Snyk vs Veracode: Fix PRs in the developer queue, or a policy-led AppSec RFP

A pull request lands with open-source upgrades and a SAST finding on the same diff. The security team still needs the release train to stop when an application fails a named policy, not only when a developer ignores a bot comment. Both vendors cover AppSec scanners. They disagree on whether the default delivery is a Fix PR in the repo or a security-owned policy program sold at RFP scale.

Buy Snyk when SCA, SAST, and containers must ship as developer Fix PRs. Buy Veracode when AppSec is a security-led enterprise program with RFP-scale packaging.

Overview

	Snyk	Veracode
Primary use case	Developer AppSec platform for Open Source, Code, Container, and IaC with Fix PRs and Agent Fix inside the SCM and IDE	Enterprise Application Risk Management platform for SAST, SCA, DAST, Fix, Package Firewall, and policy-led portfolio governance
Day-to-day workflow	Import repos, run PR checks, open automatic or manual Fix PRs for supported ecosystems, and apply Agent Fix suggestions with @snyk /fix and @snyk /apply where enabled	Assign a security policy to an application profile, run Pipeline Scan or Upload and Scan, fail builds on severity or policy, and invoke Veracode Fix from IDE, CLI, or SCM for supported finding types
Main buying consideration	Team is listed at USD 25 per month for development teams of up to 10 developers on snyk.io/plans. Enterprise is Contact Sales prepaid credits with a public rate card (Code and Open Source at 1.0 credit per Active Contributor per Day; Container at 0.33 credit per Monitored Image per Day)	Public product pages reviewed on 7 Oct 2026 are quote-only. Packaging is sold as RFP-scoped modules such as SAST, SCA, DAST, Fix, Package Firewall, Risk Manager, and Container/IaC rather than a printed per-user USD list

We reviewed Snyk’s plans page and credit-based billing policy for Team and Enterprise metering, the Fix pull or merge requests and Dockerfile Fix PR docs, Agent Fix in PRs product updates, and the TechnologyOne customer story, and Veracode’s Fix, Pipeline Scan, security policy, and Package Firewall docs plus the Zurich Seguros customer story for policy-led program outcomes.

Veracode

Editions and pricing

Snyk publishes a Free and Team ladder beside an Enterprise credit platform. Veracode publishes module packaging and demo paths without a public USD list on the pages reviewed for this compare.

	Snyk	Veracode
How it is sold	Free for individual developers and small teams; Team for up to 10 developers with higher test limits and Jira; Enterprise Platform Subscription as prepaid credits usable across capabilities on the rate card. Evo capabilities such as AI Pentesting and Coding Agent security require Enterprise	Sales and demo path for Application Risk Management modules. Review materials list SAST, SCA, DAST, Fix, Package Firewall, Software Supply Chain Intelligence, Container/IaC, and Risk Manager as packageable surfaces rather than a self-serve user ladder
Figure on the public page	USD 25 per month on the Team card checked 7 Oct 2026 for teams of up to 10 developers. Free is USD 0. Enterprise shows Contact Sales. The Platform Rate Card defines 1 credit as the USD 1 pricing unit and lists consumption rates such as 1.0 credit per Active Contributor per Day for Code and Open Source	No public per-application or per-user USD list on the Veracode product and demo pages reviewed on 7 Oct 2026. Buyers receive module scope and term through a quote
What the listing adds about payment	Team is self-serve on the plans page. Exhausted prepaid Enterprise credits continue as on-demand consumption invoiced in arrears per the credit policy dated 4 Aug 2026. Per-credit price on the Order can differ from the rate-card unit definition	Time-limited trials appear on selected product paths such as DAST Essentials. Enterprise commercial terms, application counts, and scan volume remain on the quote rather than a printed catalog rate

Fix delivery

Shared surface starts with SCA and SAST findings developers must clear. The documented split is how fixes arrive in the repository and which surfaces can open merge requests without leaving the IDE or CI job.

	Snyk	Veracode
SCM fix pull requests	Automatic and manual Fix PRs, Upgrade PRs, and Backlog PRs for supported package managers on SCM-imported projects. Dockerfile Projects can open automatic or manual Fix PRs that change the FROM line for Docker Official base images	Fix in SCM opens merge requests with generated patches for Fix for SCA. Fix for SAST is documented for IDE and CLI, not as an SCM merge-request path on the Fix matrix reviewed
In-PR and IDE remediation	Agent Fix in PRs supports @snyk /fix and @snyk /apply for SAST suggestions on GitHub, GitLab, and Azure Repos where enabled. Remediation Agent docs cover IDE and CLI agentic flows for SCA and SAST	Fix in IDE covers Fix for SAST in Eclipse, JetBrains, Visual Studio, and VS Code. Fix in CLI covers SAST and SCA. Fix for SCA runs as a remote session designed for automated or unattended invocation
Breakability and batching signals	Upgrade PRs include a breakability risk level in the PR description with follow-up analysis. Enterprise customers get a Generated Pull Requests report for Fix, Backlog, and Upgrade PR merge efficiency	Fix for SCA remote sessions are documented for transitive dependency and breaking-change handling in batch. Pipeline Scan can feed Veracode Fix for automatic resolution of scan findings in the development tool chain

Policy and supply-chain gates

Both platforms can fail a build or block a dependency. The documented controls differ on where policy lives and how package firewall rules attach to registries.

	Snyk	Veracode
Build and merge gates	PR checks test code changes on configured conditions before merge. Organization and Project settings control when automatic Fix and Upgrade PRs are submitted for SCM integrations	Pipeline Scan compares results to a baseline file and can fail the job with fail_on_severity or related thresholds. Upload and Scan evaluates applications against assigned security policies for Platform-connected mitigations and matching
Application security policy object	Enterprise governance surfaces include reports, SAML SSO, custom roles, and service accounts on the plans matrix. Policy language on this page stays with PR check configuration and Fix PR enablement rather than a separate application-profile policy object named like Veracode’s	Policy Administrators assign built-in or custom security policies to application profiles, set defaults by business criticality, and re-evaluate applications when a custom policy changes. Zurich Seguros reports policy compliance moving from 20% to 99% on its Veracode program story
Malicious and noncompliant packages	Open Source Fix and Upgrade PRs remediate known vulnerable versions in supported manifests. This page does not treat a separate Package Firewall SKU as a Snyk list price line	Package Firewall (Phylum lineage as the current Veracode SKU) evaluates dependencies with default and custom OPA/Rego policies, warn-only mode, and integrations for Artifactory, Nexus, Azure Artifacts, npm, PyPI, Cargo, and Maven

Favor Snyk when the documented requirement is automatic or manual Fix PRs, Upgrade PRs, Dockerfile base-image Fix PRs, and Agent Fix in supported SCMs for Open Source, Code, and Container. Favor Veracode when the documented requirement is security policies on application profiles, Pipeline Scan or Upload and Scan gates, Veracode Fix across IDE/CLI/SCM, and Package Firewall controls inside an RFP-scoped Application Risk Management package.
