The CLI, web audit, and single-package API are free forever. Pro adds batch scanning, CI/CD monitoring, and alerts — priced per project, not per seat. A 50-person team pays the same as a 5-person team.

Socket and Snyk charge per developer — the cost compounds as your team grows. Commit is priced per project. A 50-person team pays the same as a 5-person team.
| Team size / scenario | Socket.dev | Snyk | Commit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5-dev startup 10 projects | $125/mo | $125/mo | $29/mo 77% cheaper |
| 15-dev team 20 projects | $750/mo | $1,575/mo | $29/mo 96% cheaper |
| 50-dev company 50 projects | $2,500/mo | $5,250/mo | $199/mo 92% cheaper |
Socket Team at $25/dev/mo · Snyk Team at $25/dev/mo, Ignite at $105/dev/mo · Commit Pro flat $29/mo regardless of team size. Socket and Snyk are excellent tools — they're just priced for a different model.
Per-seat pricing is standard in security SaaS because it's easy to enforce — SSO gives you headcount. But it creates perverse incentives: teams avoid adding contributors to save costs, and security coverage gets gaps.
Commit's data comes from public registries — we don't touch your code, so we don't need to count seats. Per-project pricing aligns cost with value: you pay for what you monitor, not for who's on your team. A growing team shouldn't cost more for the same security coverage. That's the structural advantage of being metadata-only.
No. Use all of them. Socket detects malicious code after it's published. Snyk finds known CVEs. Commit identifies structural exposure before any code changes — it maps which packages are the kind of thing that gets targeted. The axios attack (April 2026) triggered zero warnings in Socket or Snyk beforehand. The structural signal — 1 maintainer, 100M+ downloads/week — was visible for years.
A project is a dependency manifest you want Commit to monitor continuously —
typically a package.json or GitHub repository.
Pro covers 10 projects with daily scans. Enterprise covers unlimited projects with hourly scans.
Single-package audits via the API don't count toward your project limit.
Yes. The CLI (npx proof-of-commitment), the scoring algorithm, and the web audit tool
are MIT-licensed and free forever. Security tools that hide their methodology are asking for blind trust —
that's not how we want to operate. The value in Pro and Enterprise isn't the algorithm (it's public)
— it's the infrastructure: monitoring, alerts, historical data, and CI/CD integration.
Free tier: 200 single-package requests per day, IP-based.
Batch requests (up to 20 packages at once) require a Pro API key.
If you hit the limit, the API returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header and an upgrade link.
