# Creating organization manually

To understand more about the advantages of binding your SonarQube Cloud organization with a DevOps platform, see [Binding with the DevOps platform](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/about-sonarqube-cloud-solution/resources-structure/binding-with-dop.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
In SonarQube Cloud, each organization is assigned a subscription plan. Before creating your organization, choose the subscription plan suited to your needs, see [Subscription plans](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-subscription/subscription-plans.md) for more information. If you want a paid plan, select the number of Lines of Code (LOC) you need. See [Subscription plans](/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-subscription/subscription-plans.md#loc-based-pricing) for more details.
{% endhint %}
