Pricing
EnterpriseWiz uses enterprise-only, workload-based pricing and does not publish list prices; all plans require a sales conversation. Published AWS Marketplace reference pricing lists Wiz Essential at $24,000/year and Wiz Advanced at $38,000/year for 100 cloud workloads, with add-ons such as Wiz Sensor ($28,000/year for 100 sensors), Wiz Code ($58,500/year for 100 code licenses), and Wiz Defend ($18,000/year for 300GB of monthly log ingestion). Third-party spend data (Vendr) puts overall contract values between roughly $24,000 and $354,000/year, with a median around $111,500/year. Most contracts run 12 months, and pricing scales with the number of cloud workloads protected.
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.
