Veracode bills per application and scans out-of-band. CodeStax runs every commit, bills per seat, and uses AI triage to cut the noise Veracode leaves to your team.
Our opinionated read on where CodeStax leads and where Veracode holds ground.
Drag the sliders. Same scan surface. Flat per-seat pricing vs Veracode.
Based on published rates. Your actual quote may differ.
Estimate assumes ~1 app per 5 developers and industry-reported Veracode pricing (~$15K/app/yr). Your Veracode quote will vary by contract.
The comparison your security + platform teams will do anyway — laid out plainly.

Things that don't show up on the pricing page, but do show up in the invoice and the roadmap.
Every microservice, Lambda, and internal tool that needs scanning adds to your bill. Fast-moving teams with lots of services blow past initial estimates quickly.
Upload-based scan architecture means developers see results 15-60 minutes after the push. CodeStax scans per-commit in minutes, inside the PR.
Veracode was built for security analysts in a central portal. Developers end up with plugin-driven PR comments and a separate dashboard.
No public pricing, no self-serve. Procurement cycles measured in months. CodeStax is buyable on a card today at $12/seat/mo.
Seven reasons we hear from teams that consolidated onto CodeStax.
Per-seat at $144-264/yr beats per-application pricing for any team with more than a handful of services.
2 minutes to first scan vs ~1 week of plugin wiring, policy rollout, and enterprise onboarding.
Inline PR comments, unified dashboard, AI-ranked triage. Veracode's UX was designed for AppSec teams, not developers.
All six engines included in CodeStax Growth. Veracode's IaC and container scanning are add-ons.
AI triage on every finding. Veracode defaults to strict policy-based ranking without exploitability context.
Committable diffs inline. Veracode's remediation text is thorough but doesn't ship as a diff you can click-merge.
Per-commit non-blocking scans keep your merge queue moving. Upload-based asynchronous scans create waiting periods.
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 Veracode 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 Veracode once parity is confirmed. Pocket the savings.
Straight answers to the questions prospects usually send via email.
