What does Snyk Code actually scan for?

It targets OWASP Top 10 like SQLi, XSS, secrets, plus 20+ categories in 20+ langs — your source, not deps.

Is Snyk Code better than Semgrep or SonarQube?

For semantic depth and speed, yes; beats rules on interfile flows, false positives. Semgrep's cheaper/free for basics.

Free OSS scans, $25+/user/mo Pro, Enterprise bespoke — value in platform bundle.

What if your SAST tool didn't just flag patterns, but truly grasped your code's intent? Snyk Code does — via AI trained on millions of real fixes.
