Snyk Code places third because it puts SAST in the same subscription as dependency, container and infrastructure-as-code scanning, and both the free and Team plans are self-serve. The free plan covers all four scanners, with Snyk Code limited to 100 tests and 5 projects a month, which is enough to try it on a real repository. Team starts at $25 a month, is aimed at up to 10 developers, raises Snyk Code to 1,000 tests a month across 100 projects, and adds Jira integration and next-business-day support. Snyk counts only developers who committed to a monitored private repository in the last 90 days, so occasional contributors do not inflate the bill. The limits are clear: test caps apply per product, the Team plan tops out at 10 developers, and newer capabilities such as AI pentesting and coding-agent security sit behind an Enterprise Platform Subscription that bills credits at $1 each.
