Provetry vs Snyk: a Snyk alternative for the CRA?
On this page
Snyk is one of the best-known developer security platforms: it scans your dependencies, your code, your containers and your infrastructure files, in the editor, in pull requests and in CI. Provetry does far less of that. It is built for one job: complying with the Cyber Resilience Act for the products you sell in the EU. If you are looking for a Snyk alternative because of the CRA, the two tools answer different questions. Provetry opens in November 2026; Snyk is available today. This page sets out what each does, as of November 2026.
In one sentence
Snyk finds and helps fix security problems across your code and its dependencies. Provetry turns your products’ dependencies into what the CRA asks of a manufacturer: an SBOM per release, a watch on exploited vulnerabilities, the Article 14 reports to ENISA, the disclosure policy and the technical documentation.
Side by side
For Provetry, the plan that includes each feature is given in brackets.
| Snyk | Provetry | |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Available | Opens in November 2026 |
| Scope | Dependencies (SCA), your own code (SAST), containers, infrastructure as code, running applications | Dependencies of the products you sell, and the CRA duties around them |
| Fixes | Fix suggestions and automatic upgrade pull requests | No automatic fixes; tickets in GitHub, Jira or Linear (Pro and Consultant) |
| SBOM | snyk sbom writes CycloneDX 1.4 to 1.6 and SPDX 2.3, on Enterprise plans |
CycloneDX 1.6 (all plans; up to 3 releases on Free); SPDX 2.3 and 3.0.1 (paid plans); one SBOM kept per release |
| Reachability | Java, JavaScript/TypeScript and Python generally available, C# in early access; through its source code integrations, with the CLI and CI in early access | Suggestions from your CI, with evidence (paid plans): Go function level (govulncheck), Rust from RustSec, package level elsewhere; npm and PyPI function level for the advisories mapped so far (Pro and Consultant) |
| Known exploited vulnerabilities | Exploit maturity and EPSS in its risk score (risk score in early access) | CISA KEV and ENISA’s EU list (EUVD) first, then EPSS |
| Article 14 reporting to ENISA | No | Reporting case opened from the moment you became aware, deadlines counted down, drafts that follow the fields of ENISA’s platform (paid plans) |
| Disclosure policy, contact address, CSAF advisories, VEX feed | No | Yes, with a public security page per product (paid plans) |
| CRA technical documentation | Not as such | Guided dossier and draft EU declaration of conformity (Pro and Consultant) |
| Pricing | Free with test limits; Team starting at $25 a month, for teams of up to 10 developers; Enterprise on quotation | Free for one product; Starter €49, Pro €149, Consultant €399 a month, excluding VAT, priced by number of products |
Where Snyk is the better choice
- You want security in the developer’s workflow: findings in the editor, checks on every pull request, upgrade pull requests opened for you.
- You need more than dependencies. Static analysis of your own code, container images, Terraform and Kubernetes files, testing of running applications. The CRA asks you to ship without known exploitable vulnerabilities (Annex I), and many of those are in your own code, which Provetry does not analyse.
- You need licence compliance across your dependencies.
Where Provetry is the better choice
- Your problem is the CRA, not the scanner. Snyk tells you that a dependency is vulnerable. Provetry also follows what the regulation then asks: whether the vulnerability is exploited (the CISA and ENISA lists), a reporting case opened from the moment you became aware, with the 24-hour, 72-hour and 14-day deadlines counted down, the reports in the shape ENISA’s platform wants, the advisory to your users, and the record of who decided what and when.
- You want an SBOM kept per release, not only generated. Free tools such as Syft or cdxgen write an SBOM; the CRA asks for one per product, kept in your technical documentation from December 2027. Provetry keeps one per release and watches it.
- You sell devices or software to EU customers and need the documents around the SBOM: the disclosure policy and the contact address for reports (for example in
security.txt), CSAF advisories, the technical documentation of Annex VII and a draft EU declaration of conformity.
Using both
They fit together. Snyk keeps watch over the code your team writes, day to day; Provetry keeps the CRA file of each product you place on the market. Provetry reads standard CycloneDX and SPDX in JSON, so an SBOM produced elsewhere can be uploaded to it.
What to check before choosing
- Is your product in scope? A pure SaaS usually is not, and then the CRA is not a reason to buy anything. The free check tells you in a few minutes.
- Who will write the ENISA reports? Article 14 has applied since 11 September 2026. Neither a scanner nor a ticket answers that question for you.
- Which plan includes what you need? For any tool, Provetry included, check on the vendor’s page which plan includes the SBOM, the reachability analysis and the reports you are counting on.
