Mend.io pricing

“Contributing Developer” means any employee or contractor who during the term of the agreement accesses or uses Mend.io’s web UI application or any engineer, developer or other person that writes, develops or modifies the Customer’s, or Customer’s affiliate’s, code being scanned or monitored by the Mend AppSec Platform. For the avoidance of doubt, the same individual will not be counted more than once even if acting in two separate roles such as a developer and platform user.

Mend.io enables developers and security professionals to write secure code and utilize secure components, across every area of the SDLC. Therefore, pricing based on the number of Contributing Developers best reflects the impact of our solution, without limiting you on factors such as size of code or number of scans.

No. We take pride in offering transparent, simple, and predictable pricing. We price per Contributing Developer since we know managers have better visibility into the growth of their headcount rather than the size of their software or lines of code.

Most application security tools were built before AI became an application dependency. They inspect code, libraries, and containers well — but they can’t see the models, prompts, agents, and runtime interactions that modern applications now rely on.

Mend.io closes that gap:

• Code-layer security: High-accuracy SAST, reachability-driven SCA, and container visibility — prioritizing what’s exploitable.
• AI-layer security: AI component discovery, system prompt hardening, automated red teaming, and runtime guardrails — protecting the AI systems embedded in your applications.
• Continuous remediation: AI-powered fix suggestions and automated dependency PRs via Mend Renovate.
• Unified governance: A single lifecycle view connecting discovery, prioritization, behavioral testing, and compliance — from code to model to runtime interaction.

Mend AppSec integrates directly with AI coding assistants like Cursor, Windsurf, and Copilot to scan code as it’s generated — before it ever reaches your codebase. Mend SAST and Mend SCA feed reachability-aware intelligence directly into agentic development tools, catching vulnerabilities at the moment they’re introduced rather than after merge.

Yes. In addition to the comprehensive Mend AppSec Platform, you can add on or expand your capabilities with Mend AI Premium, DAST, API Security, and EOL (End of Life) Support for open source projects. A few other items, such as hosting, services, or custom agreements, may also be an additional charge.

Mend AI Premium secures the AI layer that most vendors miss, by discovering and inventorying AI components, providing AI component risk insights, system prompt hardening, AI red teaming to simulate threats like prompt injection and data exfiltration, automated in-app guardrails, as well as proactive policies and governance to manage AI component risks. It can be purchased as an upgrade to Mend AppSec or as a standalone product.

Mend AppSec secures the code layer — source code, open-source dependencies, containers, and AI-generated code. Mend AI Premium secures the AI layer itself with AI component discovery and risk insights, system prompt hardening with AIWE scoring, automated red teaming, and in-app runtime guardrails. It can be purchased as an add-on to Mend AppSec or as a standalone product.

Mend Renovate Enterprise is an enterprise-grade solution that automates open-source dependency updates with full scale automation and support. It automatically creates pull requests for new package versions and provides advanced features like Merge Confidence ratings and workflows that lets you know the impact each dependency update will have on your application with the ability to group and filter updates. Mend Renovate Enterprise is a key component of Mend AppSec but can also be purchased as a standalone product.

Yes. Mend.io includes the full extent of our database, which supports over 200 programming languages. We aggregate vulnerabilities from the NVD, dozens of security advisories, and popular open source projects issue trackers to make sure you’re always covered.

Pricing is per contributing developer which does not limit you with code size, number of scans, and number of applications. Limitations of the available expansion options may vary.
