Snyk vs Superagent

Snyk

Snyk earns its place on the free tier for any small team that ships open-source dependencies and containers: the scanner lives in the IDE and the pull request, and the fix-PR workflow is what gets findings closed rather than filed. The commercial cliff is steep — Team is a flat self-serve plan that stops at ten developers, and everything above that, including every AI-branded Evo feature, is a credit-based enterprise contract priced per contributor per day.

Pros

• +Free tier includes code, dependency, container and IaC scanning with IDE and CLI integrations
• +Fix pull requests close findings instead of listing them
• +Published rate card makes enterprise credits legible: 1 credit = $1 per contributor per day for Code or Open Source
• +Founded 2015, with a decade of vulnerability data behind the scanner

Cons

• −Free Code scanning is capped at 100 tests a month, which a busy repository exhausts quickly
• −Team stops at 10 developers and shows no annual price
• −All Evo AI capabilities require an Enterprise subscription
• −Enterprise credits are prepaid for the contract term and overage is invoiced in arrears

Superagent

A fit for engineering teams that already ship code written by agents and want an automated reviewer and guardrail layer rather than another dashboard. The free tier for open-source repositories is the easiest way to judge the findings. Private-repo pricing starts high, and the 500-credit cost of one red-team report means the entry plan buys only a single report per month.

Pros

• +Free unlimited use on public repositories
• +Covers PRs, dependency updates, red teaming and runtime guardrails in one product
• +API and MCP access plus unlimited seats on every plan
• +Founders maintain open-source guardrail and sandbox tooling

Cons

• −Paid tiers jump from free straight to $499 a month
• −Red-team reports consume 500 credits each, so the Starter plan covers one per month
• −Product has pivoted from an agent framework, so older tutorials and docs may be out of date
