Socket pricing

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.

Where Socket stops being free

What the product covers

The full Socket 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.

People bring Socket in for blocking zero-day malware attacks in javascript dependencies, managing cve false positives with precomputed reachability analysis, securing python and go supply chains at scale, automating compliance requirements for regulated industries, real-time threat notifications via slack integration. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Socket 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.

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 Socket badges page.
