Snyk is a strong choice for cloud-native teams. If you need self-hosted deployment, flat licensing, or full data residency, dpndncY is designed for that scenario.
Runs entirely on your infrastructure. Your code and vulnerability data never leave your network. One license covers your whole team — no per-seat fees.
Snyk is a mature, well-regarded SCA platform with excellent fix suggestions and a curated proprietary vulnerability database. Best suited for teams comfortable with cloud processing and per-developer pricing.

Every scan runs on your infrastructure. Source code, manifests, and vulnerability data stay inside your perimeter. This matters for regulated industries, government, and any team with strict data residency requirements.
One license, one price — regardless of team size. Snyk's per-developer model means your security costs grow linearly with headcount. dpndncY's pricing doesn't punish you for hiring.
dpndncY builds a full attack graph from entry points through vulnerable dependencies, scoring paths by reachability and sink type — helping you prioritize what's actually exploitable in your specific codebase.
All vulnerability data comes from OSV, NVD, GHSA, and CISA KEV — all publicly auditable. You're not relying on a proprietary database you can't inspect or verify.
dpndncY covers the same ecosystems with EPSS exploitability scoring and Attack Path analysis — running entirely on your own infrastructure.
