description: >-
  FinOps view of Codacy spend. Codacy bills on a per-developer (per-seat)
  subscription model rather than per-API-call. Cost is driven by the number of
  unique Git contributors committing to private repositories added to Codacy,
  the chosen plan (Developer free, Team, or Business), and the monthly vs.
  annual billing term. Open-source projects are free.
notes: >-
  Per-seat rates are subject to change; verify against the Codacy pricing page
  during reconciliation. The Codacy API itself is included with a subscription
  and is not separately metered beyond rate limits.
