Arnica pricing

Arnica publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

Entry price: Free, then $300/year
Model: Per-identity subscription with annual discount
Tiers: 3
Free tier: Yes

Arnica plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Arnica pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Free	Free	4	Entry tier
Core Business	$360/year	5	+$360/year, 5 more features
Core Enterprise	$720/year	7	+$360/year, 7 more features

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers

The full Arnica feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

AI SAST
Software Composition Analysis

Security

Secrets detection

Infrastructure

IaC scanning

Containers

Container scanning

Compliance

SBOM generation

Prevention

Agentic rules

Integration

Pipelineless integration

People bring Arnica in for detecting ai-generated vulnerabilities in copilot and cursor suggestions, finding hardcoded secrets before they reach production, mapping container vulnerabilities back to source code, generating sbom for supply chain compliance requirements, scanning infrastructure-as-code for misconfiguration risks. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Arnica are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

How that compares in Cybersecurity

Too few cybersecurity tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Arnica entry price against other Cybersecurity tools

authentik	Free	Open-source core with a paid enterprise tier	-	vs Arnica

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Arnica badges page.

Before you pay for Arnica

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $720/year, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

Arnica runs on web, github, ide, and is published by Arnica. The full record is on the Arnica review, and the rest of the category is under best cybersecurity tools.
