The price of SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) is reasonable for my company, but it's actually per organizational infrastructure. We pay about 1.2 million rand in terms of South African rands per year. They always offer around a two-year contract, but we always take a one-year contract because it's expensive. There are no additional costs apart from the license cost. That's the whole cost of enterprise SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube).

I would rate the pricing for SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) as an 8, where 1 is very cheap and 10 is very expensive, because Coverity is very expensive, and while SonarQube is not cheap, it is still less expensive than Coverity. Since there are not many players in this space with FDA regulation approvals, I find the pricing justifiable.
From my experience, SonarQube Cloud (formerly SonarCloud) is very expensive for small companies. It would be a great improvement if the price for smaller companies were reduced, as I do not have the financial capability to use it in my own company.
Previously, the pricing was 17,000 euros for five million lines analyzed. However, they now charge $15,000 per one million lines, significantly increasing the cost.
I would rate the price an eight out of ten because it's reasonable. While not extremely cheap, it aligns well with market standards and offers good value. It's an all-inclusive package where you pay a fixed price.
I can't say what it costs off the top of my head, but I believe the license is based on the number of users and services. Generally, it's considered inexpensive. The price is also based on the lines of code scanned. We use another solution instead of SonarCloud to scan third-party software. One thing is unclear. If you want to use SonarCloud for third-party software, you will reuse it for more services, but you only need to scan the latest version. You only need to scan once to cover all services that you're developing to minimize the cost of the scans. It doesn't make sense to redo the same scan for the third-party library version, which is used by many services. You only need to do it once.
The price of SonarCloud is not expensive, it goes by the lines of code. 1 million lines per code are approximately 4,000 USD per year. If you need 2 million lines of code you would double the annual cost.

The price of SonarCloud could be less expensive. We are using the community version and the price should be more reasonable. We have purchased a license for 2 million lines of code. However, we have 10 million lines of code but it would be too costly for us to have a license for all the amount.

From what I understand, SonarQube Cloud is roughly equivalent in cost to Veracode, maybe a little cheaper.

I rate the pricing a five out of ten. It has an expensive on-premise version and a community version as well.
I am using the free version of the solution.

The pricing is very good.
