33 Alternatives for quality
bundler-audit
Audit Gemfile.lock for gems with security vulnerabilities reported in Ruby Advisory Database.
DatabaseConsistency
The tool to avoid various issues due to inconsistencies and inefficiencies between a database schema and application models.
dawnscanner
A static analysis security scanner for ruby written web applications. It supports Sinatra, Padrino and Ruby on Rails frameworks.
Railroader
An open source static analysis security vulnerability scanner for Ruby on Rails applications.
Traceroute
A Rake task gem that helps you find the unused routes and controller actions for your Rails 3+ app.
29 Multi-Language Tools
ApplicationInspector
Creates reports of over 400 rule patterns for feature detection (e.g. the use of cryptography or version control in apps).
ast-grep
ast-grep is a powerful tool designed for managing code at scale using Abstract Syntax Trees (AST). Think of it as a hybrid of grep, eslint, and codemod, with the ability to search, lint, and rewrite code based on its structure rather than plain text. It supports multiple languages and is designed to be extensible, allowing you to register custom languages.
autocorrect
A linter and formatter to help you to improve copywriting, correct spaces, words, punctuations between CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean).
Bearer
Open-Source static code analysis tool to discover, filter and prioritize security risks and vulnerabilities leading to sensitive data exposures (PII, PHI, PD). Highly configurable and easily extensible, built for security and engineering teams.
Betterscan CE
Checks your code and infra (various Git repositories supported, cloud stacks, CLI, Web Interface platform, integrationss available) for security and quality issues. Code Scanning/SAST/Linting using many tools/Scanners deduplicated with One Report (AI optional).
BlockWatch
A language-agnostic linter that keeps code, documentation, and configuration in sync and enforces strict formatting and validation rules.
Corgea
Corgea is an AI-powered SAST scanner that helps developers find and fix insecure code. It finds business logic flaws, broken authentication, API vulnerabilities, and more with little false positives. Additionally, it automatically writes security fixes for them to approve. Corgea integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, IDEs and CLI. It is free to try it.
emerge
Emerge is a source code and dependency visualizer that can be used to gather insights about source code structure, metrics, dependencies and complexity of software projects. After scanning the source code of a project it provides you an interactive web interface to explore and analyze your project by using graph structures.
Hound CI
Comments on style violations in GitHub pull requests. Supports Coffeescript, Go, HAML, JavaScript, Ruby, SCSS and Swift.
Joern
Joern is a platform for analyzing source code, bytecode, and binary executables. It generates code property graphs (CPGs), a graph representation of code for cross-language code analysis. Code property graphs are stored in a custom graph database. This allows code to be mined using search queries formulated in a Scala-based domain-specific query language. Joern is developed with the goal of providing a useful tool for vulnerability discovery and research in static program analysis.
jscpd
Copy/paste detector for programming source code. Finds duplicated blocks in 200+ file formats — JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C#, C/C++, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby and more — using token-based detection. Supports configurable thresholds and ignore patterns, git blame integration, and reporters for console, HTML, JSON, Markdown, SARIF and badges. Runs via CLI, in CI pipelines, or as a library; bundled by MegaLinter and Codacy.
lizard
Lizard is an extensible Cyclomatic Complexity Analyzer for many programming languages including C/C++ (doesn't require all the header files or Java imports). It also does copy-paste detection (code clone detection/code duplicate detection) and many other forms of static code analysis. Counts lines of code without comments, CCN (cyclomatic complexity number), token count of functions, parameter count of functions.
Mega-Linter
Mega-Linter can handle any type of project thanks to its 70+ embedded Linters, its advanced reporting, runnable on any CI system or locally, with assisted installation and configuration, able to apply formatting and fixes
Repowise
Deterministic, zero-LLM code-health analysis. Scores every file 1-10 for defect risk, maintainability, and performance from 25 markers: McCabe complexity, LCOM4 cohesion, god classes, Rabin-Karp clone detection, change entropy, and untested hotspots. Adds a dependency graph, dead-code detection, git-history signals (churn, ownership, co-change), and concrete graph-aware refactoring plans. Ships as a CLI, an MCP server, and a VS Code extension across 15 languages.
sem
Semantic version control CLI that provides entity-level diffs, blame, and impact analysis on top of git. Uses tree-sitter to parse 26 languages and builds a cross-file dependency graph with structural hashing. Commands include sem diff, sem blame, sem graph, and sem impact for blast-radius analysis of code changes.
ShiftLeft Scan
Scan is a free open-source DevSecOps platform for detecting security issues in source code and dependencies. It supports a broad range of languages and CI/CD pipelines. Note: ShiftLeft rebranded to Qwiet AI in 2023, which was subsequently acquired by Harness in September 2025. This open-source project is no longer maintained.
SonarQube for IDE
SonarQube for IDE (formerly SonarLint) is a free IDE extension available for IntelliJ, VS Code, Visual Studio, and Eclipse, to find and fix coding issues in real-time, flagging issues as you code, just like a spell-checker. More than a linter, it also delivers rich contextual guidance to help developers understand why there is an issue, assess the risk, and educate them on how to fix it.
trivy
A Simple and Comprehensive Vulnerability Scanner for Containers and other Artifacts, Suitable for CI. Trivy detects vulnerabilities of OS packages (Alpine, RHEL, CentOS, etc.) and application dependencies (Bundler, Composer, npm, yarn, etc.). Checks containers and filesystems.
weave
Entity-level semantic merge driver for git. Resolves false conflicts that line-based merge produces when independent changes touch the same file. Parses functions and classes via tree-sitter, matches by name, and merges at the entity level. Benchmarked at 100% clean merges vs git's 48% on a 31-scenario suite.
