  • File storage is capped at 5 GB on Premium and 5 GB personal plus 5 GB family on the Families plan

  • No published pricing tiers or free tier available
  • Requires integration with existing SAST and SCA tools for full capability
  • Focused primarily on code security within development lifecycle
  • Newer entrant with less market presence than established competitors
