CodeScene is free for open-source projects. We also have a set of paid plans so that you can tailor CodeScene to your needs or analyze private repositories. This allows larger organizations to benefit from advanced analyses like CodeScene's cost metrics and delivery performance measures. We have a free trial so you can evaluate CodeScene before starting a plan.

CodeScene’s license is based on the number of active authors. An active author is anyone who has committed code over the past three months to the codebases you want to analyse. This time period is a sliding window that always starts at the date of the most recent commit in your repositories. Each author is only counted once. That is, if you analyse multiple codebases, the same persons only count once no matter how many projects they contribute to. Historic authors are free. People who haven’t committed code within the last three months are included for free and don’t add to the license fee.

During the Free Trial period, you get access to all the features in the plan of your choice. When you start your trial you choose if you want to try the Standard or the Pro plan.

We accept all major credit cards and invoicing.

There’s no limit on the number of active authors. The total cost of using CodeScene is based on how many active authors you have. The number of users that can login and use any of the CodeScene features, such as the automatic pull request reviews, are unlimited.

Cancellations can be done according to our terms which is 30 days before the end of the yearly subscription period. Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled at any time and will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period.

Yes, we have a completely free version for students which you can access by first getting a GitHub Student Developer Pack. Also see https://codescene.com/github-students

In all major aspects they are the same product but it makes it possible for you to integrate and use CodeScene on matter if your current tooling and handling of your source code is cloud based or running on private servers.

It’s easy. You purchase CodeScene at our website, see pricing. Choose between our On-Prem or cloud solution, add the amount of active authors you have, press purchase and follow payment instructions. Three clicks later you are done. Do you want to scale up with more active authors? For On-Prem just go to your personal site in our customer portal and upgrade the subscription. If you are running our Cloud version, just login to your CodeScene cloud, find your price plan, change to new monthly subscription that fits your needs the best. Scale up or down. Your choice.

CodeScene is a quality visualization tool for software. Prioritize technical debt, detect delivery risks, and measure organizational aspects. It's fully automated.

CodeScene's paid plans also integrates with Pull Requests to provide real-time feedback on hotspots that decline in code health. Use this feature as a soft quality gate and as code review input.

CodeScene takes a behavioral view of of your codebase by adding insights into the people side of your code. This means you can detect coordination bottlenecks, simulate upcoming knowledge loss used for off-boarding, and measure how well your organization aligns with Conway's Law. All in one tool.

Yes, we do. Check out our plans for details on private repositories.

Yes, all plans let you analyze repositories owned by organizations that you are a member of. However, with the Community Edition plan you can only analyze public organizational repositories.

Yes, CodeScene supports multi-repository analyses.

CodeScene's X-Ray is an analysis that investigates the evolution of each function or method within a Hotspot. X-Ray is a great tool to prioritize technical debt and lets you refactor large files iteratively guided by data as described here and here.

CodeScene supports X-Ray for Hotspots. Just click on a Hotspot in your Hotspot Map and launch an X-Ray.

CodeScene lets you build knowledge maps over your code and measure the potential knowledge loss in your codebase (aka the Bus factor). You can also analyze the development efforts across teams. That team-level measurement lets you inspect how well-aligned your organization and architecture are with respect to Conway's Law. All you have to do is to visit your project's configuration page and define the teams in your organization.

Because of how the Git providers API works, we are forced to request read and write access for CodeScene in order to read your code (see repo and public_repo scopes). CodeScene will of course never write any data to the Git repository itself.

We have two ways to share projects with other CodeScene users.

Organizational Accounts

Organizational accounts are the primary way to share multiple projects with other members of your GitHub organization or Bitbucket workspace. When you create a new organizational account you can add/remove organization members in Configuration.

Project Collaborators

Organization members have access to all projects inside your organization. You can also give a collaborator access to a single project in the "Access Management" section in project configuration using the corresponding email addresses of those accounts. To find the email address, check the "My Account" page of the collaborator.

As a collaborator, you get read access to a project and its analysis results, as well as the ability to run new analyses, and to X-Ray files.

CodeScene is ISO/IEC 27001 accredited. Information Security Management ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard on how to manage information safely and helps us to continuously improve. We have taken the necessary measures to protect sensitive information from unauthorized persons. Read our full privacy policy:

On-prem

With the On-prem version, your code and analysis results stay on your server. For environments with high security requirements, there is even an offline mode that allows On-prem to run without an external network connection.

Cloud

The Cloud security model is based on your Git provider's model. Only users with access to the code on GitHub, Bitbucket or Gitlab can have access to the analysis results on CodeScene. In CodeScene cloud we never share data in private repositories. CodeScene cloud does fetch your repository to do an analysis but deletes the local copy immediately afterwards. The analysis results are only available to you and the people you chose to invite. You can also delete an analysis project at any time and we make sure all your data is removed.

1. License and utilization data
Used to determine if each CodeScene installation has a valid license and the number of active authors is inline with the current subscription

2. Anonymized usage data
Used to improve the CodeScene product and to ensure that users have a successful experience. For example, but not limited to, we gather data whether an analysis was successful or failed, which features in the product are configured and when they are used.

We never gather personal identifiers such as name, email of users and we never gather any parts of the your code.
