Has anyone successfully negotiated Snyk's pricing? What's the playbook?

Hi everyone! 👋 I’ve been lurking for a bit and finally decided to post. I’m helping my team (fully remote, ~50 people) evaluate security tools as we scale. We’re currently using Asana for project management and Slack for day-to-day, but we’re pretty new to the whole DevSecOps side of things. Snyk keeps coming up in our research, and it looks really powerful for what we need. But I’ve heard the pricing can be… intense for growing startups. Our budget isn’t tiny, but we have to be smart about it. I’m curious if any of you have actually negotiated with Snyk on their pricing? We’re just starting the sales conversation and I feel a bit out of my depth. What’s the typical playbook? Are there certain levers to pull, like committing to a longer term, or focusing on specific modules (like maybe just container scanning first)? Or is the list price pretty much fixed? Any stories or tips from your own negotiations would be so helpful. I want to walk into this prepared! Thx!

Spot on about the post-pilot price jump. That's a classic "gotcha" that can turn a successful pilot into a rushed, high-pressure renewal.

Beyond just asking for the breakdown, I'd suggest asking them to attach the negotiated pilot rate directly to your "success criteria" document. If you hit your agreed adoption metrics during the pilot, the price shouldn't just be honored, it should be the starting point for the next conversation.

What did you end up using as your success metrics for those 10 critical repos?
