The short version

  • Only Trivy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Incode incode is now sold as Tyler ERP Pro and tylertech.com/products/incode redirects to the ERP Pro product page; Trivy reports what public advisory databases know, so coverage varies by ecosystem and unfixed CVEs create noise
  • They diverge on capability: Incode covers General Ledger, Trivy covers Multi-target scanning.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Trivy
