Pricing Analysis

Socket.dev Free tier includes 1K scans/month and 70+ risk type detection (typosquatting, supply chain poisoning, environment exfiltration), eliminating entry barrier for security-conscious teams. AI analysis flags suspicious code patterns without manual review.

Team tier ($25/seat/month or $20/year) adds reachability analysis (identifies which dependencies actually execute) and Slack alerts, reducing false positives by 60%. Yearly discount (20% savings) targets committed teams.

Business tier ($50/seat/month, $40/year) includes SBOM generation for compliance audits and SSO/SAML for enterprise rollouts. Scan volume scales with team growth—no per-scan throttling.

Strengths

  • 70+ risk types and AI analysis catch supply chain attacks (malicious npm packages, dependency confusion, typosquatting) before they reach production
  • Reachability analysis eliminates alert fatigue; distinguishes between 'malicious code present' and 'malicious code executes in my project' (most alerts are false positives)
  • Slack integration surfaces urgent vulnerabilities in dev workflows; 5K scans/month on Team tier accommodates typical CI/CD testing cadence

Considerations

  • 1K scans/month on Free tier insufficient for monorepos with frequent dependency updates; Team upgrade required for active development
  • Per-seat billing ($25/month) less predictable than per-scan alternatives; large teams exceed 5K scans budget quickly
  • Reachability analysis valuable but CPU-intensive; slow CI/CD pipeline impact during large dependency audits
Ideal For

Development teams managing open-source dependencies as core risk, or organizations with supply chain compliance requirements.

Pricing Takeaway

Team tier ($20/year per person) delivers exceptional ROI through reachability analysis and Slack alerts, but per-seat model penalizes high-velocity CI/CD pipelines.
