Burp Suite vs Snyk

From $475 per user/year (Professional)

From $25 per contributing developer/month (indicative, Team)

Professional is inexpensive for what it does; Enterprise is quote-based by scanning agents and applications.

Priced per contributing developer. Enterprise agreements add reporting and governance and get expensive.

Community Edition is free but omits the scanner and rate-limits key tools.

Free plan with a monthly test allowance, generous enough for small projects.

• The reference tool for manual application penetration testing — every security professional knows it.
• Exceptional scanner accuracy, particularly for injection classes.
• Professional Edition is remarkably good value at under $500 per year.

• Reachability analysis dramatically cuts the noise from transitive dependency alerts.
• Automated fix pull requests make remediation a merge rather than a project.
• One vendor covers dependencies, code, containers and IaC.

• Community Edition is too limited for serious automated work.
• Requires security expertise; it is not a push-button product for developers.
• Enterprise licensing is a significant step up in cost.

• Per-developer pricing scales uncomfortably in large engineering organisations.
• SAST is less deep than dedicated code-analysis vendors.
• Still produces substantial alert volume on older codebases.

Security teams and penetration testers, plus enterprises needing scheduled authenticated scanning.

Engineering teams that want security findings arriving in the pull request with a fix attached.
