Semgrep ranks second because it is the strongest security-first analyzer that a team can start using without a sales call. The free plan is unusually generous: up to 10 contributors and 10 repositories, cross-file analysis with Pro rules, 60 AI credits for triage and fixes, and CI/CD deployment through Semgrep's own infrastructure, with GitHub and GitLab sign-in. Teams costs $30 per contributor per month for Code (SAST), with Supply Chain at another $30 and Secrets at $15, and adds SSO and 20 AI credits per developer each month. That modular pricing is the main tradeoff: a team that wants SAST, SCA and secrets pays $75 per contributor, more than broader platforms. Semgrep also focuses on security findings rather than maintainability metrics like duplication, so teams that want code health dashboards may pair it with a quality tool. Enterprise adds on-prem SCM support, custom CI integrations, unlimited repositories and dedicated infrastructure.
