What our research says

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

ZeroPath

ZeroPath's pitch is fewer false positives than a typical SAST tool because it verifies exploitability and ships a patch instead of just a warning, which is a real time-saver if it holds up in practice. The $1,000-a-month-plus-per-seat Team plan puts it squarely in mid-size-to-enterprise budget territory, not a tool an individual developer would buy.

Pros

  • Verifies exploitability before flagging a vulnerability, aiming to cut false positives
  • Generates working patches, not just findings
  • Covers code, dependencies, containers, and infrastructure-as-code in one product
  • Integrates directly with major git hosts and issue trackers

Cons

  • Team plan starts at $1,000/month plus $60 per developer, a real budget commitment
  • No self-serve free tier; the usage-based Credits plan is still listed as coming soon
  • Enterprise self-hosted pricing is custom and requires a sales conversation

Which one fits

Choose Snyk if you need

  • Small teams that want dependency and container scanning in the pull request without a security hire
  • Developers who want fixes proposed as PRs rather than a vulnerability list
  • Organisations on GitHub, GitLab or Jira that need SCA, SAST and IaC from one vendor

Choose ZeroPath if you need

  • Engineering teams wanting PR-level security review with working patches, not just alerts
  • Organizations needing SAST plus dependency, container, and IaC scanning in one tool
  • Teams already on GitHub/GitLab/Azure DevOps wanting native integration
