Snyk vs Burp Suite

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

From $475 per user/year (Professional)

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

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

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

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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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

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