Pricing
FreemiumAccuKnox uses a usage-based pricing model where 1 CSPM unit covers 5 CSPM assets. A free trial is available without a credit card required. Paid plans are custom-priced based on cloud workload footprint, deployment model (public cloud, private cloud, on-premises), and selected platform modules. No published pricing tiers are listed on the AccuKnox website. Contact AccuKnox through accuknox.com to start a free trial or request a custom enterprise pricing discussion based on your environment.
FreemiumSnyk offers a free tier for open-source projects with limited test counts \u2014 a genuine starting point for individual developers and small teams working on public repositories. Team plan at $25/developer/month (minimum 5 developers, up to 10 developers) includes all five security products (Code, Open Source, Container, IaC, API) with prioritized vulnerability remediation, compliance reporting, and integration with enterprise security tools. Enterprise plan at custom pricing (contact sales) adds SSO/SAML, advanced analytics and reporting dashboards, SBOM generation, compliance frameworks (CIS, PCI, ISO, HIPAA, SOC 2), Snyk Guard for adaptive policy enforcement, dedicated customer success, and API access for custom integrations. Note: per-developer pricing scales quickly and can become expensive for teams beyond 50-100 developers.

AccuKnox

AccuKnox Pros & Cons

Pros

  • eBPF + LSM kernel-level enforcement — blocks attacks at the OS layer, not just detects them — genuine Zero Trust runtime security
  • KubeArmor open-source project (CNCF Sandbox, 1.2M+ downloads) — largest community validation of any CNAPP runtime engine
  • 15+ Zero Trust patents from SRI International — deepest research pedigree in runtime container security in the market
  • Gen-AI Prompt Firewall and AgentZ — among first CNAPP platforms with purpose-built AI agent security and LLM protection
  • Private cloud and on-premises deployment — serves regulated industries and government with full control over data
  • Free trial available with no credit card required — accessible evaluation for DevSecOps and engineering teams
  • #1 AI Security Startup of the Year 2026 (BSides ACSC) — 2nd consecutive year recognition

Cons

  • Only $10.6M total funding vs Wiz ($1.9B), Orca ($632M), Prisma Cloud (PANW-backed) — much smaller financial resources
  • Primarily Kubernetes-first — less mature CSPM and CIEM coverage for non-Kubernetes cloud environments vs larger CNAPPs
  • Small team size (51-100 employees) limits enterprise support capacity and implementation resources
  • Custom-only pricing requires direct contact — no self-service or published tiers makes cost evaluation difficult
  • Sales-driven enterprise positioning may not suit smaller teams or startups evaluating quickly

  • Free plan limited to open-source projects only — private repo scanning requires paid plan
  • Some advanced features have a steep learning curve for developer teams new to AppSec
