What Sourcery is

Sourcery automates AI code reviews and security checks for software teams. It reviews pull requests within minutes, posting a summary, comments, and suggested fixes; users can apply suggested changes and commit them to the pull request. Security scans cover committed secrets, static-analysis vulnerabilities, infrastructure-as-code misconfigurations, dependencies, and licenses. Open Source and Pro include security scans twice a week, while Team adds nightly scans. Sourcery works with GitHub, GitLab, GitHub Enterprise Server, and self-hosted GitLab, and its editor extension supports VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and JetBrains. Plans range from free Open Source to Pro at $12 a month billed annually ($15 / developer / month billed monthly) and Team at $24 a month billed annually ($30 / developer / month billed monthly). A 14-day Team-feature trial is available to the organization after installation without a credit card. Sourcery says it does not keep customer code after reviews or use it to train models. Team supports bring-your-own LLM; self-hosted Sourcery is available through sales.
