No free plan on the cloud platform, only a 7-day free trial; the open-source CLI is genuinely free. The pricing page has only two cards, Pro at US$29 per seat per month and Enterprise at custom pricing, and under the Pro card it says 7 day free trial with a Start for free button, which is a trial rather than a permanent free tier; the site does not say whether the trial needs a credit card, nor what the scan limit is during the trial. The open-source CLI can be installed with curl or pipx according to the official docs, with the prerequisites being Docker running plus an LLM API key from any supported provider such as OpenAI, Anthropic or Google, so the software itself is free but the inference cost is paid to the model provider; supported providers are OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Novita AI and local models. Scan targets can be local code, a GitHub repo or a live website. The open-source version has no usage or watermark limits, and commercial restrictions are not published.
