## What the models said for it

- "Top Pick: Snyk or Aikido Security ... Widely considered the gold standard for "developer-first" security." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Container security)
- "The Most Cost-Effective Commercial Platform: Snyk ... offers the best balance of price and usability" (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Container security)

## And against it

- "Developer-friendly for scanning/shift-left, but may need pairing with a runtime tool like Falco for full coverage." (Grok 4.20, Container security)
- "No runtime protection — it is purely a scan-time tool requiring a separate platform for production security" (Kimi K2, Container security)
- "useful for image and dependency findings, but they do not by themselves detect runtime attacks" (Perplexity Sonar, Container security)
- "Snyk bills per developer" (Muse Glimmer 30B, Container security)
