Codacy

Code quality and security for AI-assisted engineering.

Visit Codacy

Codacy is a code quality and application security platform that helps engineering teams manage the risks introduced by AI-assisted development. It consolidates multiple scanning tools into a single platform, solving the problem of enforcing consistent code quality, security, and AI coding policies across a fast-growing codebase without slowing down development.

The platform scans for code quality issues, security vulnerabilities, hardcoded secrets, insecure dependencies, infrastructure-as-code misconfigurations, and AI policy violations. Key capabilities include static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA) with daily CVE and malware rescans, secret detection, dynamic application security testing (DAST), and container image scanning. It also offers an AI Reviewer that provides pull request feedback with fix suggestions, an AI Risk Hub for centralized AI coding policies, and AI Guardrails that embed security checks into AI agents and IDEs. Codacy integrates with Git providers, IDEs, Jira, and Slack, and provides audit-ready compliance reports including software bills of materials (SBOMs) for standards like SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

Codacy is designed for fast-moving engineering teams and engineering leaders. It offers a free trial with no credit card required, and a free IDE plugin for individual developers. The platform is available in multiple editions with predictable, usage-based pricing.
