Pricing questions

Frequently asked questions

Understand

How much does Understand cost?

Understand is sold as an annual subscription with the cost breakdown between $100-$120 USD per month. Prices may vary depending on geographical location and number of licenses required.

How can I share Understand’s results with my team?

Understand’s developer license offers an array of carefully selected features tailored to enhance the productivity of developers. Note that certain capabilities, such as command line automation with und, API access, and exporting dependencies, graphs, metrics, and CodeCheck results and reports, are not available in this particular license. If you require these functionalities, we recommend reaching out to our sales team who can explore alternative licensing options better suited for your team’s needs.

How are licenses provided?

Licenses are usually provided via an online licensing solution (similar to Adobe or Office 365). If you work offline or in a secure lab we provide solutions that address those at the same cost. Learn more in our blog post, Licensing Understand As You Grow.

Is Understand free for open source and education?

Yes! Understand is free for students and teachers to use for educational purposes, and for qualifying open source projects. Want to teach a class on code maintenance or need some metrics for your thesis? No problem, we got you covered. Learn how.

I analyze other people’s code as a service, how much will a license cost?

If your use case is analyzing other people’s code as a service, please contact us as the license cost could vary based on the size and number of accounts you service.

Onboard

How is Onboard priced?

Pricing is based on the number of projects covered. Every tier includes unlimited users and unlimited lines of code.

Can everyone on the team access it?

Yes. Onboard is meant to be shared by the engineering team, so developers can work from the same project model rather than isolated local notes or one-off AI sessions. Every tier includes unlimited users.

Does source code leave our environment?

No. Onboard is self-hosted, and source code does not need to be uploaded to SciTools or to a third-party cloud service.

Is Onboard free for open source and education?

Yes. Onboard is free for qualifying open source projects and educational use. Eligibility can be reviewed with SciTools.

What counts as a project?

A project is the unit Onboard organizes work around — typically a codebase or repository, even if it spans multiple binaries or libraries. If those binaries and libraries are built and maintained together as a single product, we treat them as one project. That said, every team’s setup is different, and we know “one product” isn’t always a clean line. If you’re not sure how your codebase should be counted, our sales team can work with you directly to find a fair setup for your situation.
