Asked before you assess.
Straight answers about TechieDebt scores, privacy, and what the assessment covers. Pull a card to read it.
What is TechieDebt?
TechieDebt is a product that assesses the software repositories you connect and returns one combined technology-debt score from 1 to 10, where lower is better. After a paid assessment, your score can appear on the public Developers leaderboard under a project name you choose.
What does the TechieDebt score measure?
The score consolidates four perspectives: whether your tools look up to date (dependencies), whether technologies are still going strong (maintenance), whether versions work well together (compatibility), and whether the project looks organised (structure). It is a technology-health signal, not a security audit.
Does TechieDebt find security vulnerabilities?
No. TechieDebt does not claim to detect security vulnerabilities or replace a security scanner. It focuses on technology-debt signals such as dependency freshness, maintenance, compatibility, and structure.
Which repositories can TechieDebt assess?
You can connect projects from major hosts such as GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. Assessments cover common stacks including JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, Ruby, Java/Kotlin, .NET, PHP, Dart/Flutter, Swift, Elixir, Scala, and C/C++.
How much does a TechieDebt assessment cost?
During launch week, one assessment is free (Terms & Conditions apply). After that, the listed price is $7 or ₹499 by region. Each assessment produces one combined score. You can reassess later with a new purchase. A free retry is included if the assessment fails on our side.
Is my repository name public on the leaderboard?
No. After a paid assessment you choose which project name is shown publicly. Repository names stay private.
