Snyk is a developer-first security platform for open source, container, IaC, and code scanning. See pricing plans, features, pros, cons, and FAQs.
Snyk (pronounced 'sneak') is a developer-first security platform founded in 2015 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. It focuses on finding and fixing security issues where code is actually written, rather than scanning finished applications after the fact.
The platform covers four core areas: open source dependency scanning (software composition analysis), static application security testing of custom code, container image scanning, and infrastructure as code scanning. More recently, Snyk has extended into validating AI-generated code and governing AI coding agents as more production code is written by AI tools.
Snyk plugs into IDEs, pull requests, and CI/CD pipelines so vulnerabilities surface before code merges, and it automatically suggests or opens fix pull requests for known issues in open source packages.
Its risk-based prioritization engine scores issues by real-world exploitability and reachability rather than raw CVSS score, which reduces alert fatigue for engineering teams. Enterprise features include single sign-on, role-based access control, custom policies, and unified reporting across the Open Source, Code, Container, and IaC products.
Snyk prices per 'contributing developer' — anyone who has committed code to a monitored private repository in the trailing 90 days — rather than per seat. The Free plan is 0 US dollars and covers a limited number of projects and monthly tests.
Paid tiers start with Team at 25 US dollars per contributing developer per month (billed with a 5-developer minimum), followed by an Ignite package aimed at sub-50-developer companies at roughly 1,260 US dollars per developer per year, and a custom-quoted Enterprise plan for large organizations that need SSO, advanced governance, and unlimited projects.
Snyk is used by development and security teams to find and fix vulnerabilities in open source dependencies, custom application code, container images, and infrastructure as code before they reach production.
Yes, Snyk offers a Free plan for individual developers and small teams with a limited number of projects and monthly tests per product.
Paid plans start at 25 US dollars per contributing developer per month on the Team tier, with a mid-market Ignite tier and custom-quoted Enterprise pricing for larger organizations.
A contributing developer is anyone who has committed code to a private repository monitored by Snyk within the trailing 90 days, which is the unit Snyk uses to price paid plans.
Yes, Snyk Container scans Docker and other container images and Snyk IaC scans Terraform, Kubernetes, and CloudFormation files for misconfigurations.
Snyk was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, with additional offices in Tel Aviv, London, Ottawa, and Zurich.
Yes, Snyk integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and major CI/CD pipelines to scan code automatically on commits and pull requests.
Snyk can open automated pull requests that upgrade or patch vulnerable open source dependencies to a secure version.
