Based on public documentation as of 2026-08-11. ✓ documented · ~ partial · ✗ not offered · ? unknown. Methodology on the about page.

Project-model-aware inspections across the whole codebase; no multi-repo or ticket context.

Deterministic inspection profiles, baselines, and quality gates fully controlled by the team.

Same inspections in JetBrains IDEs locally and in CI pipelines; IDE-consistent results are the core pitch.

No issue-tracker or requirements validation.

Static rules; baselines suppress known issues but nothing is learned from feedback.

Static analysis only; no sandbox or runtime validation.

No LLM/BYOK dimension to be transparent about; flat per-contributor pricing is published.

Can auto-apply IDE quick-fixes in CI (fixesStrategy apply/cleanup) for supported inspections.

Qodana Cloud trends and Insights (Ultimate Plus) track code quality over time; no DORA/ROI metrics.
