SonarQube
#1
Pricing
DeepSource
Simple seat-based pricing, with no hidden costs and no surprises. No matter how many repositories or lines of code you analyze, you pay per seat.
SonarQube
Tiered pricing based on line of code, with opaque pricing for several capabilities. Your costs can skyrocket as your codebase grows.
#2
Setup and Maintenance
DeepSource
Easy to set up, doesn't require integration with CI, and seamlessly integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps in less than 5 minutes.
SonarQube
Difficult installation and maintenance, including complex CI configuration, is one one of the top complaints of SonarQube's customers.
#3
User Experience
DeepSource
DeepSource is fast, pleasant, and designed carefully — keeping developers in mind. The web interface is clean, snappy, and optimized for everyday developer workflows — by getting out of their way.
SonarQube
SonarQube treats source code analysis more as a reporting tool than a workflow tool for developers. Their legacy user experience is designed for users to find issues periodically, not proactively.
#4
Accuracy
DeepSource
DeepSource guarantees less than 5% false positives in the issues raised. If you spot a false positive, you can suppress it and report it to DeepSource support.
SonarQube
SonarQube users often complain that the results are very noisy and contain a very high number of false positives. There's also no way to report issues as false positives — you're on your own.
#5
Release Cycle
DeepSource
DeepSource's platform and static analyzers are frequently updated, with a bi-weekly release cycle for DeepSource Enterprise Server.
SonarQube
Most users who've switched from SonarQube have complained of their slow release cycles and infrequent updates to their analyzers.
5,000+ companies have chosen DeepSource.From startups to Fortune 500s.
