AI-powered code security scanning

Snyk Code is a developer-first static application security testing (SAST) tool powered by DeepCode AI that scans code in real-time, identifies security vulnerabilities, and provides actionable one-click fix suggestions directly within the developer's IDE. Part of the broader Snyk security platform, it covers the full application security lifecycle from code to cloud.

Key Capabilities

Snyk Code performs real-time code scanning within IDEs to identify security vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and weak cryptography before code is committed. Powered by DeepCode AI, it goes beyond syntax-level analysis to perform semantic analysis that traces data flows through applications. One-click fix suggestions let developers remediate issues without leaving their workflow. The platform supports a wide range of programming languages, integrates with CI/CD pipelines for automated scanning, and offers a contributor-based billing model that only charges for developers who actively commit code.

Who Should Use Snyk Code

Snyk Code is designed for development teams building secure applications, security-conscious organizations needing SAST in their DevSecOps pipeline, and enterprises requiring compliance with security standards. Its contributor-based pricing model makes it cost-effective for organizations with mixed teams of committers and non-committing reviewers.

Sign up at snyk.io for a free account to start scanning your code immediately. Connect your repositories on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, and install the Snyk IDE extension for real-time scanning in VS Code or JetBrains. Snyk Code will analyze your codebase and present prioritized vulnerability findings with fix suggestions.

Pricing & Accessibility: Free tier available for individual developers and small teams. Team plan at $25/developer/month with contributor-based billing (only charges for developers who commit code in the last 90 days). Enterprise plans start at $1,260/year per contributing developer with multi-year discounts of 20-45%.

Frequently Asked Questions about Snyk Code

How does Snyk Code's contributor-based billing work?
Snyk charges only for contributing developers who have committed code to private repositories within the last 90 days. This excludes public repository contributors, security reviewers, and architects who don't commit code, potentially reducing costs by 20-40% compared to traditional per-seat pricing.
Can Snyk Code scan code in real-time?
Yes, with the Snyk IDE extension installed in VS Code or JetBrains, Snyk Code performs real-time scanning as you write code, flagging security vulnerabilities and offering fix suggestions before you even commit your changes.
What is the difference between Snyk Code and Snyk Open Source?
Snyk Code performs SAST scanning on your proprietary code for bugs and security flaws, while Snyk Open Source scans your third-party dependencies for known vulnerabilities. Together, they provide comprehensive coverage of both first-party and third-party code.
