Jamf Pro

  • Limited to Apple devices only, covering Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV with no Windows or Android device management
  • The product page names no price; it routes buyers to a separate pricing page or a 14-day trial rather than publishing a figure on the product page itself

Snyk

  • Free plan has strict test limits across all modules: Open Source (200), Code (100), Infrastructure as Code (300), Container (100) tests per month
  • Free and Team plans count only contributing developers making commits within 90 days; public contributions do not count
  • Enterprise plan requires custom pricing and sales contact
