How to Switch from Codiga to CodeFactor
The migration, step by step
- 1Prepare
Audit how you actually use it
List the Codiga features your team touches weekly. Most teams use 20% of features for 80% of the work — those are the only ones the free alternative must cover.
- 2Prepare
Export your data first
Before anything else, export everything from Codiga. Keep the export in its original format plus any open standard offered (CSV, JSON, SVG, Markdown). Do not cancel yet.
- 3Pilot
Set up the free alternative
Install or open CodeFactor and recreate one small, real project from scratch — not a toy file. This surfaces gaps while switching is still cheap.
- 4Pilot
Run a two-week pilot in parallel
Do live work in CodeFactor while keeping Codiga read-only. Note every friction point; most disappear after the first week as muscle memory adjusts.
- 5Migrate
Migrate your assets
Move your exported files into CodeFactor. Where direct import is unsupported, use the open-standard export (CSV/SVG/Markdown) or a one-time conversion — then keep the originals archived.
- 6Cut the cost
Cut the subscription
Cancel Codiga at the end of the billing cycle (avoid losing access mid-cycle). Check the cancellation date against your renewal to dodge the next price increase.
