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:

- Activity Feeds- Up-to-the-minute information so you can see when and how code changes.

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