Truly Free AppSec
AppSec's Dirty Secret

You Can't Even Find Out What It Costs

The AppSec industry hides behind "contact sales" walls. We believe in transparency — and in making real security accessible to every team.

Checkmarx

🔒 "Contact Sales"
Three weeks of calls, demos, and negotiations before you see a number. Average deal: $80–150K/year.

Black Duck

🔒 "Request a Quote"
Source code must be uploaded to their cloud. Pricing requires a Synopsys sales cycle. No self-service.

Snyk

💸 $1,260/developer/year
But who counts as a "contributing developer"? Contractors? Part-timers? The definition expands at renewal time.

SonarQube

⚠️ "Free!*"
*50K lines of code maximum. Real projects exceed this in week one. Then: $15K+ for Developer Edition.

Semgrep

⚠️ "Free!*"
*10 contributors, 10 repositories. Scale beyond that and you're on a paid plan with opaque pricing.
