Snyk Code review and pricing

Developer-first SAST inside the Snyk DevSecOps platform.

By Snyk · Founded 2015 · Boston, MA · private

Snyk Code is the SAST module of the Snyk DevSecOps platform, launched in 2020 after Snyks DeepCode acquisition. Snyk last raised a Series F at a $7.4B valuation in September 2021, the peak dev-tools valuation, then went through two rounds of layoffs in 2023 (reported 14 percent in October 2023) and 2024 as the company restructured against slower revenue growth. The product covers SAST, SCA (Snyk Open Source), container scanning (Snyk Container), and IaC (Snyk IaC) in one platform. Strengths: developer-first PR-time SAST with low false-positive rate on Snyks published benchmarks, strong fit for buyers already running Snyk Open Source, and tight Git plus IDE integration. Trade-offs: post-2023 layoffs raised product-velocity questions, the $7.4B valuation has not been re-marked and renewal pricing has crept up, Snyks security-vulnerability-detection-accuracy claims have been challenged by independent benchmarks (notably OWASP), and the platform footprint is heavier than buyers wanting only SAST.

Best for

Engineering organizations already running Snyk Open Source, Container, or IaC that want SAST inside the same platform. Particularly strong for buyers wanting developer-first PR-time security feedback that engineering teams adopt without security-team pressure.

Worst for

Buyers wanting deepest semantic security analysis (CodeQL better), policy-driven custom rules (Semgrep better), or broadest language coverage for non-security code quality (SonarQube better).

Trust signal log
  • 2021-09-09
    Snyk Series F raised at $7.4B valuation
    Peak dev-tools valuation of the era; funded aggressive platform expansion through 2022.
  • 2023-10-24
    Snyk layoffs (reported 14 percent of workforce)
    Roughly 200 roles cut as the company restructured against slower revenue growth; raised product-velocity questions.
  • 2024-06-15
    Second round of layoffs reported in 2024
    Smaller round reported in mid-2024; customer concerns around account-management continuity.
  • 2024-09-22
    DeepCode AI autofix expanded
    AI autofix for common vulnerability classes expanded; complex multi-file fixes still limited.
Vendor Trust is scored independently of product quality. A great product from an unfair vendor still earns a low trust score.
