own priorities in terms of continuous improvement (albeit there are some standard measure that apply, for example unit testing, code coverage, technical debt and so on).

For v5.4 we moved one of our installs to use the Professional edition. This made sense for us because we wanted to use some of the commercial plugins that are already bundled as well as formalise support with SonarSource. We still use the OSS version for teams who don't need commercial plugins and want to manage their own SQ environment (see above comments).

For the Community edition, there is no extra cost. It's totally free. The Enterprise edition, Data Center edition, and Developer edition are the paid versions. 

I am using the open source version of the product, so no cost. The licence is standard open source licensing, LGPL, so nothing to advise really.

What we are looking at in the future is a bit of a price reduction. The pricing that we have been quoted for the next version is a little expensive. The pricing could be also a bit reduced.

People can try the free licenses and later can seek buying plugins/support, etc. once they started liking it.

Compared to similar solutions, SonarQube was more accessible to us and had more benefits, with regards to size of the code base and supported languages. Apart from the Enterprise licensing fee, there are no additional costs. 

We are using the open-source community version, but there are enterprise licenses available.

We did not purchase a license (required for C++ support), but this option was considered.

The Java SonarQube version, which is free to use, was extremely helpful and I suggested to my managers that we purchase a license.

As a user and a consumer of this solution, it can be pricey for my company to support and use, even though there are many benefits. For this reason, we use the free version. In the future, as our product cycles develop and evolve at a more steady pace, we hope to invest in the licensing for this tool. 

It's a bit expensive for us. The currency rate of the dollar is a problem but it may be fine for other countries.

This solution provides good features for users.

The price of this solution is more expensive than competitors. However, it works better than competitors.

It is very expensive. Its price should be improved.

Unless you use a tech stack that is not supported, use the community version; there are no hidden costs or licensing required.

Get the paid version which allows the customized dashboard and provides technical support.

I have no advice on that part, as I'm not directly related to these aspects of the product myself.

Actually SonarQube offers a lot of free plug-ins for different languages, and we add additional paid plug-ins as well, such as PL/SQL, COBOL and Views, and our experience tell us that it is worth it.

My guess is that we have a yearly subscription. We use it quite extensively, so a monthly license wouldn't make sense. Yearly subscriptions are usually cheaper. 

In addition to the standard licensing fee, there is just the cost of running the hardware where it is hosted.

This solution is free.

We are using the Developer Edition and the cost is based on the amount of code that is being processed.

We are using the free, unlicensed version.

Some of the plugins that were previously free are not free now.

We are only using the free features.

The price of the solution could be reduced.

Right now, we are not using the enterprise features of the solution. I don't know about the licensing as I was not the one who introduced SonarQube into the pipeline. I believe we are using the free community edition and therefore aren't actually paying any money for it.

The product is basically free, so implementation is the greater cost. It will cost in man-hours for deployment and resources, or in consultation. The licensing fee is negligible.

I think comparing the product to competitors it should be less expensive.

There is a licensing fee, but I don't know the exact cost because I use this solution in partnership with other companies.

We are using the open-source version, which is available free of cost.

Its is available on open to use license.

The process of purchasing the solution could improve.

The development license cost is reasonable, and we've had no concerns about SonarQube when it comes to cost.

This is open source.

I use the community version of the product.

We pay €10 per month for this solution, which is good. It provides good value for money.

This product is, to my mind, a reference so that if you decide to put in place this software, you will improve the quality control inside your organization. Simple and effective.

It is free, so the price is good. If they had stronger plugins then we would gladly pay.

Price is high and only worth it if your organization has hundreds of developers.

I was using the Community Edition, which is available free of charge.

We purchased the solution; it's not on a monthly or annual contract.
