Qodana vs Hyrax

Qodana inspects in CI.
Hyrax fixes in a PR.

Qodana is JetBrains' static analysis engine, bringing IDE inspections into CI with quality gates across many languages. It reports problems; fixes happen back in the IDE. Hyrax finds issues and ships fixes verified against the test suite.

The difference

Same surface area. Hyrax does the work.

Qodana
  • JetBrains IDE inspections brought into CI
  • Quality gates that fail the build on violations
  • Reports problems — fixes happen back in the IDE
  • Licensed per developer, strongest in the JetBrains stack
Hyrax
  • Audits across six categories, then executes fixes
  • 13-step verification with baseline tests before every fix
  • Editor-agnostic — runs at the repository level
  • Usage-based pricing, compute credits included, no per-seat fees

The edge Qodana misses

A fix isn't done until it's verified.

Qodana stops at a suggestion or a scoped patch. Every Hyrax fix runs a 13-step verification before it can merge. Baseline tests are established first, the fix is applied, and the full pipeline confirms nothing else broke. Nothing ships on trust.

FAQ

Questions about switching from Qodana.

You can run both. Qodana brings JetBrains inspections into CI. Hyrax fixes the issues those inspections surface, with verification, so they don't queue up for the next sprint.

No. Qodana is strongest inside the JetBrains ecosystem. Hyrax is editor-agnostic — it works at the repository level and the HYRAX.md context file is read by any IDE assistant.

Yes. Hyrax includes SAST-grade static analysis across 19 languages, then goes further by fixing issues autonomously through 13-step verification.
