Overview

Snyk is a developer-centric application security platform that integrates directly into IDEs, repos, CI/CD, and cloud to continuously scan code, open source packages, containers, and IaC for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. It uses DeepCode AI and a large vulnerability database to provide precise findings, prioritized risk scores, and one-click remediation advice so developers can “build fast and stay secure.

Pricing

Free

Free plan with 200 tests/month per product (Code, Open Source, Container, IaC), limited projects, and core vulnerability scanning.
Good for individual developers, OSS projects, and small teams starting with DevSecOps.

Team

Team plan starts around 98–107 USD per developer per month (examples: 5,850 USD/year for 5 devs, or 535 USD/month for 5 devs).
Adds higher limits, collaboration features, SSO options, and more advanced policy controls, aimed at growing teams.

Business & Enterprise

Business plan is listed around 139 USD per developer per month (e.g., 41,500 USD/year for 25 devs), with Enterprise on custom quotes that can bring total contracts into the 5,000–70,000 USD+ per year range depending on scale.
Higher tiers unlock advanced governance, reporting, on-prem/self‑hosted options for some components, and enterprise integrations/support.

Key Features

Snyk Code (SAST) – AI-powered static code analysis to find vulnerabilities and code smells in proprietary code, with developer-friendly fix suggestions.
Snyk Open Source (SCA) – Scans open source dependencies and licenses, flags known CVEs, and suggests safer versions.
Snyk Container – Scans container images and base images for vulnerabilities, providing alternative images and prioritized remediation paths.
Snyk IaC & cloud – Detects misconfigurations in Terraform, Kubernetes, and other IaC templates; integrates into Git and CI pipelines.
DeepCode AI & risk-based prioritization – AI-backed detectors and risk scoring prioritize exploitable issues and reduce noise.

Best Use Cases

DevSecOps in SaaS and cloud-native teams – Embedding security checks in Git, CI/CD, and IDEs without slowing release cycles.
Open source-heavy applications – Teams with large dependency trees needing continuous SCA and license compliance.
Containerized and Kubernetes environments – Shifting container and image scanning left, before production.
Multi-language, polyglot stacks – Organizations using many languages, frameworks, and package managers.
Scaling security programs – Security teams that want developers to own fixes while maintaining centralized policies and reporting.

Pros

✅ Developer-first experience – Deep IDE, Git, and CI/CD integrations and clear remediation advice make it natural for dev teams.
✅ Broad coverage in one platform – Code, open source, containers, and IaC within a single AI-powered security platform.
✅ Strong free and team tiers – Generous free tier and clear team pricing lower the barrier to starting DevSecOps.
✅ Rich ecosystem & AI capabilities – DeepCode AI, large vuln DB, and many integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jira, and more.

Cons

❌ Can become expensive at scale – Per-developer pricing (≈100–140 USD/month) adds up quickly for large engineering orgs.
❌ Noise and tuning needs – As with most AppSec tools, teams may need time to tune rules and suppress low-priority findings.
❌ Enterprise features behind higher tiers – Some advanced governance, reporting, and support options require Business/Enterprise plans.
