Stepsize AI
Editor-first technical debt tracking with AI-generated reports.
About
Stepsize is an editor-first issue tracker for managing technical debt directly from the codebase. Engineers create, prioritize, and resolve code issues from VS Code or JetBrains without context switching, with each issue linked to the exact code it concerns.
It synchronizes with Jira and Linear so debt tracking stays aligned with sprint planning, and its dashboards visualize codebase health and debt trends. The company also launched AI-generated product development reports that summarize engineering activity. Pricing starts with a free plan and paid tiers from around $12 to $19 per user per month.
