What is the SONARSOURCE* CLOUD charge?

Why it shows up like this

Seeing SONARSOURCE* CLOUD on your corporate card or financial statement indicates a payment for automated code quality and security testing tools provided by SonarSource S.A. This transaction actually represents a SonarQube Cloud Static Code Analysis Subscription, which evaluates source code for bugs, security vulnerabilities, and code smells across private repositories within continuous integration pipelines.

Most recurring charges appear because an engineering team upgraded from the free public repository tier to a paid plan for private code scanning, or because analyzed line-of-code thresholds increased. SonarSource calculates subscription fees monthly based on the total volume of private lines of code processed. When repositories expand or new projects are added, monthly billing amounts scale accordingly.

To review your organization's subscription details, download past invoices, inspect analyzed line-of-code counts, or modify payment settings, sign into the developer platform online and navigate to the administration billing panel. From there, you can update corporate credit card credentials, manage organization licenses, or cancel paid plans to return to free community tiers. Keeping close track of your monthly statements ensures complete financial security and prevents unexpected surprises from recurring charges.
