It uses a unique approach to achieve unparalleled accuracy while growing its knowledge base exponentially, and provides clear explanations for developers to understand and fix issues easily. The tool is available for free, with individual developers granted up to 100 scans per month, and existing Free plan users can simply enable Snyk Code by going to the Settings page. Additionally, Snyk Code supports popular development tools such as Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ, and allows users to scan open-source projects for free.
