Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Snyk yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Snyk across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Fourteen models, six prompts per category.

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 starting with Snyk or Aikido due to their balance of features, pricing transparency, and mid-market-friendly onboarding” Kimi K2 · ASPM · direct prompt · first choice

“Snyk appears to be the most frequently recommended option for mid-market B2B companies running modern stacks” MiniMax M2.5 · SAST · direct prompt · first choice

“I'd recommend starting with Snyk or Aikido Security due to their free tiers and affordability” MiniMax M2.5 · ASPM · budget prompt · first choice

“I'd recommend Snyk as a strong starting point for Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)” Grok 4.20 · ASPM · 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.

“"We are forced to use Snyk–it's basically infuriating support and false positives... it's also insanely expensive"” Claude Haiku 4.5 · SAST · negative prompt · soft negative

“Vendor-locked scanner suites (e.g., those bundling ASPM with proprietary tools like Checkmarx, Cycode, or Snyk)” Grok 4.20 · ASPM · negative prompt · soft negative

“Snyk's free tier ... though with limited coverage, no SLA and manual configuration” Muse Glimmer 30B · AI security · budget prompt · soft negative

“Snyk would cost significantly more for the same breadth of coverage” DeepSeek V4 Flash · ASPM · paraphrase prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Snyk. 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 143 of the 177 answers that named Snyk and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted

Every page snyk.io exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.

Names read as Snyk

What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as Snyk; a claim can dispute any of them.

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'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, 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 by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

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