Pricing
EnterpriseCycode uses enterprise subscription pricing with no public pricing page and no free tier. All plans require direct engagement with the sales team. Pricing is based on organizational size, application portfolio, and selected modules within the Complete ASPM platform. Cycode serves Fortune 100 companies and mid-to-large enterprises. Contact Cycode through cycode.com to request a demo and discuss enterprise pricing. A demo environment is available to qualified organizations.
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.

AI-native ASPM platform with Risk Intelligence Graph and ADLC Security for AI-era application security
Developer-first AI security platform — DeepCode AI SAST, SCA, container, IaC, and AI Security Fabric
Cycode

Cycode Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for Software Supply Chain Security (2026) — highest independent analyst validation
  • Risk Intelligence Graph correlates findings across all AppSec tools to surface truly exploitable vulnerabilities — eliminates alert noise
  • ADLC Security purpose-built for AI-generated code — AI Visibility, AI Governance, AI Guardrails, and AI-BOM in one suite
  • Cycode MCP Server integrates directly into AI coding assistants for real-time scan coverage
  • 300+ ASPM Marketplace connectors — integrates with Snyk, Checkmarx, Veracode, Wiz, and all major AppSec tools
  • AI Teammates autonomously handle exploitability assessment and fix generation — reduces AppSec team burden significantly
  • Fortune 100 customer validation — proven in the most demanding enterprise security environments

Cons

  • $81M raised — smaller financial backing than Snyk ($530M), Checkmarx ($1.15B acquisition), or Semgrep ($204M)
  • Enterprise-only pricing with no self-serve or free tier for evaluation without a sales call
  • ASPM consolidation requires integrating existing AppSec tools — complex initial setup for organizations with mature toolchains
  • Primarily targets mid-to-large enterprises — may be overkill for small engineering teams
  • Newer to market than Checkmarx or Veracode — less legacy customer validation at extreme scale
