What Sonar Pro Pro is good for
Sonar Pro Pro is tuned toward coding work. It is a reasonable candidate for code generation, review, debugging and repository-scale tasks, especially when paired with a retrieval layer. At $13.59 per million input tokens, it sits in the mid-range of the index, and the 200,000-token context window is enough for large files and multi-file diffs.
