Things that don't show up on the pricing page, but do show up in the invoice and the roadmap.
Code, Open Source, Container, and IaC are separate products. Real budgets stack — and each has its own rollout, policies, and dashboards.
$25/dev/mo sounds tame until you multiply by 100-500 engineers and add the three other products. 5x CodeStax Pro is common at enterprise scale.
DeepCode AI only applies inside the SAST product. Dependency, secret, IaC, and container findings still ship with severity-only ranking.
Without AI verification, low-exploitability findings show up next to critical issues. Teams spend hours triaging before the real work starts.
Seven reasons we hear from teams that consolidated onto CodeStax.
One bundle, no per-product add-ons. CodeStax Growth at $12/seat/mo covers what Snyk spreads across four products.
2-minute OAuth install vs Snyk's multi-product onboarding. CodeStax scans every commit — no CLI wrappers, no per-product wiring.
One dashboard, one PR comment thread, one AI-ranked issue list. Your devs see one tool instead of four product siblings.
Snyk doesn't ship a code-quality engine. CodeStax adds complexity, duplication, and dead-code analysis alongside security.
AI-verified triage across every finding, every engine — not just SAST. Fewer drive-by PR comments, higher signal per ticket.
Every finding ships with a committable fix diff across all six engines. Snyk's AI fix suggestions are strongest in Code only.
Non-blocking scan by default. Critical-only gating is opt-in. Snyk users often end up with per-product gates that pile up on PRs.
Most teams cut over in a single sprint. Here's the arc.
Connect your VCS. All six engines available from the first scan.
Run CodeStax next to Snyk on a pilot repo for a sprint.
Bring existing triage state via SARIF or manual import.
Enable non-blocking PR comments. Opt into critical-only CI gates later.
Disable Snyk once parity is confirmed. Pocket the savings.
Straight answers to the questions prospects usually send via email.
