Code Climate vs StyleCI: What are the differences?

Developers describe Code Climate as "Automated Ruby Code Review". After each Git push, Code Climate analyzes your code for complexity, duplication, and common smells to determine changes in quality and surface technical debt hotspots. On the other hand, StyleCI is detailed as "The PHP Coding Style Continuous Integration Service". StyleCI automatically analyses all of your pull requests and will display a build status within GitHub before you merge.

Code Climate and StyleCI belong to "Code Review" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Code Climate are:

  • Automated Git Updates- Nothing to install. Code Climate runs everytime you push a new commit.
  • Activity Feeds- Up-to-the-minute information so you can see when and how code changes.
  • Instant Notifications- Major security and quality changes pushed to where you work: email, Campfire, HipChat, and RSS feeds.

On the other hand, StyleCI provides the following key features:

  • Fix PSR-1, PSR-2, PSR-5, Symfony and more.
  • We watch all of your pull requests and automatically analyse them.
  • Open Source

"Auto sync with Github" is the primary reason why developers consider Code Climate over the competitors, whereas "Keeps code style consistent adheres to strict standard" was stated as the key factor in picking StyleCI.

StackShare, Typeform, and thoughtbot are some of the popular companies that use Code Climate, whereas StyleCI is used by Swat.io, Leroy Merlin Brasil, and Simulise. Code Climate has a broader approval, being mentioned in 144 company stacks & 48 developers stacks; compared to StyleCI, which is listed in 6 company stacks and 3 developer stacks.
