Snyk scans code, open-source dependencies, containers and infrastructure-as-code for security vulnerabilities, then suggests fixes inline in your editor. Its AI DeepCode engine understands code logic rather than just matching patterns.
Best for
Development teams who need to find and fix security vulnerabilities in their code pipeline.
Pricing
Ongoing free tier available, no trial required. Paid plans start at $25/mo.
Pros
- Scans code, dependencies, containers, and infrastructure-as-code — broader coverage than a single-purpose linter
- DeepCode engine understands code logic rather than just pattern-matching known vulnerabilities
- Suggests fixes inline in the editor, not just a separate report to act on later
Cons
- No ongoing free tier for full team-scale scanning
- Like any automated scanner, still benefits from human security review for critical systems

Frequently asked questions
Does Snyk only scan my own code, or also dependencies?
Both — it scans your code, open-source dependencies, containers, and infrastructure-as-code for vulnerabilities, which is broader than tools that only check first-party code.
