Axiomo vs Codacy

Code quality scanning vs PR governance and risk analysis.

TL;DR

Codacy is a code quality platform - it scans for bugs, security issues, code smells, and enforces style rules across your codebase. Axiomo focuses on the PR itself - who's making changes, what's at risk, which files need attention, and whether the change complies with your governance policies.
