Snyk is a security company that builds tools for developers. Its platform finds and helps fix vulnerabilities in the code a team writes, in the open-source packages it depends on, in container images and in infrastructure-as-code files, and it now presents itself as an AI Security Platform: an independent layer that checks AI-generated code, governs AI coding agents and secures applications that use AI. It plugs into developers’ editors, command line, source-code hosting, CI/CD pipelines and AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor and Codex.
Snyk was founded in 2015 and reached unicorn status in 2020, according to its About page. It is headquartered in Boston and lists offices in Bucharest, Cluj, Lisbon, London, Ottawa, San Francisco, Singapore, Sydney, Tel Aviv, Tokyo and Zürich. Customers named on its site include Google, Atlassian, Spotify, Snowflake, Twilio, Kroger, Manulife and Jaguar Land Rover.
What it scans
The plans page lists the products by what they check. Snyk Code is static analysis (SAST) of your own source code. Snyk Open Source is software composition analysis (SCA) of the packages you install. Container scans images, IaC scans infrastructure-as-code configuration, and Secrets looks for leaked keys. API & Web tests running applications. A newer family called Evo covers AI security posture, coding-agent security and AI-driven penetration testing; Snyk says Evo is not available on the Free or Team plans.
Pricing
The Free plan costs nothing and covers SCA, SAST, IaC and Container scanning with editor, CLI and repository integrations, limited to 5 projects and 100 Snyk Code tests a month. Team starts at $25 a month, billed monthly at a flat rate for development teams of up to 10 developers, and raises the limits to 100 projects and 1,000 Code tests a month, with a Jira integration and next-business-day support. Enterprise is sold as a platform subscription with prepaid credits, where one credit equals one dollar. Each product burns credits at a published rate; Code and Open Source, for example, cost one credit per active contributor per day.
