Baz vs Sonar (2026)
The two deepest documented cards in the code review cluster, 11.5 and 12 of 14, and they intervene at opposite ends of the work.
Sonar is the verification layer, a standard for automated review that checks what was written, with a free tier and published cloud plans. Baz reviews, governs and secures across the lifecycle, and its distinguishing piece is Planner, a pre code gateway catching risky plans before code is written, plus a Figma and Jira specification validator, free trial through the GitHub Marketplace. Catching a bad plan is cheaper than catching the bug it produces, but only Sonar has the incumbency your build pipeline probably already assumes.
Choose Baz if
- Reviewing the plan before code exists is a genuinely earlier intervention than review.
- Validating implementations against Figma designs and Jira tickets closes a gap nobody else covers.
- Agent written code is arriving faster than humans can review it, and governance is the answer.
Choose Sonar if
- Documented coverage is marginally deeper and Sonar is already the standard in your pipeline.
- A free tier and published pricing make this adoptable without a purchase decision.
- Verification of what was actually written is the control you trust most.
