Sonar drops Data Center plan, adds agentic AI to Enterprise tier
What happened
Between the Sep 28, 2026 and Oct 5, 2026 captures of Sonar's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Enterprise adds Agentic capabilities (Sonar Vortex, Remediation Agent, Hunter Agent; extra subscription); language support rises Developer 34→37, Enterprise 40→48; Data Center plan card and comparison-table column removed; its autoscaling and high-performance bullets now listed on Enterprise (Server editions: Developer + Enterprise only). Pulse files it as a packaging change (plan removed, feature added).
It lands 61 days after Sonar's previous change, "Sonar: SonarQube Server Developer plan price hidden (was $750/yr)" (Aug 4, 2026). Sonar has been tracked since 2026-04-15.
In the same window Snyk and JFrog also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
“Sonarsource” is the name Sonar’s pricing page uses; Pulse files the change under Sonar, the company it tracks.
