| Fact | GitHub CodeQL | Qodana |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | CodeQL is a language and toolchain for code analysis that treats code as data. | Qodana runs static code analysis from the IDE through CI to detect code smells, duplicates, complexity, vulnerabilities, and license issues. |
CodeQL is for developers and security teams who want query-based code analysis in an IDE, CLI, or CI workflow. Its availability depends on supported languages, operating systems, and repository eligibility.
Qodana suits development teams that want code analysis and pipeline checks across supported IDEs and CI systems. Organizations that need the service inside their own infrastructure can consider Self-Hosted.
