Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“I'd recommend Snyk Code as a top choice based on recent analyst reports (Forrester Leader), reviews, and pricing.” Grok 4.20 · SAST · direct prompt · first choice

“Choose Snyk Code if your primary goal is developer adoption and you want a frictionless, speedy security tool” Gemini 3.5 Flash · SAST · comparative prompt · first choice

“using a developer-first tool (like Snyk or GitHub Advanced Security) for fast, early feedback during coding” Qwen 3.7 Flash · SAST · comparative prompt · first choice

“Snyk Code if you want the fastest developer adoption and a more guided "fix-first" experience” GPT-5.4 mini · SAST · paraphrase prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Choose Snyk Code only if you already use Snyk Open Source/Container SCA...The limitation is fewer supported languages than SonarQube/Semgrep and no custom rule authoring.” Muse Glimmer 30B · SAST · direct prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Snyk Code. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 112 of the 118 answers that named Snyk Code and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Snyk Code's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Snyk Code, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Snyk Code by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where Snyk Code is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name Snyk Code, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.

Badges

Wins only: a badge exists where Snyk Code is ranked in a category's top three this edition. Three sizes, one file each, light and dark; the code is under each.

Snyk Code is among the products AI models recommend first in Static application security testing this edition. Each badge says so in the buyer's words, names the edition, and links to the standing. The next edition issues a new badge; this one stays true as a record of October 2026.
