Snyk Code is an AI-powered static application security testing (SAST) product from Snyk that finds and automatically remediates vulnerabilities directly in a developer's own code, as part of the broader Snyk security platform. Rather than only flagging issues late in a pipeline, it scans in real time inside IDEs and CI/CD, using an agentic architecture built on Snyk's DeepCode AI engine to combine frontier AI models with Snyk's own proprietary security intelligence.
Who builds it
- Built by Snyk, a developer-security company whose platform also covers open source dependencies (Snyk Open Source), containers (Snyk Container), infrastructure as code (Snyk IaC), and cloud configuration (Snyk Cloud).
- Snyk Code was named a Leader in The Forrester Wave for SAST, Q3 2025.
Core features
- Agent Fix: automatically generates and applies fixes directly in IDEs and pull requests, with Snyk citing 80%-accurate fixes and a reduction in time-to-remediate of 84% or more.
- DeepCode AI engine: uses few-shot prompting to inject frontier AI models with real-world security guidance so fixes match expert-level quality, drawing on a modeled base of 25 million-plus data-flow cases and a vulnerability database of 35,000-plus entries.
- Real-time scanning inside IDEs and build pipelines, not just at commit or PR time.
- Broad language, IDE, and CI/CD coverage, with expanding support for LLM libraries such as OpenAI's and Hugging Face's SDKs.
- Separate, product-specific test counts, so Snyk Code usage is metered independently from Snyk's other security products.
Pricing
- Free: $0 per contributing developer, includes 100 Snyk Code tests per month, unlimited tests for public/open-source projects, IDE plugins, and SCM integration.
- Team: starting at $25/month per contributing developer, includes 1,000 Snyk Code tests per month.
- Ignite: starting at $1,260/year per contributing developer, includes unlimited Snyk Code tests per month.
- Enterprise: custom pricing (contact sales), also includes unlimited Snyk Code tests per month plus enterprise governance features.
Who it's for
Snyk Code suits development teams that want security scanning built into the coding workflow itself — catching and auto-fixing vulnerabilities in first-party code before it ships — rather than relying solely on separate, later-stage security review. Its free tier makes it accessible to individual developers and small open-source projects, while the Team, Ignite, and Enterprise tiers scale test volume and add governance for larger organizations that need security coverage across many contributing developers and repositories.
