Understanding Snyk "Tests"

A test is one scan of one manifest file, container image, or IaC template. This is the billing unit that determines whether the Free plan works for you.

Example: 10 repos, 3 manifest types each, 5 PRs/day

Tests per PR

3

(one per manifest)

Tests per day

15

(5 PRs x 3 tests)

Tests per month

330

(15/day x 22 days)

Free plan

Exceeds limit

(200 tests hit in ~13 days)

This is a modest setup. A team with 20 repos and frequent PRs can consume 200 tests in a single day. The Free plan is designed for individual developers working on 1 to 3 small private projects.

Team Plan Value Analysis

At $25/developer/month for unlimited tests, here is how the Team plan compares to alternatives.

10-Developer Team: $250/month

Unlimited security scanning across all repos, containers, and IaC. Every PR scanned automatically. Vulnerability alerts in Jira. License compliance tracking.

Compare to: Manual security reviews at $100/hour would cost $1,000+ per month for equivalent coverage. A single undetected vulnerability can cost $50K-$500K+ in incident response.

Alternative: WhiteSource/Mend

Similar SCA functionality at comparable per-developer pricing. Mend (formerly WhiteSource) charges approximately $25-$40/developer/month. Stronger on license compliance, weaker on SAST compared to Snyk Code.

Compare to: Checkmarx SAST at $200-$500+/developer/year ($17-$42/dev/month) offers deeper static analysis but slower scan times and a steeper learning curve.

Snyk Product Breakdown

Four security products, each targeting a different layer of your application stack.

Snyk Open Source (SCA)

Every project with third-party dependencies

Scans your dependency manifests (package.json, pom.xml, go.mod, requirements.txt, Gemfile) for known vulnerabilities. Identifies which of your direct and transitive dependencies have published CVEs and provides upgrade or patch paths. This is Snyk's core product and the most widely used feature.

Snyk Code (SAST)

Custom application code

Static Application Security Testing that scans your own source code for security issues like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, path traversal, and hardcoded credentials. Unlike traditional SAST tools, Snyk Code runs in near-real-time (seconds, not hours) and works within the IDE for immediate developer feedback.

Snyk Container

Containerized applications

Scans Docker images and Kubernetes workloads for OS-level vulnerabilities in the base image and application dependencies baked into the container. Identifies the minimal base image that eliminates the most vulnerabilities and recommends base image upgrades.

Snyk Infrastructure as Code

Cloud infrastructure managed as code

Scans Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes YAML, Azure ARM templates, and Helm charts for security misconfigurations. Detects issues like publicly accessible S3 buckets, overly permissive IAM policies, unencrypted databases, and missing network policies.

Snyk vs SonarQube vs Checkmarx

These three tools are commonly compared but serve different purposes. Many teams use two or even all three together.

Snyk

Supply chain security, container scanning, IaC security. Developer-first workflow. Best for: teams that want security integrated into the developer experience.

SonarQube

Code quality and code-level security. Detects bugs, code smells, and SAST issues. Community Edition is free. Best for: teams prioritizing code quality alongside security.

Checkmarx

Enterprise SAST/DAST/SCA suite. Deep static analysis for compliance. $200-$500+/dev/year. Best for: regulated industries requiring comprehensive AppSec programs.

For most teams starting their security journey: Snyk for dependency and container security + SonarQube Community for code quality. This combination is free or low-cost and covers the most common vulnerability vectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are open-source projects free on Snyk?
Yes. Snyk provides unlimited free tests for public/open-source repositories. There is no test limit, no feature restriction, and no time limit for open-source projects. This makes Snyk Free the best security tool available for open-source maintainers. The 200 test/month limit only applies to private repositories.
What IDE integrations does Snyk support?
Snyk has plugins for VS Code, JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, WebStorm, PyCharm, GoLand), Eclipse, and Vim/Neovim. The IDE plugin scans your code and dependencies in real-time as you develop, showing vulnerability alerts inline. The VS Code extension is the most popular and feature-complete, with inline fix suggestions.
Which CI/CD platforms does Snyk integrate with?
Snyk integrates with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure Pipelines, Bitbucket Pipelines, Travis CI, and AWS CodePipeline. The integration typically adds a single step to your pipeline that runs snyk test and optionally fails the build if critical vulnerabilities are found.
How is Snyk's vulnerability database different from CVE/NVD?
Snyk maintains its own vulnerability database curated by its security research team. It includes CVE entries but also adds proprietary vulnerability disclosures found through Snyk's research. Snyk's database is typically updated within hours of a vulnerability becoming public, compared to days or weeks for NVD. Snyk also provides a proprietary Priority Score (1-1000) that combines CVSS with reachability, exploit maturity, and fix availability.
What counts as a 'test' in Snyk billing?
A test is one scan of one manifest file, container image, or Infrastructure as Code template. A repository with package.json, Dockerfile, and main.tf counts as 3 tests per scan. Each CI/CD scan on a PR triggers tests for all manifest files in that repo. Scheduled scans, manual scans, and IDE scans all count toward your monthly test limit on the Free plan.
Does Snyk support Infrastructure as Code scanning?
Yes. Snyk IaC scans Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates, and Helm charts. It detects misconfigurations such as publicly accessible S3 buckets, overly permissive security groups, and unencrypted databases. Snyk IaC is available on all plans including Free.
Can Snyk automatically fix vulnerabilities?
Snyk can automatically generate fix pull requests for dependency vulnerabilities when a patched version is available. The PR updates the dependency version and includes a description of the vulnerability and the fix. Automated fix PRs are available on Team and Enterprise plans. On Free, you can view fix recommendations but must apply them manually.
