Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one contributing developer for billing?
A contributing developer is any employee or contractor who accesses the web UI, or any person who writes, develops, or modifies the code being scanned. The same individual is counted once, even if acting as both a developer and a platform user.
Does my bill change based on code size, number of scans, or applications?
No. Pricing is set per contributing developer and does not vary with code size, number of scans, or number of applications. There are no per-GB fees. Limitations on available expansion options may vary.
How do the code-layer scanning options differ from the AI Premium add-on?
The SCA Advanced, SAST Advanced, and combined options secure the code layer: open-source dependencies, containers, and proprietary source code. The AI Premium option secures the AI layer itself, covering AI component discovery, system prompt hardening, red teaming, and runtime guardrails. Both bill per contributing developer.

Comprehensive AppSec Platform with Fast Scans and Clear Remediation Guidance
Reviewed on Aug 04, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Mend.io is its comprehensive approach to application security, particularly its ability to identify open-source vulnerabilities, license compliance issues, and supply chain risks in a single platform. The interface is intuitive, scans are fast, and the detailed remediation guidance makes it much easier to prioritize and resolve security issues. I also appreciate its seamless integrations with CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, and developer workflows, allowing security to be incorporated early in the development lifecycle. Overall, Mend.io helps strengthen software security while reducing the effort required to manage vulnerabilities and compliance.
What do you dislike about the product?
One area where Mend.io could improve is offering more granular reporting customization and deeper analytics for large-scale security programs. While the platform is feature-rich and reliable, the volume of vulnerability data can sometimes feel overwhelming without additional filtering or prioritization options. I'd also like to see broader integrations with more developer tools, enhanced dashboard customization, and richer onboarding resources for advanced capabilities. Overall, the experience has been very positive, but improved reporting flexibility, expanded integrations, and enhanced usability would make Mend.io even more effective for enterprise security teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mend.io solves the challenge of securing modern software by continuously identifying open-source vulnerabilities, license compliance risks, and software supply chain issues throughout the development lifecycle. Instead of relying on manual security reviews or multiple disconnected tools, it provides centralized vulnerability management, automated scanning, and actionable remediation guidance that integrates directly into development workflows. This helps detect risks earlier, reduces the time required to address security issues, improves compliance, and enables teams to release software with greater confidence. As a result, it has strengthened application security, streamlined vulnerability management, and reduced operational overhead for development and security teams.

Seamless Pipeline Integration with Fast, Actionable Vulnerability Fixes
Reviewed on Aug 04, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What stands out most about Mend.io is how seamlessly it integrates into the development pipeline without disrupting existing workflows. The fast feedback loop enables developers to respond rapidly to any vulnerability or license issues ,catching problems early rather than at the end of the release cycle. The open-source dependency management with CVE detection, detailed vulnerability and license reports, and fix suggestions make it genuinely useful day-to-day, not just a compliance checkbox. The automated remediation saves hours of manual triage.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup and configuration can be overwhelming, especially for teams new to SCA tooling. The sheer volume of vulnerability alerts early on can lead to alert fatigue ,without proper policy tuning, developers tend to ignore notifications rather than act on them. The dashboard, while feature-rich, has a steep learning curve and could benefit from a more intuitive onboarding experience. Pricing is also a concern, as SaaS and on-prem software costs continue to rise, the per-developer pricing model can become expensive at scale , making it harder to justify for smaller teams or budget-conscious organizations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the core problems Mend.io solves is the lack of visibility into open-source dependencies and the security risks they introduce. Before using a tool like Mend.io, identifying vulnerable libraries across multiple applications was a largely manual, time-consuming process. Mend.io identifies, prioritises, and remediates security and license risks in open-source components automatically which means our team spends less time hunting for vulnerabilities and more time building. The CI/CD integration ensures that security checks happen continuously rather than as a last-minute gate before release, shifting security left in the development lifecycle. This has directly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond to newly disclosed CVEs, which previously could go unnoticed for weeks.

Mend.io Makes Vulnerability Scanning and Prioritization Easy
Reviewed on Jul 30, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like Mend.io mainly because it can scan for vulnerabilities. I used it mostly as a test case: I created a test project, ran a vulnerability scan, and then used the dashboard, which listed everything across multiple repositories. That view makes it easier to prioritize what to fix first.
I also like the support it gives developers by providing visibility into threats when it comes to open source. Onboarding and integrating it with third-party applications is also quite easy. In one of my test cases, when I was working as a developer, it initially took me a lot of time to identify vulnerabilities, but after using Mend.io it became less time-consuming.
Also, when it comes to compliance, it helps there too by license compliance and prevents manual work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Let’s first talk about the UI. The initial setup for the policy takes some time, and it would be easier with an onboarding guide to improve the user experience.
On performance, the dashboard has a lot of information, which may feel overwhelming for an engineer.
The pricing also seemed a bit high to me, and it may be challenging for a smaller startup.
When it comes to reporting, it could be customized further to be more useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now the world is changing for the better with AI. With Mend.io, I think the process becomes more efficient and reduces manual work. As I mentioned, I created a test environment and it was able to identify vulnerabilities that might otherwise take a lot of time to find.
In a production scenario, when it comes to vulnerabilities, it can take a long time to detect them and then mitigate them. With Mend.io, there is a comprehensive report that is useful for maintaining compliance as well, and it reduces a lot of manual work while being less time-consuming overall.
This is helping improve the security posture of the organisation.
