Snyk vs Socket

Our take

Pick Snyk if app-sec / platform teams who will stay on Free at $0 / month while they open a first Issues list, then buy Team at $25 / month when they need the small-team flat rate. Pick Socket if app teams who will stay on Free at $0 / dev seat / month (1,000 scans) while they open a first Scans list, then buy Team at $25 / seat / month when they want reachability scoring and Slack alerts.
