What is Snyk?
Snyk is an application security platform built for developers, scanning open-source dependencies (Snyk Open Source), custom code (Snyk Code), container images (Snyk Container) and infrastructure-as-code (Snyk IaC) for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. It integrates into IDEs, CI/CD pipelines and Git workflows to surface issues before merge.

Key capabilities
- Scanning coverage: Open-source dependencies, first-party code (SAST), containers and IaC templates.
- Workflow integration: IDE plugins, CLI, Git and CI/CD integrations, and automated fix pull requests.
- Pricing: Free tier with monthly test limits, per-developer Team plan from $25/month, and custom Enterprise plans.
Core areas are software composition analysis (SCA), static application security testing (SAST), container image scanning and IaC scanning, unified on one developer-facing platform.
Shortlist Snyk when the priority is embedding security scanning directly into developer tooling rather than running it as a separate, periodic scan. The free plan covers a limited number of tests per month; the Team plan removes those limits and adds collaboration features, while Enterprise adds SSO, RBAC and custom policies.
Snyk's pricing is charged per contributing developer, so cost scales with how many people commit code, not with scan volume alone; confirm current billing terms, since some contracts are moving to credit-based billing at renewal in 2026.
