Snyk Code
Real-time static security analysis that detects vulnerabilities in your code from the IDE
Overview
Snyk Code is Snyk's static application security testing (SAST) engine, powered by DeepCode AI. It scans source code in real time in your IDE to detect vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS, secret mishandling, etc.) and offers automated fixes. Unlike slow traditional SAST tools, Snyk Code delivers near-instant results via a hybrid approach using AI plus semantic rules, with very low false-positive rates.
The free plan allows 100 tests per month and includes IDE integration, sufficient for a solo developer. The Team plan starts at $25/developer/month (minimum 5 developers) and climbs to 1,000 monthly tests with auto-fixes. The Ignite plan at $1,260/year/developer offers unlimited tests for teams under 50. Billing is based on developers who committed code in the last 90 days.
Our verdict
Recommended for any development team handling sensitive data or public APIs: Snyk Code is the most accessible tool to embed security at write time (shift-left). Avoid if your needs are limited to code completions; Snyk Code is a security tool, not a general copilot.
