Embold plans & pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Billing | Notes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open Source STALE · 2026-06-18 | $0 | — | Flat monthly | Free for all open-source projects. Unlimited public repository analysis. Plan structure per third-party aggregators; official page unreachable (502). The page this plan cites returned 404 when re-checked on 2026-09-10 from two vantages — a datacenter connection and a residential one, so bot-blocking is not being mistaken for a dead page. The figure stands as last read; re-sourcing it needs a live page, not a rule. | embold.io |
| Cloud Free STALE · 2026-06-18 | $0 | — | Flat monthly | 5 seats/users, 5 scans per month, up to 50,000 LOC for private repositories. No credit card required. Per third-party aggregators; official page unreachable (502). The page this plan cites returned 404 when re-checked on 2026-09-10 from two vantages — a datacenter connection and a residential one, so bot-blocking is not being mistaken for a dead page. The figure stands as last read; re-sourcing it needs a live page, not a rule. | embold.io |
| Cloud Premium STALE · 2026-06-18 | not priced monthly | — | Flat monthly | 10 users, 100k LOC, unlimited scans. Additional users and LOC as add-ons. Official embold.io/pricing returned 502 on 2026-06-18; aggregators cite a starting price of ~$299/month but this could not be verified on any official source, so no monthly price is recorded. Contact Embold for current price.

| On-Premise STALE · 2026-09-26 | not priced monthly | — | Custom / quote | Self-hosted deployment for larger organizations. Custom pricing, contact sales. Supports C, C++, C#, Java, Python, JavaScript and more. | embold.io |
Last verified 2026-09-26. STALE marks a plan we have not re-checked at its source in over 30 days. Every plan above is marked — we flag rather than silently retain. embold.io/pricing returned HTTP 502 (unreachable) on 2026-06-18 — official prices could not be verified. Plan structure (Open Source free; Cloud Free 5 users/5 scans/up to 50k LOC; Cloud Premium 10 users/100k LOC; On-Premise quote) confirmed via G2/SaaSworthy (last updated June 2025). Aggregators cite a starting price of ~$299/mo, but because a blank beats a guess, the Cloud Premium monthly price is left blank because no official source confirms it. Compliance unverified (nothing recorded). Lower confidence vendor. The page this record cites as its source (https://embold.io/pricing/) is gone: on 2026-09-11 it returned 404, both from a residential connection and from a datacenter on another continent — so the page is gone rather than withheld from one asker. Nothing else in this record can stand in for it, so re-sourcing needs a live page read; the figure stands as last read.

Dead citation disclosed, price unchanged. https://embold.io/pricing/ was read twice on 2026-09-11: it returned 404 from a residential connection and returned 404 from a datacenter on another continent. One reading is not evidence — 27 pages this sweep called gone answered the second machine perfectly well — so only the ones both vantages agree on are written down. The record now says the link is a dead end. No figure changed: a price read on a day was read on that day, and the page going away later does not unread it.

This standing as a plaque
Embold currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 4 of 5 · Code Quality. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Embold moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
