Our take
Pick Codacy if you're on a team who want one hosted quality + security score without standing up SonarQube. Pick Qlty if you're on a team leaving CodeClimate Quality who still want a $0 cloud floor. Skip Codacy if you're repos that only need a coverage % (Coveralls / Codecov) or a dependency CVE inbox (Snyk). Skip Qlty if you're orgs that need a Code Health bubble map (CodeScene) or JetBrains inspections in CI
