Our take
What our shortlists say about each one.
- Snyk Code
Best for: Teams wanting scanning inside the IDE and pull requests
It earns a place because it scans without a build, in seconds to minutes, so the check fits inside the developer's own loop and not a nightly job. That suits teams of any size where developers own their fixes. If source code privacy is a hard rule for you, ask exactly where your code is processed, since it runs as a cloud service.

- Snyk DeepCode AI
Best for: Teams wanting AI-generated fix suggestions alongside SAST findings
The trade-off is that DeepCode AI is part of the Snyk ecosystem. If you are already using Snyk for SCA, the integration is natural. If you are not, you are buying into a platform, not just a scanner. The self-hosted deployment option exists, which helps with data sensitivity concerns, but the full AI capabilities may have cloud dependencies. Evaluate that carefully if your code cannot leave your network.
