How do Snyk and Wiz Code cover AI code and coding assistants?

Snyk: Evo Agentic Development Security names Claude, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Antigravity, Kiro and Qodo, discovers MCP servers, skills and tools, and secures code inside the agent. Snyk Studio's MCP server lists Copilot among supported AI tools.

Wiz Code: Wiz Code plugins work in Claude Code and Cursor, and the AI-BOM inventories IDE extensions including Gemini Code Assist, GitHub Copilot and Cursor; discovery of MCP servers on developer machines is not described.

Assistants named on their public pages: Snyk: Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, OpenAI Codex and Kiro; Wiz Code: Claude Code, Cursor and GitHub Copilot.

Where do their controls run on the developer machine?

Snyk: Evo coding agent security is metered per active machine per day and can evaluate, steer or block agent activity; an endpoint application and tamper resistance are not described on the pages reviewed.

Wiz Code: Runs as IDE scanning, agent plugins and pre-commit hooks that catch secrets, IaC misconfigurations and vulnerabilities before source control; no endpoint agent or tamper resistance is described.

How much control does the security team get?

Snyk: Evo can evaluate, steer or block risky agent activity across discovered MCP servers, skills and tools. It requires an Enterprise subscription, and audit reporting on agent activity is not described on the pages reviewed.

Wiz Code: Findings and the AI-BOM sit in the Wiz platform, with SAST rules mapped to the OWASP Top 10 for LLM and for Agentic Applications; policy to allow or block specific coding agents or MCP servers is not described.

How do they fit the developer's workflow?

Snyk: The Free plan includes IDE, CLI and source control integrations, and Snyk Studio brings scanning into AI tools through an MCP server.

Wiz Code: Fixes land in the IDE, pull requests or CI/CD, and Wiz Skills let coding agents pull issues and apply fixes; there is no free tier and Wiz Code is sold as an add-on for Wiz Cloud.

How do they fix and prioritize findings?

Snyk: Risk Score weighs reachability, exploit maturity, business impact, EPSS and CVSS, and AI remediation uses an agentic retry loop. Ingestion of third-party scanner findings is not confirmed on the pages reviewed.

Wiz Code: Aggregates findings from built-in and third-party scanners (SAST, SCA, DAST), models CI/CD pipelines on the Wiz Security Graph, and the Wiz Green Agent applies fixes in the IDE.

How do they compare on price?

Snyk: free tier: Yes: Free, $0; lowest published paid option: Team from $25 a month (up to 10 developers); pricing unit: Enterprise credits (1 credit = $1).

Wiz Code: free tier: Not stated; lowest published paid option: AWS Marketplace: $58,500 for 100 licenses, 12 months, add-on for Wiz Cloud (marketplace price); pricing unit: Licenses.
