Semgrep
Semgrep scans source code, software dependencies, and secrets for security issues. Its AI features assist with detection, triage, and proposed fixes, fitting into code-review and development workflows alongside configurable scanning rules.
Free Edition supports up to 10 contributors. Teams starts at $30 per contributor per month for a selected product; Enterprise uses custom pricing. Confirm the combined cost when using multiple scanners.Is Semgrep right for you?
Good for
- Engineering-led teams that want rule-based static analysis with AI-augmented detection, triage, and in-PR/IDE remediation guidance.
- AI-assisted detection, triage, and remediation are built into the platform, including remediation guidance in PRs and IDEs.
- Automated triage and fixes are documented (auto-triage and autofix) and Semgrep offers AI credits to control AI usage.
Keep in mind
- Free tier and some plans cap contributors and repositories, which may constrain larger teams on the free plan.
- If you opt into AI-powered processing, parts of files with findings are sent to a model for processing (documented data flow).
- Workflows that require confirmation that no file contents will ever be processed by external models; if that guarantee is required, confirm Semgrep’s local-only deployment options and data flow with sales/engineering before purchasing.
Pricing and plan limits
Teams is advertised from $30 per contributor per month. Code, Supply Chain, and Secrets are separately priced components; confirm your selected products, AI credits, and billing commitment.

Choosing a plan
Evaluate Semgrep by running a representative repo through its CI or IDE integration, enable AI features on a subset of findings to verify autofix and triage behavior, and confirm AI credit usage and local deployment options match your data-processing requirements.
