Teams prices selected scanners per contributor and adds larger repository capacity, paid support, OIDC or SAML, RBAC, REST API, and distributed scans. Enterprise requires a quote and adds unlimited repositories and contributors, on-prem source-control support, custom CI/CD, optional dedicated infrastructure, tailored onboarding, and a dedicated account manager. Direct payment timing, minimum commitment, renewal pricing, taxes, implementation charges, and paid AI-credit amounts are not publicly stated. AWS Marketplace Application Security Platform: AWS Marketplace sells Semgrep's SaaS platform through contract dimensions that differ from the direct contributor rates. It is an acquisition route, not a Semgrep plan.

Buyers configure required licenses and capacity with sales, either directly or through an AWS Marketplace private offer. The AWS listing's public $750 12-month dimension belongs only to Veracode Security Labs, a separate training product, so it is excluded from platform plans and starting price.

Best for	Developer-led AppSec programs emphasizing pull-request and CI/CD guardrails Polyglot teams needing broad SAST coverage and custom security rules Teams prioritizing reachable open source vulnerabilities and malicious dependencies	Enterprises with large polyglot application portfolios and formal AppSec governance Teams that need SAST, DAST, SCA, API, container, IaC, and secrets workflows on one SaaS platform Organizations embedding policy gates and remediation feedback into IDE, repository, CI/CD, ticketing, and API workflows
Not for	Programs requiring DAST, IAST, dynamic API testing, container scanning, and SAST in one core license Buyers requiring human manual validation or an outsourced managed AppSec operation Organizations that need every commercial term and all-in multi-scanner cost published before contacting sales	Buyers requiring public self-service pricing and a complete package matrix Very small teams seeking a simple permanent-free scanner Organizations that require an entirely on-premises management platform
Source check	97/100	98/100
Key features	Semgrep Code SAST across 35+ languages with Pro Engine and high-confidence rules Semgrep Supply Chain SCA across 14 languages with reachability, EPSS, SBOM, license, dependency search, and malicious-package detection Semgrep Secrets with semantic analysis, entropy analysis, regex, and local credential validation AI-powered detection, Memories, auto-triage, remediation guidance, dependency upgrade guidance, and Autofix CLI, VS Code, JetBrains, SCM, pull-request, CI/CD, Jira, Slack, email, webhook, and REST API workflows	Source, binary, and hybrid SAST across 100+ languages and frameworks IDE, repository, CLI, CI/CD, sandbox, and policy scan workflows Runtime DAST for web applications, REST APIs, HAR files, and Postman Collections SCA dependency graphs, vulnerable-method reachability, license analysis, and SBOMs Container-image, IaC-misconfiguration, and exposed-secret scanning
Cons	The Teams card's $30 starting statement conflicts with its listed $15 Secrets component rate. Direct payment timing, minimum commitment, renewals, taxes, implementation costs, and Enterprise amounts are not publicly stated. Contributor counts use a rolling 90-day private-repository commit window and aggregate across company organizations.	Platform and module prices, units, minimums, payment timing, commitment, renewal, support, and implementation terms require a quote The broad portfolio is modular, so missing licenses can create coverage gaps despite unified platform marketing Static scanning can require compilation and packaging
Category buying score	80Joint highest score	80Joint highest score
Rank	#6	#7
Context	Security & Privacy / Application Security Testing Software	Security & Privacy / Application Security Testing Software
Accuracy and validation	82Uses reachability analysis and semantic/entropy-based validation to verify vulnerability risk, minimizing noise without requiring dedicated human-operated triage.	80Accuracy is validated through SCA vulnerable-method reachability, but verification of complex environments or custom business logic may require separate expert penetration testing services.
Testing scope and depth	79Testing depth spans Pro Engine SAST, reachability-aware SCA, secrets semantic and entropy analysis, optional Managed Scans for full and pull-request runs, and custom rules, while dynamic, interactive, and container testing remain outside the published core scope.	86Source, binary, and hybrid SAST, runtime DAST for web and REST APIs, SCA with SBOM output, and container, IaC, and secrets scanning deliver broad depth when modules are purchased, excluding IAST and unsupported SOAP or native HTTP/2 API scanning.
Developer workflow	86Fits developers natively via IDE plug-ins and SCM guardrails, but scanning stops immediately if organization-wide contributor counts exceed paid license limits.	84Developers can invoke scans from IDEs, repositories, CLIs, and CI/CD, and optional AI patches or dependency pull requests can shorten feedback loops when those remediation products are licensed.
Remediation quality	78Offers AI-assisted remediation, Autofix beta, and upgrade guidance, which remain subject to monthly AI credit limits and varying language support.	80Optional AI code patches and automated dependency pull requests can help remediation handoff, but those capabilities are optional and distinct from the core AST modules, so buyers should confirm the remediation package they are licensing.
Risk prioritization	83Reachability analysis, EPSS, malicious-package detection, license and SBOM context, and AI triage supply exploitability and dependency risk signals that help order remediation beyond raw severity labels.	77Risk analysis utilizes SCA dependency graphs and policy-based compliance gates, but advanced multi-tool prioritization requires licensing the separate Risk Manager module.
Governance and integrations	79OIDC, SAML, RBAC, reporting, REST API, and distributed scans support governance and operational integration, but the most complete governance set is associated with Teams and Enterprise rather than the free edition.	86The platform integrates with ticketing and CI/CD tools across commercial, European, and US Federal hosting regions, though administering enterprise roles and policy models is required.
Support and total cost	67Free Edition can start Code and Supply Chain at $0 within tight repository, contributor, and AI-credit limits, Teams publishes $30/$30/$15 per-contributor monthly scanner rates with paid support, and Enterprise is quote-based, while payment timing, commitments, renewals, taxes, implementation charges, and extra AI-credit prices stay unpublished and contributor spikes can force license growth.	59Custom-quoted modular licensing, capacity units, support, and services create procurement and ongoing sizing work, with no public platform price matrix and clear separation of training and adjacent product costs.
