Snyk Code
What it is: AI-powered security scanning in your IDE. Real-time vulnerability detection. Fix suggestions as you code.
What It Does Best
Security in real-time. Flags vulnerabilities as you type. SQL injection, XSS, hardcoded secrets. Before commit, not after deploy.
AI-powered fixes. Doesn't just say "SQL injection risk." Shows exactly how to fix it securely. Learn while you code.
Low false positives. ML trained on billions of lines. Understands context. Fewer pointless warnings than traditional SAST tools.
Pricing
Free: Individual developers, limited scans
Team: $52/developer/month
Enterprise: Custom pricing (SSO, compliance)
When to Use It
✅ Building security-critical applications
✅ Compliance requirements (OWASP, PCI-DSS)
✅ Want to learn secure coding patterns
✅ Catch vulnerabilities before code review
When NOT to Use It
❌ Internal tools with no sensitive data
❌ Already have comprehensive security scanning
❌ Budget constrained (expensive for teams)
Bottom line: Security co-pilot. Catches vulnerabilities when they're cheapest to fix: while writing code. Worth it for anything user-facing.
