Swarmia helps software engineering teams examine where work is going, spot slowdowns, and respond. It combines information from codebases, issue trackers, AI tools, and HR systems into an organizational model. Teams can track AI tool adoption, activity, costs, and productivity impact; use recurring developer experience surveys with team heatmaps; and automate software development cost capitalization reporting with project or employee breakdowns. It also supports code, issue, DORA, delivery, reliability, and custom metrics. Listed integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear, Azure Boards, Slack, Microsoft Teams, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex. Shortcut and GitHub Issues are marked beta; Asana and ClickUp are marked coming soon. Swarmia says it requests source code access but does not store source code, retaining each commit’s change size per file. The free plan is for companies with fewer than 10 software developers. Paid per-developer plans are listed from $5 a month billed annually to $55 a month billed annually, depending on the plan.
