Our verdict: Snyk
Snyk is essential for any development team producing code or using open source dependencies. The free plan is generous for small projects, and the Team plan at $25/dev/month is justified as soon as application security becomes a concern. Drawback: billing per 'contributing developer' can surprise large teams. Avoid if your dev team is outsourced and lacks structured CI/CD processes.
Our verdict: Socket
Socket is the essential complement to Snyk for teams wanting real supply chain coverage, not just a CVE list. Its behavioral package analysis is unique. The free plan (1,000 scans/month) suits small projects, and the Team plan at $25/dev is reasonable. Only limitation: mainly focused on npm/Python/Java:if your stack is exotic, verify coverage before subscribing.
