What is Mend.io?
Mend.io began as WhiteSource, one of the original software composition analysis (SCA) vendors, founded in 2011, and rebranded to Mend.io in 2022. The platform now spans Mend AppSec (SCA, SAST, container scanning), Mend Renovate (automated dependency updates), and Mend AI (red-teaming, runtime guardrails, and prompt hardening for AI-generated code and LLM applications). Pricing is public and per-developer: up to $1,000/dev/year for AppSec, $300/dev/year for AI, and $250/dev/year for Renovate Enterprise, alongside free Mend Bolt tools.

Key capabilities
- Mend AppSec: SCA, SAST, and container scanning for proprietary code and open-source dependencies.
- Mend Renovate: Automated dependency-update pull requests, with a free open-source tier.
- Mend AI: Red-teaming, runtime guardrails, and prompt hardening for AI-generated code and LLM applications.
Because pricing is published per developer, a pilot should confirm whether the per-dev cost model fits your team size better than usage- or asset-based competitors, and whether Mend AI is mature enough for your AI/LLM footprint today.
