Semgrep FAQ

Common questions about Semgrep, answered from independent, dated evidence.

What is Semgrep?

A SaaS application security platform combining static code analysis, software composition analysis, and secrets detection in one tool. Uses AI to reduce false positives and prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities discovered during development. It is indexed under DevSecOps Tools.

Source: https://semgrep.dev/pricing/

Is Semgrep free to use?

Semgrep is open source, so it can be self-hosted and used at no licence cost. It is released under the LGPL-2.1 licence. A commercial or hosted edition starts at $15 per contributor per month. Prices are published openly on the vendor's own pricing page. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.

Source: https://semgrep.dev/pricing/

What platforms does Semgrep support?

Semgrep supports the web and a command-line interface. Platforms we have not confirmed are simply not listed here rather than ruled out.

Source: https://semgrep.dev/pricing/

Can Semgrep be self-hosted?

Yes. Semgrep can be deployed cloud / SaaS, hybrid, on-premise and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.

Source: https://semgrep.dev/pricing/

What does Semgrep integrate with?

We have confirmed 24 integrations for Semgrep, including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jenkins, CircleCI, Azure, Buildkite and HackerOne, plus 16 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.

Source: https://semgrep.dev/pricing/

What security certifications does Semgrep have?

We have independently confirmed SOC 2 and GDPR for Semgrep. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Semgrep not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

Source: https://trust.semgrep.dev

Is Semgrep open source?

Yes. Semgrep is published under the LGPL-2.1 licence, a copyleft licence, so check its terms before embedding it in a closed-source product. Licence terms can change between releases, so verify against the repository for the version you intend to use.

Source: https://github.com/semgrep/semgrep

Where is Semgrep available?

Semgrep is available worldwide. Its primary market is the United States. The vendor is headquartered in the United States.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence

Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Semgrep, not the verdict.
