SonarQube, by Sonar (SonarSource), is a code-quality and SAST platform with integrated secrets detection and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) analysis. The free Community Build is self-hostable (LGPLv3 core, with bundled analyzers under the Sonar Source-Available License since Nov 2024), while paid Developer, Enterprise, and Data Center editions add deeper SAST and scale, priced per instance per year by lines of code. SonarQube Cloud offers a free tier for small private projects and free analysis of open-source projects.
