- The site says Perch Cloud scans each pull request in its own container and puts the cost at about 50¢ per pull request.
Field notes
Rules can target a whole project, matching files, or individual methods, with examples ranging from hard-coded keys to comment accuracy. The displayed agent workflow turns a correction into a saved rule, checks code before and after an edit, and shows five discount tests passing. The site presents pull-request scans as a separate Cloud workflow, with an advertised cost of about 50¢ per scan.
