# Creating organization manually

To understand more about the advantages of binding your SonarQube Cloud organization with a DevOps platform, see [binding-with-dop](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/about-sonarqube-cloud-solution/resources-structure/binding-with-dop "mention").

{% 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](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/administering-sonarcloud/managing-subscription/subscription-plans "mention") for more information. If you want a paid plan, select the number of Lines of Code (LOC) you need. See [#loc-based-pricing](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-cloud/managing-subscription/subscription-plans#loc-based-pricing "mention") for more details.
