The solution's price depends on the number of licenses needed and the source code for the project. A project with a few million or more lines of source code will require multiple licenses. For our use cases, the costs are typically above $100,000 per year. Both the solution and Coverity are pricey.
I'm not sure of the exact pricing. However, I do know it is expensive. The price is maybe a little bit too high. A free tool can do the analysis. However, it can be time-consuming just to develop a tool like that, and the company only buys that since it's reliable. When you want to prove that you make an analysis, you can say, "Okay, we used CodeSonar," and people say, "Okay, now I know that you use a reliable tool." If you do it by yourself, it can be difficult just to prove that your tool is also reliable. People who want to use an easy solution just buy this, even though it can be done manually.
Application security is a significant challenge for software engineers, as well as for security and DevOps professionals. It comprises the measures taken to improve the security of online services and websites against malicious attacks by finding, repairing, and preventing security weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
The application’s pricing is high compared to other tools. I rate its pricing a four out of ten.
Our organization purchased a license to use the solution.

I don't have knowledge on the licensing costs for CodeSonar because that part is handled by the sales team. I'm in the technical team.
Pricing is a bit costly. They should come up with some automated licensing models, depending upon line support or something like that.
