The best ZeroPath alternatives for AI code security
ZeroPath is an AI native code scanner that looks for the bugs a linter misses: broken authorization, business logic flaws and auth bypasses, with patches it writes for you. Its Team plan starts at $1,000 a month before seats, which is a lot for a small team. You might look elsewhere for a free tier, a per developer price, an all in one platform, or a review that reads your code each week without a security budget. Here is a sourced shortlist, with Qoren as one honest option.
Direct answer
What is the best ZeroPath alternative?
It depends on what you want to keep. For AI SAST that also writes the fix and has a free tier, Corgea. For a rules engine that is free for up to 10 contributors, Semgrep. For one platform that covers code, cloud and containers, Aikido. For a security review of every pull request that reads intent and enforces policies written in plain language, DryRun Security. For a large vendor with a free plan, Snyk. For an agent that reviews your own repositories once a week and watches every push for leaked secrets, Qoren.

What ZeroPath includes, and what it charges
ZeroPath's pricing page lists a Team plan at $1,000 a month plus $60 per developer, an Enterprise plan on quote, and a usage based Credits plan marked coming soon. Its home page describes continuous pull request security reviews on every push, with inline comments, and AI generated patches it says compile, pass tests and merge cleanly.
- Team includes unlimited repositories and scans, AI native SAST with business logic and broken auth detection, SCA with reachability analysis, secrets detection and IaC scanning, runtime validation for exploitable findings, PR reviews with one click autofix, SSO and SAML, and Jira, Linear and Slack integrations.
- Enterprise adds on premises, self hosted or private cloud deployment, bring your own LLM keys, SCIM, a policy engine with custom rules, and custom compliance reports.
- It connects to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps Services and Gerrit, and lists DAST for live applications alongside SAST, SCA, secrets and IaC.

Why you might look for a ZeroPath alternative
ZeroPath covers a lot of ground in one product, and for a funded security program it can be the right call. The reasons to compare are mostly about price and shape, and each one below comes from the vendors' own pages.
- The entry price: Team starts at $1,000 a month before the $60 per developer seat, so a team of ten pays $1,600 a month, and the pay as you go Credits plan is not available yet.
- No free tier on the pricing page: Corgea, Semgrep, Aikido and Snyk each list a free plan you can try on real code first.
- You want one platform for code, cloud, containers and runtime protection, which is Aikido's angle.
- You do not need every pull request gated. A weekly review of your own code plus a fast alert on leaked secrets may be enough for a small product, at a much lower cost.

AI scanners that find and fix
If what you use ZeroPath for is logic and auth bugs with a fix attached, these two do the closest job, at a per developer price.
- Corgea: AI SAST that writes the fix. The free plan covers 2 members, 10 repositories and 10 PR scans a month, with AI SAST, logic and auth scanning, dependency, secrets, container and IaC scanning. Growth is $39 per developer per month with a minimum of 5, adding unlimited PR scans, 50 auto fixes a month, Jira and API intake from third party scanners. Scale is $49 per developer with a minimum of 20 and 200 auto fixes.
- DryRun Security: a contextual security analysis engine that reads your code's intent to catch injection, auth, IDOR and logic bugs, with findings and change summaries in every pull request and code policies your team writes in natural language. It supports GitHub and GitLab. Its site offers a demo and a free security assessment rather than a public price.

Platforms with a free plan
If you would rather start free and grow into a paid plan, these three are established platforms with published prices.
- Semgrep: free for up to 10 contributors and 10 private repositories, with its Pro engine, cross file analysis, custom rules, supply chain scanning with reachability, PR comments and 60 AI credits. Secrets scanning starts on Teams, from $30 per contributor per month.
- Aikido Security: the Developer plan is free for 2 users and 10 repositories, with SCA, SAST and AI SAST, secrets, IaC, cloud, DAST and 10 AI AutoFixes a month. Basic is $300 a month including 10 users, adding PR security review, Jira and Linear sync and unlimited AI AutoFixes, with 10% off billed annually.
- Snyk: a free plan with Snyk Code, Open Source, IaC and Container scanning and 100 Snyk Code tests a month, and a Team plan listed as starting at $25 a month with 1,000 tests and Jira integration. Enterprise is sold in credits.

Where Qoren fits, and where it does not
Qoren is not a scanner you plug into CI. It runs agents, and one of its templates is an appsec reviewer: every Monday at 04:00 it clones the repositories you authorized, runs Semgrep and detect-secrets as the floor, then reads the code for what a linter cannot model, such as broken authorization and IDOR, injection paths, SSRF, unsafe deserialization, missing authentication and data flows across your trust boundaries. It ranks findings by how exploitable they are in your deployment, not by raw CVSS, and diffs each week against the last so new findings lead.
- What it does well: every finding quotes the code with file and line, gives the attack scenario and the specific fix; accepted risks stay suppressed; a hard scope file means it never reviews a repository you did not authorize; and an hourly watch, or a GitHub push trigger within seconds, flags a freshly committed live secret with rotate and revoke steps, sent to you alone.
- What ZeroPath does better: a security review on every pull request, patches it writes and you merge with one click, SCA with reachability, IaC scanning, DAST and runtime validation, SSO, compliance reports, and support for GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps.
- What Qoren does not offer: per pull request gating, patches or fix PRs, dependency CVE scanning, IaC or cloud scanning, or a findings dashboard. The agent reads code with a read only GitHub token and proposes; it never pushes a fix, never tests a live system and never runs offensive tools. Per PR review is the PR reviewer template's job, and dependency CVEs belong to the dependency upgrader.
- Setup is real work: you build the scope file with the agent in its first conversation, including a signed authorization statement, your trust boundaries and accepted risks, and the agent will not run until it is complete. Linear or Jira can receive drafted tickets if you opt in, and model usage is billed on top of the plan.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best ZeroPath alternative?
There is no single winner. Corgea is the closest like-for-like with a free tier and a per developer price, DryRun Security reviews every pull request against policies you write, Semgrep is free for small teams, Aikido covers code and cloud in one platform, Snyk has a free plan, and Qoren gives you an agent that reviews your own repositories weekly and flags leaked secrets as they land.
How much does ZeroPath cost?
ZeroPath's pricing page lists its Team plan at $1,000 a month plus $60 per developer, with unlimited repositories and scans. Enterprise is on quote, and a usage based Credits plan is listed as coming soon. The page did not show a free tier when we checked on 8 October 2026.
Is there a free ZeroPath alternative?
Yes. According to each vendor's page, Corgea is free for 2 members and 10 repositories, Semgrep is free for up to 10 contributors, Aikido's Developer plan is free for 2 users, and Snyk has a free plan. Qoren's appsec reviewer itself runs the open source Semgrep engine and detect-secrets as the baseline before its own reading of the code.
Can a ZeroPath alternative find authorization and logic bugs?
Several say so. Corgea lists logic and auth scanning on its free plan, and DryRun Security says its engine catches auth, IDOR and logic bugs. Qoren's appsec reviewer looks for broken authorization, IDOR and missing authentication by reading the code against the trust boundaries you describe, rather than by pattern matching alone.
How is Qoren different from ZeroPath?
ZeroPath reviews every pull request and writes patches you can merge, with SCA, IaC, secrets and compliance in one product. Qoren runs an agent you own that reviews your authorized repositories once a week with a read only token, ranks findings by exploitability, proposes each fix in its report, and alerts you alone when a live secret is committed. It opens no pull requests.
