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.

SnykApplication SecurityDeveloper-first security: SAST, SCA, container and IaC scanning
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.
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.
