# SonarQube Server editions

All editions are licensed per instance per year based on [Lines of Code (LOC)](/sonarqube-server/2026.2/server-update-and-maintenance/monitoring/lines-of-code.md). You pay for a LOC capacity at the instance level.

## Which edition to choose

* Developer Edition:
  * For: Small teams / business units running a single instance.
  * Focus: Adds branch/PR analysis, more languages, and stronger security on top of SonarQube Community Build.
* Enterprise Edition:
  * For: Larger organizations with many teams and projects.
  * Focus: Centralized governance, portfolios, compliance/security reporting, and enterprise DevOps/IdP integrations.
* Data Center Edition:
  * For: Very large/mission-critical deployments needing High Availability (HA) and horizontal scale.
  * Focus: High availability, redundancy, autoscaling in Kubernetes, and resilience under heavy load.
