Free to start
Pay one fixed price for your whole team, however many developers it has.
Your first survey of every repository you connect is free, with nothing held back: the full score, every grade, the ranked list of what to fix, and a signed evidence package you can share. You see exactly what Watchdog finds in your own code before you pay any money.
After that, you pay a fixed price for a plan, and every price is on this page. You never pay per person, per repository or per language: split your code into as many repositories as you like and write it in as many languages as you like, and the price stays the same. The plan that fits depends on whether you work alone or as a team, how much code you survey each month, and whether you answer one question a day about a finding in a public open-source project.
How much code you survey is counted in line-scans: one line of code read in one survey. Your monthly total is the size of your code multiplied by how often it is surveyed, and each plan's card shows how many line-scans it covers.

From one developer to a whole company
Which of these describes you?
Find the description closest to your own situation. Each one names the plan that fits it.
Individual developers
You want to know how your code compares.
You might be a student with a thesis project, a hobbyist with a side project, an open-source maintainer or a freelancer. You get feedback from users, teachers or clients, but rarely a measure of the code itself. Watchdog scores your code on the same 0–100 scale as the public surveys of real open-source projects, and ranks what to improve first. You can share the result with a teacher, an employer or a client.
Community free
Startup founders and CTOs
You're building fast with a small team.
You're a founder, a CTO or one of the first developers at a startup, and speed matters most right now. That leaves little time to check the state of the code as it grows. Watchdog checks it for you on a schedule you choose and shows what to fix first. When an investor or a buyer asks about the code, you already have the answer.
Community unlimited
Engineering managers and tech leads
You're responsible for several products and the team that builds them.
You're an engineering manager, a tech lead or an architect. Your team reviews each change, but no one sees how the whole product develops from one sprint to the next. Watchdog surveys every product on your schedule and shows what changed since the last survey, which parts only one person knows, and what to fix first. You can plan the work with it and give leadership a clear answer on quality.
Professional
Regulated organisations
Your source code must never leave your network.
You work at a bank, an insurer, a public body or a defence supplier, where the rules keep source code inside your own network. You still need to know how good and how secure that code is, and to show your auditors the evidence. Watchdog runs on your own machines, so you get the full survey without the code ever leaving.
Enterprise
Consultancies and agencies
You build software for clients.
You run a consultancy, an agency or a development team for hire. You know the quality of your work, but your clients see mainly the demo and rely on what you tell them about the code. Watchdog gives them an independent score they can check for themselves, and Assay, our product for business reports, adds the attestation and the contract appendix when you deliver.
Any plan, plus Assay
Owners and buyers of software
You pay for software that other people write.
You're an IT director, a product owner or a business owner, and a supplier builds your systems, or you're about to buy a system or a whole company. Today, what you know about the code comes from the people who wrote it, and you'd like an independent view. Watchdog surveys the code you own, whoever writes it, and Assay, our product for business reports, checks the software you're buying.
Watchdog or Assay
Fixed prices
Every plan has one fixed price and the same full survey.
Pick the plan that fits who you are and where your code has to run. The price is fixed, there is no meter to watch, and you survey as often as you like within fair use.

The first survey of every repository you connect is free on every plan. What happens at a plan's limit is set out under fair use in the Terms of Service, and what the Community plans ask in return under Community plans.
What you get
Everything in every plan, explained.
Nothing in the survey is held back for a higher price. The free plan gets the same survey, and the same score, as Professional. What a paid plan adds is room: more people, more code, no daily question on Professional, and a place at the front of the queue.
The survey
Core survey. The full survey and its 0–100 score (the Code Assurance Index, an open standard): one score for your whole product, with every grade and every measurement that applies to your code.
Ranked list of what to fix. Ordered by how much each fix is expected to raise your score for the work it takes.
Full git history. The risks that only show in the history: files that keep breaking, knowledge held by one person, passwords left in old commits.
Runtime Evidence. Where your repository says how to start the application, the survey starts it in isolation and watches it run.
Documents, rebuilt at every survey
Four full reports. Written for leadership, engineering, security and audit, ready to download as PDFs.
Architecture map. The parts of your product and how they depend on each other, drawn from the code (C4 model).
Library and licence list. Every library your product uses, with its licence (CycloneDX SBOM).
System overview. What the codebase is, and the stages it has gone through.
Changelog drafts. Written from the actual history, ready for your release notes.
Findings to import. Every finding as SARIF and CSV, labelled with the standard list of software weaknesses (CWE).
Between and after surveys
Self-scheduled cadence. You choose when surveys run: every sprint, weekly, monthly or quarterly, on your team's calendar. You can also run an extra survey whenever you need one, before a release, a hand-over or a due diligence.
Daily Security Watch. A daily check for newly published vulnerabilities in the libraries you use, so you hear the same day.
Portfolio. All your products in one view, weighted by size.
Signed evidence package. Signed, so anyone you share it with can check that it is genuine and unchanged.
How much code each plan covers
Line-scans. One line of code read in one survey. A 250,000-line codebase surveyed every week uses 1,000,000 line-scans a month. The Enterprise card counts the same unit per year and calls it LoC-scans.
Fair use. Each plan covers a number of line-scans a month, shown on its card. Community free pauses scans when it reaches that number. Community unlimited and Professional keep scanning up to one and a half times the number, with a notice at every step, and then pause until the next month. The price never goes up, and the daily security watch keeps running.
VIP queue. On the paid plans your surveys are picked up first: when the scan servers are busy, a survey you start goes ahead of free-plan surveys waiting for the same kind of work. A survey that is already running is never interrupted, and every plan's daily security watch and compliance scans keep their own place in line.
The daily noise question
Members answer one noise question a day. On the Community plans, the people who lead engineering on your team get one question a day about a finding in a public open-source project, and say whether it is a real problem. Your answers help Watchdog report fewer false alarms in every survey, including yours. The questions never come from any customer's private code. Up to 15 can wait, so a few busy days are fine. If fewer than three in ten are answered over 30 days, scans pause until you catch up.
No contribution asked. Professional and Enterprise ask for no daily question.
Your team and its coding agents
1 account, Unlimited accounts. Community free is for one person, with one account. The other plans have as many accounts as your team needs. Keys for coding agents never count as accounts.
Enterprise SSO. Single sign-on: your team signs in through your company's own identity provider.
Agent-fix loop. Hand the findings to your coding agent, and the next survey confirms whether each fix worked.
For the largest codebases
Enterprise covers the most code, and can run inside your own network.
Enterprise includes everything in Professional, for any number of people and with no contribution asked. It is sold as a yearly licence sized by how many line-scans you need in a year, up to an unlimited licence; the sizes and their fixed yearly prices are on the Enterprise card above. If required, it runs on your own machines, with your own language model and your own package sources, so your code never leaves your network. Installed that way, it checks its licence without contacting us: each licence is a hard limit per licence year (the unlimited licence has none), and you are warned when a month runs past a twelfth of it.
Your own package sources (registries). Some measurements need the survey to build your code, and a build downloads the libraries your code uses. Our hosted service downloads only from a fixed, reviewed list of public sources. So a project that gets its libraries from inside your company, for example from Nexus, Artifactory or JFrog, cannot be built there, and the survey says which measurements it had to leave out. On your own machines, you add your internal sources to that list, so those builds work and those measurements are made.
