Engineering Metrics Comparison

Projcity vs Code Climate Velocity

Velocity requires a demo, runs $700 or more per user per year at enterprise scale, and has no developer archetypes. Projcity is $10 per active user, signs up in minutes, and tells you who your Builders and Reviewers are.

Why Teams Choose Projcity Instead of Velocity

Velocity is a solid choice for large engineering organizations with enterprise budgets and Jira-centric stacks. If you want to start today without a sales cycle and get deeper individual developer insights, Projcity is the better fit.

No enterprise contract, no custom quote

Code Climate Velocity requires a demo before you can see a price. Real-world contracts run $700 or more per user per year. Projcity is $10 per active user per month. You sign up, connect GitHub, and see your first metrics the same day.

Dynamic Archetypes that Velocity does not have

Velocity shows you individual PR and commit metrics. Projcity takes that same data and tells you what kind of engineer each person actually is: Builder, Reviewer, Architect, Bug Fixer, or Collaborator. The archetype updates as the work changes, giving every 1-on-1 a sharper starting point.

Burnout detection built in, not bolted on

Velocity can flag developers pushing code after 8pm or logging more than 4.5 coding days per week. Projcity tracks the same signals but surfaces them as dedicated burnout indicators alongside delivery and quality metrics, so they are never buried in a secondary chart.

Native Shortcut integration

Velocity supports GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Jira but not Shortcut. If your team tracks work in Shortcut, Projcity is the only engineering metrics platform that connects natively. Story points, cycle times, and velocity all flow in alongside your code metrics.
