Qlty Cloud vs Steep

Qlty Cloud analyzes code quality and coverage, then gives feedback on pull requests. Its automated reviews can return quality feedback and pass-fail statuses, with customizable analysis and triage rules. Analysis covers linting, defects, formatting, duplication, security, and complexity. Coverage features include gates, diff coverage, comments on GitHub pull requests, and separate tags for unit and integration suites. Qlty integrates with GitHub through a GitHub App and supports GitHub Actions and CircleCI Orb for coverage workflows. It advertises more than 70 linters, formatters, and security analyzers, and says cloud analysis requires no CI setup. The free plan includes 1,000 analysis minutes and 100 AI autofixes per month, with unlimited contributors and repositories. Pro costs $20 a month and includes 20,000 analysis minutes and 5,000 AI autofixes per month. Qlty says AI explanations and fixes for business services require opt-in, and that it does not store repository clones. Analysis runs in sandboxed AWS Fargate containers that are destroyed afterward.
