# GitHub Code Quality Targets Maintainability as AI-Generated Code Increases

**[InfoQ](https://daily.dev/sources/infoq)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

GitHub Code Quality is now generally available on GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Team, combining CodeQL static analysis with AI-assisted detection of maintainability and reliability issues. Copilot Autofix suggests fixes directly in pull requests. During its public preview since October 2025, over 10,000 enterprises used the product. The GA release adds org-wide enablement, maintainability/reliability dashboards, test coverage metrics, and quality gate rulesets. GitHub reports 67.3% of findings in its own engineering org are resolved before PRs are merged. Pricing is $10 per active committer per month, with additional usage-based charges for AI-assisted detection. The piece also covers similar offerings from GitLab (Duo Code Review at $0.25 per agentic review) and Atlassian (Rovo Dev, which reportedly cut PR cycle time by 30.8% internally).

## Questions this post answers

### How much does GitHub Code Quality cost per user?

GitHub Code Quality is priced at $10 per active committer per month. An active committer is counted once per organization when they have pushed to an enabled repository in the previous 90 days. AI-assisted detection and Copilot Autofix carry additional usage-based charges, while deterministic CodeQL scans consume GitHub Actions compute on GitHub-hosted or self-hosted runners.

_Teams evaluating whether GitHub Code Quality fits their budget can track pricing changes and community reactions on daily.dev._

### What percentage of GitHub Code Quality findings get resolved before a PR is merged?

67.3% of findings raised by GitHub Code Quality in GitHub's own engineering organization are resolved before pull requests are merged. GitHub presents this as an early internal measure rather than a guarantee of quality, and notes that the decision to accept a suggested fix always remains with developers.

_Engineering teams benchmarking AI code review tools against their own merge workflows discuss real-world results on daily.dev._

### What is GitLab Duo Code Review pricing compared to GitHub Code Quality?

GitLab Duo Code Review charges a flat $0.25 per agentic review, making cost independent of change size. GitHub Code Quality charges $10 per active committer per month plus usage-based fees for AI-assisted detection. GitLab's model is available on GitLab.com, Dedicated, and supported self-managed installations, while GitHub Code Quality is limited to Enterprise Cloud and Team plans.

_Developers deciding between GitHub and GitLab for AI-assisted code review find ongoing comparisons on daily.dev._
