Sonar strips AI-code autodetection from Developer plan feature list
What happened
Between the Nov 2, 2026 and Nov 9, 2026 captures of Sonar's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Developer plan's pricing card dropped the "Autodetect AI-generated code" capability from its feature list; only 40 languages & frameworks, AI Code Assurance, Advanced bug detection, Secrets detection, and Architecture management remain. Pulse files it as a product change (feature removed) with a downward direction.
It lands 21 days after Sonar's previous change, "Sonar Developer Edition adds PostgreSQL, Azure Pipelines, Jupyter" (Oct 19, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Sonar drops Data Center plan, adds agentic AI to Enterprise tier" (Oct 5, 2026). Sonar has been tracked since 2026-04-15.
In the same window JFrog and Snyk 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.
